Hi   Firstly, my apologies for being a bit negative yesterday, this week has not been one of my better weeks, three wet days at MIRA, a data logger that decided to go out of calibration and screw up a days testing, requiring  us to finish off today and finally, yesterday a coffee machine that would not produce coffee.   Still ...

anametoremember: justrace: This thread already started on a pretty low, but it has just hit rock bottom... Just NOT High at all... Only hit rock bottom because the person who lacks any type of friendly humour whatsoever and goes on a sulk when people does NOT see the things the way YOU see them. I mean for goodness sakes woman, why are you ...

Hi   It was just after 7.00am when I started to write this, and to help keep the peace I am NOT going to claim to be doing anything remotely exotic or exciting.   I am NOT sat with my laptop in a car with no heater It is NOT parked in the control tower car park at MIRA It is NOT raining I am NOT cold and wet I am NOT waiting for ...

mattw42: ex_lurker: I hate the way a safety car incident can spoil a racers strategy.  Why can’t there be a process where either electorally from race control or manually (within an allotted time) drivers engage their pit lane limiters or alternative speed to maintain the gap between divers?   I know later in a race when there are ...

asanator:It depends, if McL design another loose (oversteery like Lewis likes) car then Jens will struggle badly if they design a decent car, I think you may be right. Hi   It is almost certain that the car has been designed around LH (it should be 90% + finished by now.)   As Ferrari found with MS’s cars, loose is fast (if you can ...

franger: I marshalled all through the eighties and nineties and I would advise anyone with an interest to volunteer. Ok, so most of the venues you marshall in won't be that exotic but you will still have great fun. I marshalled at Ingleston, Knockhill, Doon Hillclimb and lots of local rallies, autotests and sprints.  Through this I was ...

r macaw: Hmm not sure I buy this story myself. Some of the info is erroneous and not factual. The timeline is not exactly reading true and does not fit in with the pictures. Some of the comments seem a little far fetched and others on reflextion unlikely.   Fact the bridge over the start finish straight does not lead you into the ...

Hi   Give it a go it is great fun, I have been a member for 30years (hence the “My friends in the British Motor Racing Marshals Club”)   Don’t get to marshal much these days, but am still a member, and do a few rallies in the winter.   And yes it is hard work in all weathers and most of it is very un glamorous, but very ...

Hi   Want to watch motor racing for free.   My friends in the British Motor Racing Marshals Club (BMRMC) are looking for volunteers to be race marshals.   It is a chance to get involved at the sharp end of racing   They provide world renowned training at all levels, that allows you to qualify to work ...

mattw42: pedekay: mattw42: champalonso:lol how about Bertie Breadstick? If he does race with that name, then he should be made to wear a beret, black and white striped jersey, and have a string of onions round his neck. LOLOL  Bertie Breadstick, very good champ. But the poor guy is Belgian, not French.  Berets and onions, ...
