Whew!  Glad your still with us Martin.  Always get a little worried when I go on a full blown Senna/Schumacher/Mansell tirade that I'm really offending someone.
I just call them as I see them.

Hi

Suitably admonished and well educated. Fax, there is nothing to be be shy about you, as does Nordic, have the knowledge. I, as previously stated, forget all the stats but that is another story, thankyou Dr Smirnoff.

Garystout, welcome to this topic. Scroll back a bit and check the bollxcking I got - phew.

Is it Pimms o' clock??

Excellent,
We'll have to debate the pros & cons of Mr. Senna, Mansell, Schumacher, etc. over a few cold ones at the champers stand this year.

Not sure if anyone else watched it but there were a couple of nobs commentating, some Henry double barrelled idiot that seems to know Jack about racing getting 'terribly' excited because they were hanging the arse out a bit. As for the rest, sorry guys, thought it was a bit boring.

Martini...

One was John Hindhaugh and the other was Henry Hope-Frost, both appear on Radio Le Mans every year.

I agree the coverage was way over the top on Motors, I got fed up with how many time he said 'real racing cars being driven by real drivers' whenever there was a slidle I thought he was going to explode with excitement.

As a race I thought it was ok, a bit like Masters golf or 'Pro Tennis'. watchable but the real thing is much better imho.

btw even the cars where old. Reynard indy cars with widened cockpits and some aero changes.

Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.
