Fantastic race, lots of action through the field and an amazing venue that's been tailored for F1 but works so much better for the fans when the Bernie circus is not in town. I had a standard roving ticket (£40 for the whole weekend) and could get almost everywhere. There were buses running constantly around the…

NISMO Hoybrid!

I want to see him race the elite drivers around Silverstone on bicycles. I think we might hear a few new racing driver's excuses ;)

This is the work of James Gibson. He takes good photos and can also manipulate them well.

It’s not a track. It’s an access road. I’m guessing he’s driving like an idiot on that road because his car was too loud to be allowed on the real track. The rocks are there either to prevent people parking in the wrong place to to dissuade morons from driving too quickly there. This is not the correct use of this…

When I was a student, I had a part-time job as a tour guide at a wacky historical tours company in Edinburgh. My boss loved April Fool’s jokes, so he sent out a press release on the 31st of March saying that he represented a pyrotechnics technician/electrician who was heroically injured on the big movie of the day,…

Here's an interesting observation from someone with a lot more knowledge and experience of racing at the Nürburgring than myself:

It's actually DMSB, not DMSV.

Legal requirement. Engine capacity, max power output, length and width are what define a kei-class car. Hence most of them are boxes on wheels to make the most of the restricted volume.

Hey Matt,

Not true. The second fence is for keeping people out of the forest (protected woodland). The spectator area is where the car has landed.

The windscreen appears to do little more than screen the wind. Possibly limit the effect of some light rain too.

"Bulletproof" G-Wagen? Really? There is nothing bulletproof about that G-Wagen, literally or figuratively. It doesn't have any side or rear panels, for a start. The pizza is probably more bulletproof than that thing.

Pirelli P7? My Countach had them. It was a Tamiya kit, but the tyre pattern was correct...

A lovely pair of Bristols...

This is just Kenny Brack reminding himself where the limit is. Hopefully he'll just skirt along it tomorrow.

Olivier Pla sure has the skills to pay the bills. I wonder what he'll be racing at Le Mans this year?
