Grand Prix Rejects

Yeah, my Marlboro Agip Scuderia Politalia Polski-Fiat 126p was obviously doing quite fine, especially when Pau is notorious for sudden attacks on your car by the safety car. I want to seize the opporturnity to thank our sponsors Marlboro and Agip...or Eni...or whatever they call themselves, for the...

Scuderia Politalia enters REECCS The Polish-Italian Scuderia Politalia Team decided in favour of entering the REECCS, after seeing how much popularity the series has gained over the last couple of months. Team principal Guido Jaruzelski is delighted to have, "brought together some of the best ...

The 2012 IndyCar almost looks like a 2nd generation CanAm car, just with open-wheels. But while most CanAm cars were beautiful, the 2012 IndyCar looks just horrible. I just hope that we'll see some decent aerokits for 2013 by the likes of Penske or Lola (Unlikely, I know. But here's still wishing fo...

This thread needs a serious bump, so here it comes: What if... ...Tony Stewart decided to stay with Open-Wheel Racing? ...IRL and CART kept common cars after 1996? ...Tony George didn't secede from CART at all? ...Greg Moore survived his accident at Fontana? ...ChampCar won the "war" over ...

What if Red Bull bought Sauber instead of Jaguar in 2005?

A what if that could have led to far-reaching consequences in the ATL Formula One...

cwilliams1976 could do that

"Hockenheim is a place that I detest. There are three chicanes, two of which you have to take in second gear, but since the rest of it is comprised of straights you have to take all your downforce off, which results in a very nervous car. It's horrible to drive as you have no grip and the car ...

Here's another What if:

What if, Fernando Alonso had some very bad luck at the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2003 and died after his crash?

Old Hockenheim. Seriously why did it have to go? The lap wasn't stupid long like the old Nurburgring or old Spa!!! (And I agree about Imola too - they had to change it post-1994 tragedies but could have made Tamburello one slow corner and eliminated the Villeneuve kink by just making that section a...

I enter the glourios Nation of Outer Heaven, with none other than Big Boss as the driver.

Larousse would constantly bicker around the end of the pack, duking it out with Simtek, while easily beating Forti and Pacific. Then they would have probably been sold to DAMS in '96, because Larousse was notoriously cash-strapped during this time period.

What if Nelson Piquet jr had crashed "too early" in Singapore (at the same place, SC required) so that Alonso would have not taken advantage? He's fired earlier, "Crashgate" comes out earlier, but Renault is made look like idiots afterwards. Perhaps Alonso might have left Renaul...

The only coverage I get in Germany, are some weird recuts of Superleague races on Bloomberg every now and then. Although I have to admit that they have superb web coverage. But unfortunately the series is racing in front of literally nobody. And that's sad, because it would be good to have a open-wh...

Seriously, it's sad to see that the once promising FIA GT1 World Championship turning into a rejectful championship.

Although I inform myself about many series, I only do watch series I get on TV/Stream. Because I don't have the nerv to download the newest races from any series out there in the world. Thus I watch the DTM, the ADAC GT Masters, the WTCC, the ALMS/LMS, the FIA GT1 World Championship and the World Se...

I miss the era of different engine concepts. Either the choice between turbo or naturally aspirated engine in the 80's, or the choice between V8s, V10s, V12s or W12s in the era of 3,5l engines.

In my opinion, two-times DTM champion Timo Scheider should have had a chance in Formula One. He was managed by Willi Weber, and he was rumoured for a Benetton seat in 2000. Unfortunately he never got a seat with Benetton and his relationship with Weber went to nowhere.

What if... ...Renault decided to unify their Formula Renault 3.5 and the GP2-Series, to concentrate their feeder series activities? ...Gary Paffett took the Mclaren seat alongside Fernando Alonso in 2007? ...Formula One was organized like the V8 Supercars, where teams have to buy a franchise in orde...

What if... ...Williams kept the Honda engines after 1987? ...BMW entered Formula One in 91/92 with the car that ended up being used by Andrea Moda in RL? ...Audi went to Formula One instead of Le Mans in the 2000's? ...McLaren went for a corporation with BMW instead of Mercedes in terms of Formula O...

As for Germany (And Johannes Seidlitz is a very good choice BTW), why not go with Nick Heidfeld's brother, Sven Heidfeld? He didn't compete in any on the said championships, so he must be eligible.

I'm bumping this thread, even if it is a bit old by now. I agree with Marco, the RTL coverage is horrible. Okay, they show it for free and it is a nice alternative for those without a satellite dish to receive the BBC or without a Sky subscription. But still, many people accuse RTL of being dumbed-d...

Prologue Heinz-Harald Frentzen was one of Germany's hopes in motorsport. Along with Michael Schumacher and Austrian Karl Wendlinger, he was a sportscar driver for Mercedes, and a very fast one. His performances in the World Sportscar Championship were so good, that Eddie Jordan wanted to sign him f...
