18th to first, wow. solid job

1. Sutil - Bold moves. Bad fast. Hats off to you.
2. Checo - He may have caused his own demise, but wow, he was working hard out there.

Honorable mention to GVDG's quali effort.

I'm giving it to my favorite driver, Romain Grosjean. He was off the pace of his teammate, wrecked a bunch this weekend, and then took out Ricciardo.

BlindCaveSalamander, you are right on every front. Steam is many times cheaper than buying games for consoles. And when it comes to technical stuff, I only have a slight idea of what I'm talking about For me, the whole issue with always being connected to the internet doesn't bother me because I hav...

The idea that I can integrate my TV, laptop, and phone seems really cool to me. Alternatively, custom build a desktop unit that hooks up to your TV. Install Skype after the OS has been put in. Put a TV tuner card in one of the PCI bays. There. Better kit and no restrictions on what you can and can'...

First off, I must say that the Sony stock chart did make me laugh. Secondly, I don't really understand why there is the joint notion that the PS4 is going to destroy the Xbox One. Most of the ideas brought forth by the Xbox One do seem fairly interesting. The idea that I can integrate my TV, laptop,...

Advan would like to spend 9 million, 3 million yen across each stat

Hound55

Yes, it's me again. I just noticed that in the entry list for GT500, there are no teams running the Nissan 350Z! Which is odd indeed. With that in mind, is it okay for myself to enter a team just for GT500 as well as running the series? Or is it against the rules? If it's not against the rules, the...

F1 needs to bring back the one-lap qualifying system from 2003-2005. If the drivers don't like it, tough. One shot, one chance. It'd give us a chance to see full laps of the Marussias and Caterhams, so i'd be all for it. As would I, but mostly because I enjoy watching how fast certain drivers are i...

Undoubtedly the most popular driver in American racing is Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jimmie Johnson a close second. Kyle Busch has to be among the least liked notable drivers. Not a lot of love for Montoya here either. The most popular foreign born driver? Probably Helio Castroneves, though if Takuma Sato ...

Just out of Intrest, who on this forum thinks NASCAR should race at Rockingham motor speedway here in the U.K with Speed and BBC joint hosting the coverage? I'd like to see it. Problem is that the backmarkers wouldn't be able to get there due to money limitations. also, Speed only does pre and post...

So my question is: since I have now watched American-style pickup trucks racing on a 1.5 mile American-style oval without major incident, why on earth don't Americans race on ovals in the rain? (At least, the junior series? I might allow a bit of slack for those series attaining 200+ mph round thes...

I'm thinking Grosjean.

The end of Pastor Maldonado and Romain Grosjean? As long as they reset at the beginning of each year, then no. Grosjean is clearly capable, and we haven't seen anything out of him this year so far that implies that he is nearly as reckless as he was early last season. Mind you, that has come at the...

Jocke1 wrote:If JPM doesn't win in the next four Cup races, it will be 100 races since his last Cup win

He nearly did it in Richmond a few weeks ago. Leading the race with a few to go with a small gap over Kevin Harvick when the caution came out and it all went downhill from there.

I finally got one: What if Michael Schumacher didnt break his leg at the 1999 British Grand Prix? Perhaps he got his leg replaced with some cyber one that let him win 5 championships in a row? What if Robert Kubica received a similarly bionic arm that allowed the two to have the most epic battle in...

I believe that both of my drivers have collectively earned every type of reject award available

Good to see Lewis learned how to go fast finally.

I have some interesting what ifs from this blog post here. The entire last paragraph has a few questions for us to ponder. I wonder how an actually powerful Ford engine would impact Alan Jones' reputation as a driver, as well as how well this team could have done if it had lasted more than a season ...

Nasr in the Marussia? That would make me quite the happy camper

Hound55

Just watched a few youtube videos of this. It was cool to listen to all of the different engine noises and try to identify them before they got on screen.

Shame they can't make the trek to the states, but it's understandable.

I guess I'm going to put Alliot in the second seat. I'll finish up my liveries soon.

I was wondering why the IndyCar Lights series had 8 entries in the series. When my dad overheard during the replays of the opening lap crash in Long Beach "nearly took out half the field," he thought it was a humongous (we're talking Spa 1998 big) crash. How deceptive numbers can be... An...

The race itself. *Yawn* Really? Vettel may have drove away with it, yes, but there are still 21 other cars battling for position. There were quite a few hairy moments on track and it was interesting to watch the strategies play out. Just because the race for first is boring doesn't mean the rest of...

Rosberg did really poorly after qualifying first. Hamilton's drive was fairly anonymous. Are these signs of the beginning of the end for Mercedes 2013 campaign again?

Probably too soon to call, but it is unnerving.

Hound55

I'm giving it to Ferrari for finding as many problems as they could think of. Not their fault, but still. Both did terribly.

Honorable mention to Gutierrez for finishing behind Pic (even though he lost a wing).

Hound55

1. Perez - Wow, that was some stellar driving out of the young Mexican. Drove like a madman. I'm incredibly impressed. 2. Pic - Beat a Sauber. That's really good. Honorable mentions to RoGro for translating an 11th starting spot into a podium and di Resta for a superb drive to fourth and to Alonso f...

Unless it has been previously associated with something else if I hear music used in F1 music videos (be they fanmade or by FOM) I think F1. It was especially bad with Garbage's "Push It" where I was mentally adding the commentary that was left in a highlight video for the 2005 Bahrain GP...

CoopsII wrote:People need to stop beating up on Gutierrez , the lad is doing his best. Support his efforts no matter how lame they may appear.

Yeah really. He's taking a lot of flak considering that it is his rookie season and he hasn't had much time to develop. Most drivers take half a season to really shine.

According to Will Buxton, Canamasas has been sent to the back of the grid for pulling a move rather similar to what Cecotto did. How on earth does Canamasas keep getting away with this? In the words of Barry the Baptist, "he's a fackin' liability". I can't believe someone else has seen th...
