Don't know if it's been posted but has anyone seen the thing Honda did with lights and speakers around Suzuka recreating a lap from Senna's McLaren in 1989? It's amazing.
You been at the iillegal substances again arknor?
Montoya got very close to the 2003 drivers title. He lost it on FIA interference and bad luck and could outdrive schumacher on his day. Loads of pole positions during the single car qualifying period and a handful of race wins against the dominant Ferrari's of the period when the BMW didn't grenade at 20000rpm. A champcar title and Indy 500 winner in his rookie year in a unfamiliar car.
Montoya got a drive on talent. Same can't be said about Loldonardo.
Berger got a program as well, was he undeserving?
A legend is not the one who starts the most races or has the most race wins, it's much more than just stat's.
If Montoya is a legend then so is Eddie Irvine.
Montoya is more famous for been bitter about been a failure in F1.
TBH it was quite a good one. Irvine doesn't mince words and tells it like it was. His constant 'killed him/me' analogy does start to grate though.Eddie Irvine has already been on F1 Legends.
Autosport online subscription, is it worth it? Thinking of doing it for the in season stuff, as I always seem to go over the 30 free views much quicker. Does it provide anything over the free stories worth reading? Can I change my front page layout so I don't see the v8 supercars results every bloody time?
I gave it up a few years ago, off-season, but as soon as the next season approached I re-subbed. It's a pretty good site for news, some very decent writers on it - and it covers MotoGP quite well as an added bonus. They have Gary Anderson this year also, which really adds to it, imo.
I don't think you can change the page layout, never tried though, but you can just view the section you're interested in, so its not really a problem.
The forum's not bad, can be a bit puerile at times, but generally they're a well-informed and reasonable bunch (remind you of anywhere?) The mods (particularly Buttoneer) do a good job trying to keep it civil.
I think its worth it, but you can probably do reasonably well off half-a-dozen free sites if you're not sure.
Brilliant. So after getting only the 3rd ever purpose built race track in the UK approved, now the motor sport industry is trying to kill itself!

I get that Silverstone might be a bit annoyed they had to find all the funding privately to get their improvements built, but surely they need to look beyond the petty "its not fair" argument and consider the bigger picture.
The last thing UK motor sport needs is squabbling in itself!
Pathetic.
I understand that. But the UK has only got 1 top class circuit. We have space for more.
I think this is driven by the MotoGP. CoW has openly said its going after that contract, and the MotoGP is what spurred the changes at Silverstone.
But it still annoys me that CoW got past all the usual barriers (moaning neighbors, no funding, not being "green", etc), only for the industry itself to try and stop it.
Were meant to be the home of motor sport, for crying out loud.
