never really been into watching/spectating at motor sports - other than the yearly pilgrimage to Le Mans (as above) -- did the odd enduro in the '80s, but was more into time trials and rode most weekends at various club meets, or out roaming the mountains, round here if there was nothing on, on a particular Sunday .. certainly kept me fit

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!

yes tom harris is the main man at the moment almost on another level, the shootout has livened up after bradford although tom will be hard to beat at hednesford i think.

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.

Same here ! Always been a fan of lewis and can’t stand verstappen or Christian Horner . love the British teams and would love to see williams have a resurgence . Sounds like they have some positive changes in the offing and sainz will be a great addition . What was your son doing there ?

Had an office next door to Sir Frank, he worked in the finance dept. Incredible place to work. All resources went into racing. How to run a tight focused ship with minimal waste…….go there and learn!!

Those motorsports fans here of an age that remember the good ole days BTCC super tourers, group A rally, turbo F1 cars etc will be happy know that from 2025 a lot of the 1990-2000 era cars come under the historical technical passport allowing them to race again competitively, to say i'm happy is an understatement. https://www.fia.com/news/future-reg...pendix K,and international motor sport events.

I wonder if that means this will be back out?
