F1 Fanatic

Maybe the track choice is not optimal, but I like some of the longer circuits on the calendar (ie. Monza,Hungaroring). I think if they increase the amount of laps, we could have more overtakes, differing […]

@keithcollantine – I wouldn’t object to a BTCC on the Nordschleife, (I feel BTCC is more entertaining than the WTCC). I mean come on, DTM race at Brands Hatch!

@robk23 Indeed – one of the good things about Salzburgring was the sub-90s laps.

That said I wouldn’t object to a WTCC race on the Nordschleife…

It’s not only the amount of laps, it’s the tracks. For a fan sitting in the grandstands it doesn’t feel like a world championship when the car only goes past 12 times at 2 minute+ intervals. The laps need to be […]

@bag0 I couldn’t agree more about race length, it’s laughable to have a series calling itself a world championship having races as short as this.

Im sad to say this, but they got what they deserved. Everyone knows they are years ahead of any team in development, engine power, resources, and yet, they have the same amount of ballast as the BMWs and SEATs. […]

@bradley13 I did!

I’ve been looking everywhere for this video. Thanks @keithcollantine.
However:

despite Muller and MacDowell coming to a stop on the outside of a fast corner

Do you mean, ’despite Menu and MacDowall’?

I think every GP could have fullhouse, if they made the tickets cheaper. Last year, the WTCC weekend was free, this year a ticket for the whole weekend was about $15 (paddock: +$15/day)

Is there any other race of the calendar where the attendance and enthusiasm of the fans is the same as in Hungary, I suppose Italy is very similar. There is the slight issue in that only 10 drivers on the grid […]

Well, from my point of view (as a hungarian), the first race was good too. If Menu did not toch Norbi at the first corner, he would have turned P3-4 and he had the pace to stay ahead of everyone except the chevys. […]

@keithcollantine – Agreed, that was something else. The reaction of the fans was, so enjoyable to watch. It was incredible. Racing was dull as anything though, unfortunately.

The first race in Hungary was pretty forgettable – Michelisz winning was the only really remarkable thing about the second one. That was a cracker of a start from fifth on the grid! It’ll be a while before we see […]

Just updated the list:

* Accounts of Andrea Barlesi, Fernando Monje, Charles Ng and Isaac Tutumlu added.
* Some accounts are moved from ‘Current drivers’ category to the ‘Former drivers’ one and vice […]

Nice! And Tiago Monteiro’s started following today as well. Clearly WTCC drivers have excellent taste in F1 websites :-)
