Ah even bigger *Yawn*
A demo on the streets (a la London three years ago) is good. A demo on a track is just plain tedious. Probably like watching a Euroboss race. |

Single Seater.
From the photo I took, they're going to be driving one of the BRDC school cars, which I think is (or was...) a 1997 Van Diemen Formula Ford. I had some ear plugs once. I ate them, didn't make a difference... |

Actually that reminds me, way back in the 60's me and a mate drove down to Brands in his 100e van with our girlfriends in tow and being potless drove all round the perimeter of the circuit trying to find a sneaky way in, no luck so we parked up and shared the van for a little time with our respective ladies, as far as I know there was no concieving but there may have been :-)

Personally I shall not bother.Plently of real racing on TV with A1GP from Beijing and Champcar from Mexico. If CC runs late I will have to miss the FF carnage. |

Erm...it was terrible.
I suppose the race itself could have been a lot worse there was some overtaking manovers, but also there was a serious incident that caused a red flag and one of the celebs to stay in hospital overnight. The organisation was terrible, with plans changing all the time and those in race control not being notified. Good job things weren't going out live. |
