Grand Prix Rejects

captainhappy

In light of Enoch's announcement, (and without saying this is the end) I would like to suggest that the admin's start a sticky thread somewhere on the forums, for people to post their appreciation of F1 Rejects, Jamie, and Enoch. Here's the first one: Guys, I am saddened to learn that the future of ...

Enoch,

Haven't been on here for Ages, but enjoyed the article immensely and just stopped by to say thanks! Pretty soon it'll be TEN years that I'll have enjoyed the F1 Rejects podcast.

Regards,
Nick - Canada

P.S. Is captain hammer still trolling the forums? (no disrespect)

I've been into motorsports for about 10 years now, and I knew this day would come at some point, but I wasn't ready for what it would mean to me. The events of Las Vegas are still so damn heavy on my heart tonight. It is difficult to explain but I know from reading around the web that a lot of Indyc...

Sad to loose you Dan, rest in peace.

A painful day for race fans, there are really no words that make sense at this point. My thoughts are with his family

Thanks for the review Enoch. Well done as the content you put up keeps the site worthy of a visit. I do miss the golden era of receiving podcasts, but I'd much rather have loved and lost than to. . . . . . . . .

Holy sheep s__t! I didn't know kimi new where the U.S. was. Well then, I almost guarantee we see the Kimster in the big VEGAS shootout (indycar).

Is it April 1st?

Really fantastic work on this article Enoch. Such a good read that he became a personal hero for me before I made it to a conclusion! Solana sounds like a possible world "great" if only willing to step on the world stage. BTW: you can become indoctrinated to Jai-alai by watching a couple s...

Sad news, just want to add my voice to say "get well robert". Seems like a man with the grit to recover and come back strong. I agree with EYTL though, the reserve list of drivers for this year is embarrassing. I fear L-R-GP has just had their year scuppered. Hulkenberg is the boy they sho...

Scott Speed has reportedly been dropped from Red Bull's NASCAR Sprint Cup lineup for next year. It is not known yet whether he and the sweet drink will stick together or where he will find a ride for next season. I guess he'd be a good fit for IndyCar, but who knows if Red Bull want to re-enter the...

Narain Karthikeyan has won the NASCAR Truck Series' prestigious Most Popular Driver award for 2010 - despite competing in only 9 of the season's 25 events. It's the first time a foreign (read: non-US) driver has won this (or any NASCAR) award that is decided by an online voting. Chinese F1 Idol win...

I bet my vintage "Bring Back Baumgartner" T shirt, that EYTL cannot pass up comment on this topic.

Who wants a robot? I want to see my sportsmen lose their minds and scream every profanity there is in Spanish, after watching his championship fade for 40 laps. If For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway still counts as an accurate depiction of Spanish profanities, there's going to be a lot of ...

My Reject is Fernando Alonso for a disgusting display of bad sportsmanship at the end of the race. If he cannot get past Petrov, well, that's on him. Petrov is entitled to race for position, and Alonso's display of frustration was a terrible performance. And really, it was proof of why he never des...

By the way, has Captain Hammer jumped on this bandwagon as yet? He tried, but slipped, fell, and got run over by Petrov. HA! fixed Team Nintendo/ PANASONIC/ Mugen Honda/ Bridgestone/ (earth car) entry. Wow, Sauber will be flush with money all of the sudden, with TELMEX on one car and PANASONIC now ...

While there is no title shot in the picture, I'm going to look WAY back to the last off season.

I am really looking forward to seeing Kamui with the #1 on his Team Nintendo/ Mugen Honda/ Bridgestone/ (earth car) entry. What a kick ass drive.

By the way, has Captain Hammer jumped on this bandwagon as yet?

I am slightly bored by Nick Heidfeld.

Enoch, I hope you recover soon. The effects of your illness linger AS YOU HAVE GONE MAAAAAAAADDDD!!!!! KK MUST NOT BE SLIGHTED IN THIS WAY

Excellent review from the trenches.

Not shocking. It didn't even make the nightly sports wrap in Canada. Relevence is sorley lacking for that series. (which I personally enjoy)

SPEED TV. My cable bill is twice as high because I have to buy it in a bundle, but I still pay. The speed tv crew is as much a part of my grand prix weekend as VIRGIN or Hispania . Although I prefer Peter Windsor to the new pit lane guys. (my credibility shot now!) Occasionally its blacked out in Ca...

I don't know why you do it.

I don't know why I love it.

But thank the GOOD LORD you are re-united on air. Welcome back men!

Takuma looked great in that green Lotus! His exit from the race was Classic Sato.

Scott Speed. That would have been more salient as a full stop, but I do have something to add. My experience in Canada, and I'm sure would be similar in much of the states, is this. It is an EXtreme rarity to meet a person who knows the slightest thing about F1 or open wheel racing. We (assuming I a...

If you say the fans’ desire for real sport takes priority, how do you make it happen? One car teams? A control chassis formula which goes against the technical ingenuity F1 also stands for? Or US-style means of increasing entertainment and combat? But then, bear in mind how we often deride American...

COST was the driver. I really think ICONIC delivered a pretty smart solution, given the need to draw manufactures and slash team budgets. If Audi or Mazda want to run in the series, one engine spec will fit any car on the grid. While there might be some competition from aero manufacturers to lure te...
