Re: The 'F1 Challenge' Championship- Another Computer Series

I didn't get the best of starts, but that worked to my advantage due to the traffic jam in front of me caused by the remains of Melrose and Zapatero's cars, which allowed me to take several places. Other than that, it was a quiet race for me, the Yamaha engine not having the legs of the Renault pow...

Is this one likely to be returning any time soon? I really want to find out what Deletraz is doing. :twisted: :twisted:

Re: The 'F1 Challenge' Championship- Another Computer Series

Oh dear, I appear to have returned to the wrong end of the grid, and be out-qualified by my team mate. This race will be one hell of a struggle, the Yamaha isn't all that powerful on the long straights, and I'm miles behind those fighting for points. I'm expecting to see one of the pistons go strai...

Re: F1 Crocks at Bahrain.

Singapore's version of F1 Rocks now has the boyband Linkin Park headlining, so the organisers are getting closer to hitting the nail on the head. It still is a bit bad anyway (in F1 life long fans scale). My guess is that they are trying to attract young teenagers (mainly girls which is not bad). I...

Re: The HRT thread

I'm sorry for being the Cassandra, but have we seen any evidence of the car at all so far? Word is, it's going to be debuted at the Barcelona testing days. I bet it will be last year's car with the new paint job. I would really like it if a disgruntled HRT employee sends the car out with one of the...

Re: The 'F1 Challenge' Championship- Another Computer Series

Not after my qualifying performance and my first lap did I think I would end winning back to back races. I suffered a puncture in the first lap after coming into contact with Christopherson's front wing, dropping me to last place on 3 tyres. It was lucky though that the heavens opened with force ju...

Re: F1RWRS - A computerised F1Reject series

Rumours now state that F1RWRS driver Damon Cannon, who will be out of a job at the end of the year, is considering his options now that the provisional 2013 entry list has been drawn up. Although Cannon has stated before that he is in the running for the second Precision seat, the paddock talk is t...

Reject Rules and Regulations

So many of the FIA's rules are rejectful, it's unreal! One of the ones that I absolutley hated was the no tyre change rule throughout 2005.
