Yeah I'm still gutted about not having heard the V12 in real life. Fortunate to have heard the V8 (at 19k revs). I've only been to one race and that was British GP 2008 (as a militant Kimi fan :D), it was very exciting but the weather was atrocious.

Prizes confirmed.

I'll be getting a thread up in the next few days. The main difference between this and the Badger Fantasy F1 race is entries will be up to the race start so you can use qualifying to get a better idea. And this way hopefully more will enter as well.

Also, entires will be via PM so luckily i have an inbox size of 10,000. ;)

Great stuff :yy: You've single-handedly turned the motorsport forum around, last year it started to really die down. A worthy contender for mod of the year, definitely got my vote :yep:

A TSR run Fantasy F1 competition with prizes.

Sorting out the details atm but will be good. :D

Also, I was going to just do race results and not qualifying so then people can enter the competition during the race buildup. :)

Sounds good.

Better get my proper thinking cap on.

F1 movie 'RUSH'

Motorbiker — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 22:15:31 GMT

One of my real life friends dad worked in the film and he got to go to a cast and crew screening today. I am insanely jealous.

He's not even an F1 fan and said it was an awesome film.

Looking to this film so much. It's going to be great.

Ha i certainly did. great fun to watch almost everyone in the points, good thing Bautista didn't take Rossi out this time I doubt he would live it down two races on the bounce accident or not. Shame about Crutchlow though really and Hayden as well as quite a few others quite a few innocuous crashes today.

Silverstone Motorsport College or Bicester?

tillycat123 — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:31:24 GMT

I just wondered if anyone goes to either of these colleges or has been a past student there.

I have a placement offer at both, going straight from school and there does not seem to be much info online to compare them from a student perspective. One forum I did find suggested that the Bicester Campus was better organised but apart from that I cant find much.

Silverstone is Level 2 regardless of my grades. Bicester hopefully will be level 3 if i can get the grades, if not also a level 2 course.

It would be really good to hear how anyone got on and found the courses attending either college as I don't know of anyone personally.

2013 24 hours of Le Mans thread

With a whole year of testing/running they could be in with a chance of being competitive I think/hope. Someone has to take it to Audi, as much as they have earned their success, it is getting a bit boring, still better than F1 though - 3 Audi cars all capable of winning unlike Vettel vs Webber (sadly).

do petrols contain a turbo?

I'v heard they don't as the exhaust air is a lot cooler than that of a diesel engine as the compression in a petrol engine is not as great..

Is this true?

The Veyron has 4 of em ;)

Schumacher drives F1 car at Nordschliefe

Motorbiker — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 18:04:56 GMT

Lovely vid. Such a giant shame they couldn't just let him go for the overall record tbh.

Schmacher in an F1 car getting the record just seems perfect.

Can't believe he doesn't want to do it tbh.

Someone go suggest it to Vettel and challenge him to do it and he'll be out there the next week with Red Bulls money behind him to push for it.

Your favourite driver?

Spridget — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:05:55 GMT

I've always been a big fan of Robert Kubica. Had he not had that hideous accident he could be achieving a lot as Kimi's team mate at the moment :( Really humble and level headed guy too.

What is the best motorsport and why?(excluding F1)

BullseyeWalker — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 23:48:08 GMT

I love the american NASCAR its just the way the cars are so low on technology they dont even have fuel gauges its seems like such a simple thing just driving round a corner over and over but its much more that that and when they wreck they wreck big time

Anyone in to rallying?

National Anthems on the Podium

Anything that gives me a chance to listen to the brilliant Italian national anthem has my backing.

Who should Mclaren have hired this year to replace Hamilton?

YamahaLondon — Sat, 25 May 2013 20:49:01 GMT

Perez... without the money they would struggle.

Jenson Button

Homeboy Hotel — Fri, 24 May 2013 20:23:21 GMT

Jenson Button:
Classy, down to earth, approachable guy. Watching his in car driving is quality to watch, slick and effortless looking.

However, he is the oldest driver in the paddock and time is not on his side. Neither is his team to be honest with a car struggling to get into Q3. But I hope he has at least one year in the Honda engines.

If Button had a good car, he had good pace in the races. If RAI went to Red Bull, I think Jenson should go to Lotus if McLaren don't fix up their problems.
