Dont tell me about… On the long term, Raymond and I have been competitors, ennemies, mates and close blokes! His team was X Racing if I remember well and his engine builder was Marcel Balsa's mechanic.

If you need to ask the price, you can't afford it.

Nice, I had a red one..... Don’t think it would get an entry for Le Mans Classic, though!

Price tag for the RS? Didn't see any. It can be anything, I've been told that a sister car to my '73 RS 2.7 made around 1M in the US few years ago. When you see how much it costs to build a new one almost perfect, not worth in my opinion. Plus you dare to use a replica. With added strength to the chassis…

There was a feature on The Gadget Show tonight about the Mercedes F1 ‘E’ Sports team. I must have been living under a stone, as had no idea the ‘sport’ was so big! £500k championship prize money, and 3 employed ‘drivers’ training every day at the Merc F1 factory......

Wow!

Yes you have been away from the pulse. One of my mechanics earns about £300 per month online racing, another is a steward at the FIA approved world championship with a £250k prize. Nice work!

Pretty incredible. Really picked up last couple of years. Commentary teams, finals,even had Hamilton at the Gran Turismo Finals.

Only thing I've ever done of note on a game was being 12 in the world around Silverstone GP .

Just another quick one I saw on Instagram which is JDR are planning to run a couple of Late 90s Nissan Primera STCC cars.

Might start a thread on announcments with regards to cars,entry lists maybe.

As we all guessed would happen, the scrapping of paper tax discs has resulted in an increase in the amount of untaxed cars on UK roads.

Nice of the government to share the savings with forgetful motorists though.
As if that wasn't going to happen, not very far sighted are they. 🤣

All credit to the person who took these. Top job. Just wish it would show up just a little smaller.

There I was quietly watching C4's Abu Dhabi GP rerun. Pop outside for a few seconds, came back in to shrieks and screams from the TV as MrsMM took it over to watch that dancing programme.

Never get married Will, you end up watching over-hyped tripe instead of major international sporting events. *Sigh*

Or am I just proving I'm getting old?
