Sorry, very rude, I should have introduced myself. My name is Andy and I'm 35 from London. Been watching F1 since 1992 and have a love of both the modern era and the great history of this sport. I'm mad about the historic F1 scene and go to Brands and Silverstone every year to see the cars of the '60s and '70s in action. I've enjoyed these forums for a while and look forward to contributing.

Cheers. :D

Welcome to the forum. I guess the Ali Dia Football Thread will get a bit heated when the Derby della Madonnina is on. :twisted:

Then again, you could be a Juventus supporter, in which case the entire thread will self-combust. :lol:

Well then, it seems you have me nailed down! At last I can have some friendly rivalry with the other half... :twisted:

But yeah, of course, I have no respect for Juventus and their blatant disgregard for reality. They are trapped in their own little imaginary world where they've never done anything wrong. Most of the times I've seen a Milan vs Juve or Inter vs Juve game in a title-deciding game, the Milanese team involved has had the backing of their city rival against the Bianconeri! We might be rivals, but we are united against Gobbi :D

Hi, i come from Serbia, and it was Deletraz that brought me here. I started playing Grand Prix 2 again recently, and got interested in famous 1994 season, which is base of gp2. I started researching heavily on Pacific and Simtek and i guess that it was natural that i drop in here.

Well, Stefan GP was always too much of a long shot to form any kind of fanbase. Also, we are one the poorest countries in Europe, and really have no business of participating in F1 through a team. Shame for Milos Pavlovic not getting that f1 seat never, though.
