They say you should never meet your heros but you could certainly extend that to watching your heros too if the first GP Masters event was anything to go by..

Complete pish. For those who were lucky enough to miss it...

30 lap race, with first 20 laps stage managed - first 2 or 3 to very obvious level - then final 10 laps were a bit more spirted but sadly by then the old spitters behind the wheel had cried enough and couldn't drive as hard as the car might let them!!

Dismal moments - Alan Jones gave up before the race because of a hurting neck, Johanson spinning on his own while the field circulated around 10 seconds off qualie pace, Laffite's obvious need for glasses and finally all the half hearted looks down the inside before the "after you, no after you" conclusion.

Too old, too slow, too fat and thinking of all the money they still have and would like to spend. Rubbish.

so how many overtaking moves did we see, and how come lap 20 onwards were nearly 7 seconds faster than the first half dozen?

Not sure I was defending F1 - although I guess Japanese GP proves the none overtaking thing wrong - even if it was a reverse grid situation..

Surely you'd rather see no overtaking with drivers on the limit driving at 100% than a race that needs to be paced?
