Crazy scary crash at St Devote.

Red flag, owner of the house at St Devote could have opened their gates, as that Lotus sponsored car was almost over the barriers and through the gates.
I think the driver is resting due a wallop in the jewels.

Hmm lets try and get through a gap not wide enough for a car!

If you go off that far there is.


This one. May be a small apartment block or a single big house.

I was gonna say. Bit of a stretch but I didn't realise it was a house, obviously didn't pay attention when I went way back when.

Anyways, thanks to the joys of Youtube I'm watching the 94 race. First one after Imola, Wendlinger had smashed himself into a coma and so on. Dunno why but the 94 season really interests me, could be morbid curiosity, could just be that it was the first season I really watched as a kid.

One thing to say is just how neat and tidy the cars look. The liveries help but I think they look absolutely fantastic. All in proportion, good width, not too long, swoopy and hardly any aero bits and bobs to mess the lines up. If the FIA could give us something like this but with 1000bhp turbo engines I'd be all for it.

I am biased towards the 90s though being a 90s child. The cars looked amazing throughout the decade IMO.

Where is the tribute to Roland Ratzenberger? I might have not found it in the video, but it looks like they are only paying respect to Ayrton at around 15:30.

Edit: Wow, the cars are so much slower there. It's especially noticeable through the swimming pool.

I've had BT Sport for years and never bothered with it. Just realised I've been missing a lot of motor racing!

Vacuous ninny came to mind when Brundle stuck the mike under her nose. Never heard of her. Shame Berger didn't go into one just to upset the PC brigade.

If you can get access to their red button service theyve always got motorsport hidden behind that as well, today TCR touring cars, Blancpain Endurance live. BUT for some reason its hit and miss as to if you can get the red button, sometimes i can open it, sometimes i cant, others have mentioned the same.

Anyway back on topic, im excited for this, i know it wont be very exciting in terms of passing but its a great spectacle.

Everything that's wrong with F1 in that scene. Completely unnecessary vacuous unimportant tat.

The survey said do we want them, hopefully everyone says no.
They should stick them in a pen in the car park
