An hour long program is better than nothing at all. The BTCC is a fast and furious series with incredible dicing and battles. I will have to check this out and begin recording the races. Thanks for the info!

I love your line of thinking!

Yes, but I want you to have one to own and then be part of a life adventure. I want to read of glorious road trips and hooning.

Actually, it goes back earlier than Bellof's accident, which I saw when the race was being covered. It really began in the 70s when F1 became less of a gentlemen's sport and more of fierce rivalries, both with teams and with drivers. Your examples really do not support your argument because I am talking about top tier…

Well Dan Gurney did well and so did Mario as well as Jack Brabham and Phil Hill. But, as you said, we lost many good drivers, usually in F1 races. Had the safety been better back then, we would probably have most of them around today. I still am grieving over the loss of Jim Clark and Mark Donohue.

People exaggerating about automotive adventures? What is this world coming to? Well, I am pretty sure that my 1976 VW Scirocco could do 15o mph. Well, I am pretty sure...

Oh, I am sure it is exactly as you say. The investment makes racing in any other series to be unacceptable as you said. I do also believe there is a safety risk as well. Look at what happened to Mark Webber. Still, what a thrill it would be to have Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton et al to be racing at LeMans. Well, we can…

Wags... well played I must say!

I say that we crowd source the funds so that Patrick can drive one and give us many fun and adventurous articles!

It is too bad that there is very little crossover these days between different types of racing. Think back to June of 1967: Dan Gurney along with A.J. Foyt won LeMans on June 11th driving a Ford Mk IV. One week later on June 18th, Dan won the Spa F1 race in his own Eagle. He also raced at Indy and drove a Lola-Ford in…

Yes, yes and YES! Ford REALLY needs to have an P1 car, not a P2 car. A P1 car like the Mk II and Mk IV that were basically designed for LeMans would be the way to go. I like your line of thinking!

Would you stop please? I am getting sick and tired of your comments. You are like a broken record because you keep repeating the same old crap. Look, I completely and totally disagree with you and you are not going to sway my thinking. You have your opinion and I have mine. I want you to refrain from replying to me as…

Well, isn't that a nice kettle of fish? Gee, I wonder how F1 got to the point that it is at right now? Must be part of a master plan to eliminate all the races that made F1. For me, this would be like the NHL eliminating the Detroit, Red Wings, Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadians, Chicago Blackhawks…

Cletus? Like Dukes of Hazzard Cletus?

Sorry my friend, but you are wrong. I have read much about how all the computer geeks and simulations cost waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than real time testing. Your argument is feeble and based on false information. Please don't trot out the old "the wealthiest teams" argument either. Regardless of computer simulations or…

Ferrari N/A engines RIP. Long live the naturally aspirated Ferraris!

Oh c'mon, do you think that legions of programmers is any cheaper than unlimited testing? The super rich teams will exploit whatever advantage there is, whether with computers and simulations, or testing. And, Mercedes built a car around Lewis Hamilton basically and we saw the domination that happened in 2014. You are…

Umm, maybe you should direct your comments towards Stef. She is the one who reported this. Not sure why you are taking me to task over it. I was merely responding to her comments.

Patrick is one of us, and for that, I love him. As for the TRD Pro, it is a step in the right direction. I am crazy head over heels in love with the 4Runner TRD Pro in Inferno Orange. Now, if Toyota could do a little magic on the engine, we would have a suitable Raptor challenger.

The testing should be a constant and ongoing. Not that stupid mid-season deal. Basically, I am looking for a return to unlimited testing in lieu of 500 computer programmers doing simulations for each team. I have read much that says that the computer programming and modeling costs more than actual testing, which would…
