Grand Prix Rejects

I think you always consider the cars of the era you first became interested in F1 to be the golden standard of beauty. Thus I consider the cars of the early-to-mid 1990s to be the most attractive. "All the right curves in all the right places," as the recent chart hit states. A car you co...

I've probably mentioned this somewhere, but I'll say it again. The 2006-2008 cars (when they started sprouting all manner of fins/flaps and whatnot) looked beautiful. People complain about how messy and cluttered the cars looked, but for me there was something about that which screamed not only fast...

Today was a fantastic day for Sunderland and its fans. It seems Sunderland have a knack of finding ways to peg Chelsea back, and they found out how to keep Chelsea scoreless, forcing shots outside the box and great defending a part of it. Shame Adam Johnson is too hit or miss of a player, he along ...

Well it's been a rather topsy-turvy year personally, and sadly it's seen me become more and more distant from F1 and motorsport as a whole. I looked forward to the start of the season as much as anybody, I mean who wouldn't have? Apart from garbage double points (which ultimately didn't account for ...

USAC TAKE NO ACTION AGAINST ALFA The Indianapolis 500 organisers, USAC, have confirmed that no action will be taken against Alfa Romeo, following a wave of complaints lodged by their fellow racing teams. In a report, USAC announced that Andale Racing, Renault IndyCar Racing, Theodore and Porsche No...

Found an insanely great New Wave mix for anyone who likes the genre. Been listening to it over and over again.

[There was a documentrary shown on BBC4 a couple of months ago about Group B, and it was brilliant. Lots of great footage plus interviews with the likes of Rohl, Mouton et all, even Roland Gumpert. Not sure if it came out on DVD or not, but I hope it's on youtube as i'd love to see it again (would ...

Duval/Harry really reminded me of A.J. Foyt, mostly because of the accent and the look, and that appealed to me. I didn't really see a problem with Cruise really, in fact personally I think the acting all round was excellent. The wrecks I will agree with and yes they were overdone a bit, but in the ...

Just watched Days of Thunder. I guess you could say it really got to me. Great story, great scenes, great lines, great everything. Someone link me to a film about Group B rally cars and I will kill myself for not being born in time for the 70s/80s (although to be fair the film was released in 1990)....

Is it too late to enter a one-off entry? If it's not, I'd like to enter Rich Vogler, but with a Buick engine. As a multiple-time USAC champion, he surely should know ovals. With the lighting fast (but very fragile) Buick, he should definitely be a force at Indy. BTW, I'd really question your skill ...

Yes pretty much I guess.

Okay I've looked at my schedule again, and looks like I have just a bit more time. So today I'll do the first four free practice sessions first. The fifth session will take place tomorrow with qualifying.

Jeroen Krautmeir

Alright I'm afraid Indy is going to have to be a bit rushed. I'll be in England beginning Thursday, and will be without a computer most likely for 2 weeks. So rather than keep you waiting, all the practice and qualifying results will be posted today shortly, with the race results coming tomorrow. Le...

Yes I did. As far as I know you can't simulate rain, at least not by choice. Hmm... It's the only logical explanation for 3 hours though. Weird. I think I have the explanation: You ran way too slow lap times at Long Beach. The current lap record is 1:06.886 from 2006. I doubt that the CART IndyCar ...

Jeroen Krautmeir

Why did the Long Beach race take three hours? Heavy rain would probably be a good explanation. The real race took nearly 2 hours, so rain would probably be a good excuse for that extra hour or so. But since you simulated with xkoranate, you probably just ran the same amount of laps, IndyCar did in ...

Why did the Long Beach race take three hours? Heavy rain would probably be a good explanation. The real race took nearly 2 hours, so rain would probably be a good excuse for that extra hour or so. Dale Coyne Racing's second driver for the Indy 500 will be Danny Ongais, if he is available. Confirmed

Eddie was doing a very good job in Phoenix, before he had that collision with Fabi.
