Qualifying cancelled so the two main title contenders are on the front row, should be interesting...
And in other news, Pietro Fittipaldi in P3 in final practice, hopefully that pace translates to the race (starting P21 due to quali being cancelled though....)

1. Lance Stroll - Perhaps I'm slightly biased due to the fact I'm Canadian, but he didn't put a foot wrong all weekend and has made one of the quickest turnarounds in Formula 1 ever. 2. Fernando Alonso - I think this one is pretty obvious. Was in the top 5 for a short time in that crapbox and ended ...

Seeing Massa return definitely gives me mixed feelings. Not particularly a big fan of him but you just gotta love him. At the same time though, those emotional moments at Brazil are now worth nothing. Seems a bit awkward, and I wonder what will happen at Brazil this year (doubt it'll be as emotional...

A few nights ago I finally had an F1-related dream (I rarely have one, even though I know quite a bit about F1 for my age), yet it was.... Probably a bit too disturbing for a family forum. Trust me, it's disgusting, and I'll just say this: It involves Nico Hulkenberg in a battle in a GT race at some...

Bump.... So, my dad works for an Indy Lights team. Schmidt Peterson Motorsports. He was at Barber this year, and he talked to Roberto Moreno, the reject team king!! He used to work for Project Indy in 1998 (the team Roberto was on), so they knew eachother. Roberto was there coaching a USF2000 driver...

May 28th (probably the most obvious ever) 1969 - As even the official Formula 1 Twitter account remembers, in this day one of our greatest heroes, Canadian racing legend Al Pease, got the distinction of being the only driver in the history of Formula 1 to be DSQed for being too slow. That earned hi...

Just posting to show that your audience isn't imaginary. Hell, I sometimes get that feeling when I post in the "This Day in Reject History" thread! You're doing a nice job so far, very rich in detail. Whether you post every season or just the juicy bits is really up to you in the end, I d...

Well, to be honest, if I had the choice of doing the Indy 500 or some sportscar race in Europe, I think I know which one I'd pick

This is not dead, I've just been busy running a racing series on a game and also a big school project. Expect something this week. Maybe today. We'll see. BTW, I really need some feedback on the road to F1 in my previous post. Do all seasons, or skip years?

It turns out that James Hinchcliffe's crash was a lot more severe than first thought . 125g impact, and he was bleeding profusely when the medical crew got to him. Almost certainly won't be driving an IndyCar again this year, let alone the 500. I guess what this highlights is just how brilliant Ind...

WILL MORRIS STAY PUT? January 7th, 2030, Canada Karting News Nick Morris has come onto the karting scene with a bang. The 7 year old sensation won 5/8 races in his first season of karting and easily won the title ahead of veterans (in terms of their age… you can't really be a veteran when you're 7-...

END IT WITH A BANG Practice report: Nick Morris: As soon as I went out I felt comfortable with this track. It was a very fast, flowing track and I loved it. This gave me some real confidence as I started my first hotlap. I set some fast laps, but then trying to go quicker I had the worst crash of m...

I myself have been to a couple autocrosses to help some friends at my college's auto club get their cars ready, and I have a bit of an itch to do a autocross day myself. The problem is that I don't wanna potentially wreck my only car that I need for school. So if anyone has any advice, should I try...

Don't take it personally and forgive them. Most kids don't deal with younger kids that well, forgetting that, in the process, they also used to be as young. Also, it is a fact that a large majority of 9 year old kids do make terrible but funny conversations. Good luck to you and your venture. May y...

FEELS LIKE MONACO Practice report: Nick Morris: I went out and did a few laps, the kart felt okay. I kept going quicker and quicker, but the best I could manage was a second behind the person ahead of me.... I ran a bunch of laps, tried everything, but I knew it wasn't going to get any better so I ...

With such a big lead, are you going all out or being conservative in the final two races?

EASY AS PIE Practice report: Nick Morris: I did my usual routine but I just couldn't get used to the track. I didn't really like it, the kerbs were too high and there was no corner variety. My first lap was slow, but on the second lap I went a second faster. Not as good as you think though, as I wa...

Good luck to you guys. Maybe you guys may become Indy Rejects one day? Well, not Milka Duno esque, please NO. But I'd just be happy to get to Indycar And I just thought of something. Guys, just think: That weird, annoying, 9 year old kid who would make terrible conversations on the forum? He's now ...

OUT OF NOWHERE Practice report: Nick Morris: The start of practice went as expected, with me just getting used to the track. On lap 2, I had an awesome battle with a Birel kart and a CRG kart. After passing the CRG kart, I went a little wide, hit a kerb, and did a full on wheelie, landing it just f...

DRIVE LIKE YOUR DAD, NICK Practice Report: Nick Morris: On my first hotlap, I went wide at turn 2 into the grass. The kart got no damage and I continued. Later in the lap, I spun and got very slight damage after the #24 collected me at a low speed. Then on the next lap, I was a tenth off P1 in sect...

THAT'S WHAT I CALL REAL RACING Practice report: Nick Morris: My first lap went smoothly, I didn't spin and got a below average lap, just trying to get used to the track. Onto lap 2, I took turn one too fast and hit the wall, but I kept going. On my 3rd lap, I was 7 tenths off P1 in sector one, but ...

Looks meh. But does this really matter? Was this the reason they were so slow? Yeah, nope. They shouldn't be focusing on how their livery looks, when they have been the poster child for classic teams dropping into Q1 every race. Alonso and Button deserve more than this. And before you say it, I hon...

So, I doubt most (if any) remember my Dan Morris career that I started and just… left after one race. 1 and a half years ago. Well, it's not left anymore. BUT IT COMES WITH A TWIST. Dan Morris has not been retained for Sauber after he had an amazing 2013, just so pay driver Esteban Gutierrez can get...

Also, would appreciate if this could be moved to a better sub forum? I believe this sub forum is for archived topics that haven't been touched in a while but since it's back now I would appreciate if a mod could move it. Thanks.

THE FIRST RACE Okay, first off, I think this season will be 8 races. We'll see, I just need to find more kart tracks to get for RFactor. (Reports to be in a child's view, Nick is 7 years old, so don't be creeped out when Nick says "MY DADDY IS PROUD OF ME!!! ) Practice: Nick: Spun at Turn 2 co...

The scene: November 2012. The 2012 Formula 1 Season is over. Sebastian Vettel is crowned World Champion for the 3rd season in a row, as Michael Schumacher calls it a day and retires from Formula One for the 2nd time in his career. After a decent season for Dan Morris, finishing only 10 points behind...

So just downloaded Game Stock Car Extreme demo 2 days ago to see what all the hype is all about. Quite a nice game! Anyone have the full version? I'm thinking of buying it and I'd like to hear what you guys think about the game.

Hi there, apologies if this is the wrong thread but, I've seen so many people LOVED the classic LineDriver series, and I've found a game that is similar to it where you can set times around a set track (although most games have this, this game feels more LineDriver-esque). I believe it is both on co...

I came across a chap at the weekend who has built a replica samurai dagger/blade ornament for none other than Ukyo Katayama. It's cost them something like £4000 if I remember our conversation correctly. It has Ukyo's family silk in it. This is my favourite post since coming back to the forums. Abso...
