To start the off season I thought I would review my favourite quotes from this seasons blogs... so here we go...
Part 2...
INDYCAR -
I hope, if not for the sake of the series but for the sake of the Indy 500, that the new car brings life to open wheel oval racing in America.
Congratulations to the winner of the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500... DAN WHELDON!!
RIP Dan Wheldon
BTCC –
First 2011 rear wheel drive entry is... an Audi A4?? Pardon?? When was the last time you saw a rear wheel drive A4?? The BTCC NGTC specs state - "Drive-train layout (i.e. front or rear wheel drive) as per base vehicle." So much for that idea...
Good things - The new turbo engines seem to be working. Anybody can now buy an engine, put it in a car and be competitive! Lots of different cars! Bad things - The driving standards are appalling!
Two weeks ago I watched the worst of the BTCC. Rubbish driving standards with far too much shoving and not enough clean overtaking.
It appears the new spec cars are prone to terminal damage when making contact with another car. This means they will have to give each other room and race cleanly if they want to finish races! That would make a change!
We can now look forward to next season, which I hope will see all the top runners in NGTC spec turbo cars.
F1 -
…the DRS "overtaking" system (Drivers can't Race on their own System),
KERS, (the Kinda E-relvant, but the racing so dull we need to, Recover it System)
Hold the Front page... “Latest Grand Prix, NOT A Turkey!”
How much overtaking is needed in F1?? Well "any or some" would be a start!
What happens when you combine the latest line of young “racing” drivers, the most overtaking friendly F1 cars in quiet some time and the tightest, yet most prestigious “racing” venue? The answer... you get racing!
At Silverstone the track and the grandstands have separate postcodes!
Among the topics in my last post, entitled "British Grand Prix - Quick Thoughts", you will not find any mention of the Red Bull team order issue. This is because I wanted to give the issue more than a quick thought. I wanted to take the time to deliberate, consider if you will. This is the end result of those deliberations... Its rubbish, but that’s F1 for you.
Other -
Ginetta is Betta... erm Better...
I am loving the new G55‘s. They look good, sound good and race great! At last a National series I look forward to watching!
In a word Cars 2 is fun. It is entertainment that never takes itself seriously and just revels in taking you along for the ride.
