Mauricio Gugelmin. 80 grands prix. One fastest lap. Ivan Capelli’s team mate at March/Leyton House. And the most fun name to pronounce in F1 history. Slightly ahead of Teo Fabi.
Alessandro Nannini also trips off the tongue. So to speak.Ralf Schumacher. No, Ralf.
Alright, so I just moved within range of this GP (Syracuse, NY). Am I too late to get tickets? [Next year I could do this one and New Jersey without a plane ride. Woohoo!]
Mine, if you can see it, some don’t appear to show up, is from the cover of the electric car racing set I had as a kid. Not Scalextric. My friends all had real Scalextric, but not me. My cars didn’t work on their tracks. I was sad. I loved my set but it was a bit lonely. My son is getting Scalextric. Maybe this Christmas.
1) Comments on this site are great, welcoming and accepting of visitors and generally intelligent. Often informative. A couple of the suggested technical tweaks would be lovely but we’re managing fine as we are.
2) The thread that seems to have set this off is a fine example of over-interpretation of written text. Written text is low-bandwidth communication which leaves a lot of room to read between the lines. The same individuals chatting over a beer in a pub would probably be much less aggravated by each others’ opinions. In general, conspiracy theories, trolls and flame wars have always been a part of the internet. They can never be completely avoided, it would seem. But this site is a rare treasure where such things are kept to a tolerable minimum.
