Anyone interested in F1 on the forum ? I’ve been a fan since days of james hunt , I used to watch it with my mum . Interesting times at the moment

 

[DaveDCB]

Yep, wife and I both watch it as much as possible, but since kids have popped along it’s very hard to follow anything!

Big motorsport fan, but prefer Brisca F1 as the other F1 I just find boring

Rallying but not been or seen much for a long time.
Did go karting yesterday a good morning plus took the glory both races

I used to love it, have been to watch it live when the cars still sounded ace!
Can’t be doing with it now that it has become intensely woke corporate bullshido - the drivers are dull, the racing is dull, the cars are dull…
Too many rules - it is supposed to be the epitome of motorsport. They should be allowed to race anything that fits within certain measurements and has a seatbelt, and see what creativity, massive budgets and clever engineering can actually accomplish!

Caught European rally just before I left yesterday morning.
Thierry Neuveau was looking good for the title

used to go to Le Mans 24hr every year, from '82, 'til they dropped the group C stuff in '93 .. wasn't the same without all the big motors circulating the Astons and Kouros Merc.s were something else to listen to

Mrs took me to Daytona 500 for my birthday while we were over there once… once you get over the countless round and round and round.. it’s pretty awesome! A 20car 200mph pileup 20ft infront of you is something I won’t ever forget!

Same as the group b rally cars. Pich black middle of the forest at midnight then you heard the roar in the distance followed by Blackpool illuminations and just like that gone

Used to watch WRC when it was Rally GB, they were often based in Chester. They did special stages at Oulton Park and tore up Welsh forests every day - when you watched in the dark the brake disks were glowing red!

are you following the shootout, i have not been to f1 stockcars for a while, i did go to f2 world as it was held at nearest track to me. i was rooting for 138 in the ones but he is hampered a bit by only having a shale car, need some rain for the tarmac rounds for him i think.

I’ve been to a couple of meetings here and there, but struggling for free weekends. Bradford looked lively this weekend, only briefly looked at shootout tbh. Tom Harris isn’t running away with it but when I’ve seen him on tarmac he’s on another level!

Great race today ! Love that Norris is gaining on verstappen but I think red bull may of done enough already . Sainz win was brilliant , delighted for him before going to williams but looking forward to seeing Hamilton in that Ferrari next year

 

[TiltyShaun]

It is a most watch for me. Can’t stand Verstappen and this year I am a Norris fan just to hope he catches him. Hamilton is my favourite and I hope he does well at Ferrari.
Big Williams fan over the years and was a very proud Dad when my son worked there for a year. Great day out when I had the factory open day. Amazing collection of cars in the museum.

Used to go to Scarborough to watch the gold cup as a kid - got me into bikes - raced a bit myself and used to love 500 era moto gp but more recently my interest has wained, it's all wing packages and rider aides, and even Marquez couldn't win till he joined the Ducati cup, good job he's still in there though.. annoying everyone by actually being aggressive and controversial unless it would be v dull.
