Re: Senna - Netflix series

I agree with James B, the Senna film was a bit bizarre in its Senna & Brazil against the world bias. It would be nice to see after thirty years a proper assessment of Ayrton. IHO he was a brilliant talent, but he corrupted the racers ethic with his thuggish on track antics. Had the FIA put the c...

Re: is this the end?

I agree that they should go. My concern is about that prospect of little bits of shattered carbon fiber littering the track, although punctures haven’t seemed to be a big problem yet, I suspect if the the aero devices continue to grow it will become a issue. This wouldn’t be the first time aero has ...

Re: Tyrrell 006 Monaco 1973

Absolutely breathtaking build, big congratulations! I always loved the 005-006 Tyrrell’s, I remember well watching the ‘73 Monaco GP on ABC’s Wide World of Sports. I had the good fortune to meet both Jackie and Francois at the 1971 & 72 Mid-Ohio Can-Am’s. The program’s they signed for me remain ...

Re: Tameo Kits Brabham bt45c Argentinian G.P. Niki Lauda

Very beautiful build, I have the kit and you have set the bar high!
I always loved the looks of BT45C even though it only raced twice. It was a bit of a stop-gap while Gordon Murray redesigned the BT46 once he realized the original surface cooler design, as pretty as it was, simply didn’t work.

Re: Villeneuve and Pironi Documentary

Happy New Year all! Watched it last night on YouTube (with the Eastern European subtitles?). I found it beautifully done, they interview everyone involved with Didier & Gilles and the archive footage is tremendous. For those of us who are old enough to remember that era it’s a must watch, and ev...

Re: Villeneuve and Pironi Documentary

Like a few others here, I don’t have Max, and will wait until it makes it to Blue Ray, DVD, etc., however I am very interested in seeing it. I remember watching GV in the halcyon days of the North American Formula Atlantic Championship back in the mid-seventies, the competition was fierce and the ta...

Re: 1/12 MFH January 2024

Hoping for the 1973 Peterson Monza winner also, been begging for a 1973 late season 72E for years. Sadly probably another red car with a black horse logo again…

Re: is there something more exciting to watch than MotoGP??

It was a great MotoGP season and Pecco is a deserving back to back champ. I love Jorge’s riding style, but he was just a little less consistent than Pecco, and that made the difference. I’ve followed F1 since I was seven (I’m sixty-one now) and it’s become almost unwatchable for me. I don’t know wha...

Re: Which is more likely to happen at the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix?

Oh trust me, I know all too well what a pain in the ass street races are for the locals. I used to go Motown for F1 when it was downtown, my in-laws are from Detroit, they're more than happy to describe what a pain that was.

Doesn’t stop them from having support races at Monaco.
