It really is just like the old days... Mansell's ill, so if he wins he'll make sure everyone hears how he battled through the pain despite being pumped full of Lemsip, and if he loses it's because his nose kept running in his helmet.

And there's non-free video streaming (or on demand if you want) on www.gpmasters.com

I doubt they'll ever get Piquet. His feet and ankles are still not right after the shunt that ended his career. I'm quite surprised Fittipaldi is giving it a go, but good on him for doing so. If Prost were to do it, I reckon he'd win. You'd think Scheckter would be out at Kyalami of all places, even though he's based in the UK now.

he wouldn't need his feet with Salazar in the field. Seconds out Round 2

You may well be right, but let's give the guy a chance. Afterall, this was part of the Mansell make up and what made him (and I hope stil does) such an exciting driver to watch.

There are only 15 cars ready, he was the 16th driver to sign up.

Kicking-back · 12 Nov 2005, 12:13 (Ref:1458788)

Alan Jones has now had to pull out - he's aggravated a long standing back injury

**Adam43** · 12 Nov 2005, 12:22 (Ref:1458799)

Cheers. Simple as that.

Kidzer · 12 Nov 2005, 12:28 (Ref:1458805)

I thought it was his neck that caused him to pull out?

Kicking-back · 12 Nov 2005, 12:30 (Ref:1458809)

He said in a TV interview just now it was a back problem.

He's going to get it fixed over the winter.

strider · 12 Nov 2005, 12:36 (Ref:1458816)

Whatever, Salazar is out there now in qualifying, so there will still be 15 cars on the grid.

I'm not quite sure what I think of all this just yet.

No, 14, because Salazar's taken over from Jones.

Here's the grid:

MANSELL
FITTIPALDI
PATRESE
LAMMERS
DE CESARIS
WARWICK
DANNER
CHEEVER
STUCK
JOHNANSSON
ARNOUX
SALAZAR
TAMBAY
LAFFITTE

I enjoyed that. It was just like old times. Too much power, not enough grip. Do as many laps as you wish. Happy days are here again. FIA take note, that is what single seaters are all about.

luke · 12 Nov 2005, 13:05 (Ref:1458836)

Those cars are amazing! on an amazing circuit, with amazing drivers. Hundred times better than the current F1!

I can't wait for the race tomorrow my heart is beating already now Lol.

i think they can only do 12 laps , mansell only did 7 and still got pole , come on red 5

will def. get tickets for brands next year ...btw commentery was disapointing on motors , they droned on a bit in my opinion !!

luke · 12 Nov 2005, 13:15 (Ref:1458844)

Well you probably know about this but Murray Walker is doing the commentry for BBC tomorrow.

luke · 12 Nov 2005, 13:16 (Ref:1458847)

I'm sorry if this has all ready been mentioned but I have only followed this recently..
It says on the main site that Alain Prost is a driver in the series yet he doesn't seem to be racing this weekend. Could some one explain why? Thanks....
It says drivers have to be retired from all forms of open wheel racing which he does gt races in France and ice racing so....

Nigel Mansell:

"We have enough practice time to get the cars well set-up and have a proper qualifying session where we can do as many laps as we like."

armchair racer · 12 Nov 2005, 13:24 (Ref:1458853)

my understanding is that he has ice racing commitments this weekend and he is doing the series next year!!

They're not open wheel cars, at least not to start with...
