It's working now, but I'm telling you it was on private.Hughesy said:
It's not though................. And I tested this by not being logged in so no idea why you can't view it.fIsince08 said:
It definitely is set to private...Hughesy said:What my video? Shouldn't be....
Edit: Just checked and it isn't set to private. ;) Yea it was awesome, the best live event I have been to (Better than going to watch Yeovil at Wembley when we got promoted to the Championship) So much so I've seriously thought about going to the last round at Brands Hatch.

There's also been some rule changes for next season confirmed:- Any driver that causes an aborted start will be forced to start from the pitlane, regardless of whether they can then take the second start or not
- Drivers must make "every reasonable effort to use the track at all times and may not leave the track without a justifiable reason". Penalties will still be applied
- All cars will have a separate wastegate tailpipe to increase the noise without effecting efficiency

Technically, Dallara are building the chassis, not Haas.VetteIfan said:
It's difficult to say how Haas are going to do. New teams don't have a good recent history in F1, but the way they're going about it makes a lot more sense than the way Caterham/Marrusia/HRT approached it. The only thing Haas are actually designing themselves is the chassis/aero and bodywork. Their power unit, gearbox, front suspension, rear suspension, hydraulics, electronics, steering, brake ducts, fuel tank etc is all straight from Ferrari.AMS97KRR said:Grosjean at Haas then. I hope they do well for his sake.
Admittedly for the new teams of 2010, at the time they weren't able to buy all this stuff straight from other teams due to the regulations, but what it means for Haas is they can streamline their effort on to designing the main performance differentiating parts of the car.
However, this move is more about a future move to Ferrari than the immediate move to Haas for Grosjean. I only just realised earlier while reading an article that Grosjean is 29. I couldn't quite believe it, I had to refresh the page to make sure of what was reading. He's not a young driver anymore, his career has stalled at Lotus and he needed to do something new to try and get to the top. He's more likely to get recognised in the Ferrari B-team (as it were) and if he goes against someone like Gutierrez or Vergne, Ferrari know what those guys can do from being a sim driver, so it helps them make a more informed decision on whether they think Grosjean is good enough for the Scuderia. -
Is that red double decker the one with the bar? I saw that at the GP. -
I think Vergne could end up at Renault.MBKF1 said:Apparently the second hASS driver will be one of the Ferrari reserves, so that means Gutierrez or Vergne.
I sure do hope it's Vergne, he did as well as Kvyat, no doubt, and it's such a shame he wasn't on the grid this year. Gutierrez never really did anything to impress, never had any stand out performances. -
No it won't. Teams come and go, always have and always will. Like him or not, Bernie Ecclestone is a very clever man and won't let the sport collapse, albeit for the wrong reasons.Wynterdust said:F1 has to do everything it can to keep all the current teams going as well as try to attract new teams and manufacturers which with the current regulations is clearly not working. Like them or not, losing Red Bull could well be the beginning of the end of F1. Costs have to be capped while at the same time allowing a freedom on in season development. No one is going to want to join in just to be at the back of the grid every year. -
But Renault may well be towards the end of the season.Hughesy said:
Haas aren't going to be a big draw for spectators like Red Bull are though, and they probably won't be fighting for wins....fIsince08 said:
But with Haas coming next season we effectively only lose two.Hughesy said:
I don't, we would lose 4 cars then and F1 would be in trouble....fIsince08 said:I hope Red Bull pull out. I'm sick to death of their constant whining. Whilst we'd lose two or four excellent drivers from the grid, and go down to 18 cars, I don't care. I'm sure a buyer could be found for at least one of the teams. If I was Marchionne I'd withdraw the offer instantly after that. -
I've finally had a chance to do another race on Grand Prix World. I was up to Italy, where a one-two in wet qualifying was translated into a five-two finish. I've completed another two sponsorship deals, meaning that in the last two races I only have to seal one more until I have a full package. Next up: Luxembourg. -

Ah, an enclosed grandstand would amplify the noise. That'd hurt! -
I think the BTCC cars are equally as loud if not louder than F1 cars.Hughesy said:Yea I'm not one to give up, I really hate making a fuss so I just power through. I'll pay for it tomorrow and will probably be stuck in bed, but it was so worth it! Man those cars are noisy, I was not prepared for that, I can't think what else you could get for £25 for over 6 hours of racing. Hamilton did well in race 2 considering the whack he took. We saw the car on a truck afterwards, the rear end was wrecked, so I'm not sure how he finished. It was right in from of us in the paddock yet both of us didn't think to take a pic. Lots to post tomorrow, I'm having a well deserved beer and watching the F1 B)
Ps: You were awesome as well bud. I know we have talked on here for years and played online together, but it felt like we had been friends for years. Thanks for the energy drinks and sandwich, and the chocolate bar ;) -
Fair point, maybe Sauber and Manor would only run two.RevolvingPrawn said:
Looks good, but I could see Merc putting Wehrlein into one of there cars instead of signing Alonso.fIsince08 said:If Red Bull pull out, what are your three car teams predictions?
Merc: HAM, ROS, ALO
Ferrari: VET, RAI, RIC
Williams: MAS, BOT, KVY
Force India: HUL, PER, VES
Renault: VER, MAL, SAI
Sauber: ERI, NAS, $$$
McLaren: BUT, MAG, VAN
Manor: STE, RSI, WEH
Haas: GRO, GUT, MAR
Also not all teams would run 3 cars ;) Your line up would add up to 27 cars, one more than what's considered a full F1 grid.
@Vettelfan I can't see the point in running a rookie car, you can only be a rookie for one season and what happens after that? -
If you can manage it, do try and at least do the pit walk. At Silverstone though it could be awkward getting into the pit lane.Hughesy said: -
Make sure you do get there early to get the pitlane walk done and go to the motorhomes, at Croft I got some freebies and a picture with Anthony Hamilton.Hughesy said:Silverstone tomorrow with @RevolvingPrawn It's going to be awesome! -

Right guys, I've managed to get the Singapore results up and you can tell it was an interesting race... -

Boo, that sucks, would have been nice to meet more forum members. Really excited though, this is my first BTCC race :)MBKF1 said:Oh yeah about Silverstone @RevolvingPrawn and @Hughesy unfortunately I don't think I'm gonna be going now. The guy I was gonna go with now can't make it :/ -

Not suprised we lost yesterday, but there were some dodgy decisions. I need to see the penalty from another angle because I'm not convinced by it. Borini scored a perfectly valid equaliser, but Roger East ruled it out for a "foul" on the defender. He made some shocking decisions, but once again it was the midfield/defence that let us down. Cattermole, Borini and Yedlin showed great class yesterday.
Rewatched the penalty and it was outside the box, regardless of whether it was a foul or not.
And we had to brats run on the pitch. Our stewards are useless, rugby tackles didn't work.
