A Tribute to the Heroic Failures of GP Racing - at Goodwood

Post by MinardiFan95 »

It seems that we aren't the only people celebrating the heroic failures of Grand Prix racing, as for this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed a new class known as "Flat Broke but Fearless" has been introduced for the hillclimb - a class just for cars from teams that either had a profile on F1 Rejects, deserved a profile on F1 Rejects or were heroic underdogs that managed to 'unrejectify' themselves.

Entrants in this class include a pair of LEC CRP1s, the 6 wheeled March 2-4-0, an Amon AF101, the unraced Tecno E371, a Coloni C3, the Minardi M189 that Pierluigi Martini lead a lap at Estoril in, a Simtek S951, a Pacific PR02 and last but not least, the reject favourite - the worst F1 car of all time - the Life L190.

Does listening to a dog licking its balls get you excited?

Well, some reject appreciation there. (Eye roll smiley we used to have)

I miss the old smileys :(
See? It's just not the same.
This :D looks more like a laughing face than a smiling one to me, more so than this :lol:
This :mrgreen: has taken on a completely different meaning and is especially confusing when browsing through old threads.
This :roll:, which replaced what UgncreativeUsergname was looking for, doesn't have the same impact.
I'm also not big on this :P Definitely preferred the old one.
Having said that, though, I love this :dance:, this, ;), this :glasses: and this :cry:

One car in particular appears to be missing from that list that ought to be there in my opinion - the MasterCard Lola T97/30 (or even the T95/30...).

I love the fact that, even when it is only trying to undertake a demo run, they are having to tow the L190 along the course...
