Well that just about does it....
It just proves that common sense or any idea about why they exist has gone out of the window. How on earth could they have not been able to come up with a solution? Ok Michelin have screwed up but to have 6 (yes SIX) cars starting is madness. Well that frees up time on Sundays. Very Sad...... |

It's the beginning of the end for F1.The FIA were starting to draw up new regs for 2008, but they'll only have Ferrari to apply them to as I can see the breakaway ,GPWC that the manufacturers had been threatening to do, happening now.

The F1 Circus - Run by the Clowns. I lost faith in it years ago - this re-affirms it. Sad day for F1.
Some poor guy saved up for 2 months to see this fiasco. It deserves all it's going to get. Our track days & events are a thousand times better. At Rockingham you could get near to the action - & for Free. (Right get off my soap box now). |

Best of it is,as some yank said,that this would never have happened in Cart,IRL and Nascar which are supposed to be inferior to F1.They would've resolved the problem,chicane or new tyres or what ever and all the teams would've been happy to go racing.They do it for the fans.
Listening to Frank Williams sounds like the FIA cocked all this up by being so up themselves and not allowing a chicane.Hope they're happy now and hope the fans boycot the next race. |

So back to the thread!........
Agreed, F1 has been going downhill for years - 10 teams? 20 cars?? that's only just more than the BTCC!!!!!
So come to the ROCK for SCSA - (ascar by any other name!) 1st weekend of the month May till October, Can't promise you as many cars than NASCAR, but certainly more than the US GP - and more fun (& cheaper!)!! |

[QUOTE=micky_h]No problem.I'm just waiting for Badger540 coming on and having a whinge for jumping a limo off a ramp into caravans now. What a great opportunity Missed!!!!!!!! They could have stuck the 3 Stooges in the Limo, did the jump and panned to the 3 Mums---The New presenters----who spoke more sense than the stooges put together. |
