2004. I would suggest you look at 2000-3 PBTCC for drivers.

I'm fairly sure Smith is already in the BTCC...

Martin Brundle (as Glocks mechanics search under his car to fix a problem): "Looks like the driver's gone missing and they're looking for him!"
Possibly my favourite bit of commentary ever.

Blencowe Astra: #24
406 Coupe: #83

FloProAct

In that case, we'll buy the Dynamics Astra and put Alan Blencowe, who drove in the PBTCC in 2003 so is hopefully eligible, in it for the whole season. We may buy a second car later on in the season depending on prize money. Also, just a suggestion, but what about offering the championship winner a ...

Pines Racing would like to register a preliminary entry into the series, but we will wait until the full car list is out before making any firm plans. I'm very tempted by those Alfa's though, although I suspect their performance in this series will be closer to real life than ToCA Race Driver, where...

I think John Batchelor fielding a Peugeot 406 Coupe for Richard Marsh may well be the worst Team/Car/Driver combination in BTCC history...

EDIT: I've just realised that for two rounds in 2004 Batchelor put Marsh in a 307 so I take back this statement.

In contrast to many of the other teams, Proton would be very happy to have Neate on the BTCC grid in 2004, as it increases the number of drivers we may be able to beat. We therefore refuse to give Tech-Speed their protection money. You will regret this when the Cosa Nostra turn up at your door! We ...

We are interested in hiring:
Tim Coronel
Richard Marsh
Gareth Howell

HEY! Howell's already contracted to Proton! He may have been my 15th choice for a seat, but I'm not going to let him go that easily....

Sad to say, but surely this is Jochen Rindt?

WE HAVE DRIVERS! AND ALL OF THEM ARE BETTER THAN FARIQUE HAIRUMAN!

John Batchelor Racing is still available, starting budget is £600,000. Shouldn't it be called John B&Q Racing? Oh god, didn't he actually legally change his name to that in 2002? B&Q have long since cut their ties with the team by this point. Yes. yes he did. I believe he was also John Top ...

WOW. 10 drivers, and not one wanted to sign for us? Who could resist the racing might of Proton? Anyway, our next driver offers are as follows: 1) David Leslie 2) Gavin Pyper 3) Carl Breeze 4) James Kaye 5) Gareth Howell 6) Phil Bennett 7) Danny Buxton 8) Paul Wallace Again, all on no salary. EDIT: ...

Due to Proton's relatively diminished budget compared to the other works teams after car registration, we have decided not to offer salaried drives. Nevertheless, we would like to give offers to the following drivers: 1) Yvan Muller 2) James Thompson 3) Matt Neal 4) Paul O'Neill (though I'm assuming...

Katayama/Trulli - Minardi 1997

FloProAct

I love the contrast between the state of the art Toyota motorhome next to Arrows' aging bus with a tent attatched...

FloProAct

In that case I will withdraw my driver choices.
I do, however, still want 3 Impians with numbers #20, #99 and #81.

FloProAct

Given other guesses, they're probably too recent but Benetton?

FloProAct

Proton would like to enter 3 Impians:

#20: Farique Hairuman
#99: Shaun Watson-Smith
#81: Gavin Smith

Though I'm not entirely sure we're supposed to be picking drivers yet. Samster, can you clarify?

FloProAct

May as well get involved with one of these series....

In the true spirit of rejectfulness, I'd like to take Proton please.

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)...

Webber/Klien - Jag 2004

Yeah we can do this: Mark Webber and David Coulthard 2007

WHAT? But....but....why?

No we haven't. We can save this.

Unsurprisingly, noone notices that Michael Schumacher appears to have been replaced with a cardboard cutout...

1. Kubica. A very good drive from near the back of the field.
2. Chandhok. Frankly, the fact that he was there was an achievement in itself!

There is only one surefire way to promote overtaking...

Chanoch Nissany was one of the worst F1 drivers of all time!

He also makes very nice tea, and is probably better than Ricardo Teixeira.

Hells yes. I think that 1997 proved that most people could be world champion in the right car (other than Heinz-Harald Frentzen).

I would say that doing a documentary means that the final film is more likely to be watchable and enjoyable, since we've seen in the past that racing rarely makes for a good drama film, and it would save us from attempts to crowbar in artificial plot twists when real life is more adept at that.

Not sure what you mean. Clearly Dallara has had very real F1 experience from 1988 to 1992, but was this "the obvious" you were referring to, and in fact you mean Dallara has no recent F1 experience to speak of? Correct, and it was years ago. Dallara has some of the best engineers in the b...
