Very nice pictures...

Apparently, there were just 200 (yes, two hundert) or so spectators  :o :o :o

I rather guess that a fifth race in Europe (lets say sunny Barcelona) would have pulled a lot more crowd.

I hope Ratel learns...  ;)
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

I'd have to agree there HGB, me thinks a race at Barcelona, Jerez or one of the southern Italian circuts (Vallelunga or Mugello) might have been a better option.  Looks like a lot of multi colored empty seats in Turkey. Shame because there was some nice equipment on hand.  I suspect Turkey is all F1 gaga at the moment because Bernie told them F1 is great. Whats the old line about a sucker born every minute?

Okay, I wasn't far off guessing 300 then :-\

It was a wet race, it looked even wetter than Silverstone! :o

Was pretty shItty to try and follow too, with the GPMasters "interfering" half way through the race. By the time I got back into it, the race was over >:(

Yes, I'll be in Spa for race day. Slut bars in Liege??? Sounds interesting! Any details?
