......what they think of this last season of F1, not as a comment, but a post............Some topics.......Was the whole of Stepney gate a clever piece of manipulation by Ferrari?........Are you over the hill as an F1 driver after 30?............should the aero be dumped?... Are the penalties handed out in F1 even handed?, Iremind you of the observer in the Mclaren pit in Sao Paolo.............Is it racing>>>>>?..........The vast amounts of money, in F1, compared to other areas of Motorsport, is there corruption???..... post under the banner`someone told me...'
let`s see how long the thread can last............Yea Baby!!

Wanted to be the first!
To post a video on the Blog. This Advert would be loved by any motorsport fan! (Of more than 5 years)
Enjoy!
WHAT AM I TOO DO???????????
My boyfriend to be, is leaving the Country. What am I too do???
Switzerland of all places. Typical. Men!
How do you get Skegness and Switzerland so mixed up?
Somebody told me............
That you can`t giggle, and drive a kart in the wet, they were absolutely right.......but you can have the biggest bloody grin on your face!!!!.....................If I spun once, again, and again, and again................it was fun, not good for championship aspirations, but tremendous fun nonethless.
The Speedychick was unlucky with the weather, as it effectively needs retirements in the final round for a podium..... Speedy just beats the steering in frustration, as , with a big grin on his face, he sails past the captain toward the first hairpin, and....................carries on sailing...
the captain had the exalted position of first for about 3laps, and then wilted under pressure!!!...gradually dropping down the order.... the Beard, who was not looking forward to a wet race, as it was his 1st visit to pfi, ended up having a ball.....
The second race was much like the first, although it had stopped raining, but more, if possible, slippery than before!!
Post race, it was good to see so many smiling faces, had a moment with someone who thought leaning into me would be intimidating, as if , I explained , `I was in control.......'
On a final note, as I won`t be available for transport to the final, you guys should think of getting organised, Stallion take note...............Yea Baby!!!!!

I love the `someone told me' theme, however, the day has arrived , so the topic has to change, all new ideas are welcome. Just had a ball in the new karts at ppik, slow, but sooooo new, me`n' Speedy doing parallel turns lap, after lap, until the other 18 players got in the way, coool!!

The dream of running your own F1 team!
I was thinking with it being the end of the season, how cool would it be to have and run your own F1 team, just like Jackie Stewart and Eddie Jordan. It is only when you start looking at this side that you realise that F1 is pure and simply only a business. The excitement and adrenaline that makes it a sport is bit a side and finical decisions are made.Main Point to you all is; 'Super Aguri has posted a £4.5 million loss in first year'.
How does a company consume that loss?? Super Aguri is one of the smallest teams, it has fewer than 100 staff - compare that to Ferrari with 1,000 on payroll! How can you pos
sibly compete? How long have Toyota now been in F1? They even took a year before they entered while they were testing the car. They have one of the biggest budgets but where are the results I ask??? (Personally if I was running the team I wouldn't have had Schumacher - what an underachievement, living in the shadows of a highly successful brother - he really had no chance).So I write this blog to ask others to post their views and feelings on running an F1 team. What would you change if you could?
To start it off – I would change;-
1. Would have got rid of R Schumacher out of Toyota.
2. Would have got rid of crappy Fischella out of Renault.
3. Give Anthony Davison a better car – what a cracking job he has done for Super Aguri this season. Please someone give him a chance next season.
Home Again !:!:!
Im having a quick break from riding horses, looking after BrickHanger (who at present is not feeling well), the all important cleaning of state kit and of course the dreaded and hated Jack Boots!
In my 36 or so hours of freedom i will be of course be at PPIK on the saturday and then resume normal service of beeing up at the crack of dawn to head down to PFI with my faithful team-mate the Cpt.
Once again we shall do battle with the locals and regulars of the circuit, but we shall be joined by the good man "J" as he shall bve known till we get a proper alias for him ;-).
It should be another thrilling fight, especially as the weather seems that it may suit ducks wearing rain-coats rather than 20+ mad heads who like going very fast in un-driveable conditions. Fun and Joy for Me because as soon as i finnish and dry off a little bit shall be briskly back to London in preperation for the upcoming Escort of King Abdula (????) and the Royal Banquet of which i shall be a part of as the staircase party. Joy
I tried to post an image of my faithful steed but as im in transit as i write this, my internet is not fast enough. Ill try once i get a better connection.

Russ's Headcam
Russ's headcam is an Oregon Scientific "Action Camera". He got his from Ideal World TV but I just checked out Amazon and there about £80. Pretty smart. Especially for putting info on web blogs.

Post etiquette
This dialogue is great, keep it up !!!, However, lets have it in english for the non-text audience amongst us, yes???
Monty, I see is stirring the pot, which is poor grace after getting his slice of cake, and eating it!
Just a thought, was it not a signed, and contracted Ferrari man who stepped over the line in the first place? Have the punishments handed out, this year, been more draconian than before? Don`t forget when a sport becomes popular because of its off-track dramas, rather than the sport, who loses most??? me, the fan!!!!!!!!

How can he say it??!!
"In the end sport's justice prevailed." mr montezemolo
I dont understand how the owner of a team such as ferrari can even contemplate saying such a thing like this when his team was 100% involved in the spy scandal. And when his team is constantly battering the FIA with complaints about Mclaren.
Mclaren has been like a boat trying to sail through solid ice to win the fight for the championship. Theyve had un-relenting media preasure, FIA bombardments, Ferrari, the (spanish self-indulgent twat) alonso, the loss of the certain manufacturers title, the fight to gain sponsorship and the struggle to keep its identity intact.
Mclaren is run not just as a Motorracing outfit but also as a buissness that needs to uphold a reputation as being one of the well run and established bussnesses in the world.
This was a post to display my utter anger and frustration of this last F1 season

PPIK
It`s official, the new Karts are in use at Ppik, it`s early days so we can`t expect too much, however, I`m hoping to have a practice sometime this week. Anyone up for joining me give me a call. A day or two will be required to shake them down, but for a while at least they will perform equally, a good opportunity to see where we`re at in terms of lap times............
Saturday night, last, I ran with an iron man, had what was the best kart in a while............best lap, 41.3, a full second faster than thursday night!! well done to John the manager for working on the tuning!! yea baby!!

Motorsport
The F1 season is about to end, no doubt, in an acrimonious way, which will generate more publicity, and draw even more sponsorship `cos even bad news generates money!!! It would appear that even at the last minute attempts are being made to put spanners in Mclarens collective works, how many spurious regulations are they going to drag up before the start of the race, is someone going to steal Alonso`s lollipop, or Kimi`s favourite `ignorant' tune, causing them to cry `foul' as they fail to live up to the their expectations??????
It would be great , if, historically, Ferrari were whiter than white, but they`re not, never have been, never will be, it was Englishmen, not Italians who moulded what was a dysfunctional team, with a plutocrat at it`s head, into the uber team you see now, but several of the key Englishmen have moved on, and now Ferrari, have dropped back into the dirty air, ironically with the help of Englishmen, and this will not go away. Next season , despite what happens today, will begin with the endless discussions, on `being gifted the championship' or` back stabbin` Alonso'...................who no doubt will be in the arms of Don papa Flavio, bottom lip on the floor, everytime his teamate pisses on his chips!!! the acrimony will continue, all next season. Some of the swords drawn this season will be sharpened, people who were cordial before will be bitchin`, the name calling will be loud, long...... I`m thinking of Mosley, Stuart, Montelezumo, all people who feel their words are more valid..........................enough! I depress myself, thank god for moto gp, world superbikes, and obvious prima donnas like, Biaggi, Bayliss, Rossi, all soon to retire, alas, for these guys at least have a little character.............. Bernie Ecclestone will, if it were possible, have reaped even greater rewards, both financially, and publically, for what has become his life`s work, P T Barnum, was from the 19th century, and he was an uber showman, Bernie is the 21st century equivalent!!!!!

Formula 1 !!!
The whole of the formula 1 season comes down to 1 race. The Brazilian grand prix at Interlagos. The title can be won by 1 of 3 drivers, Kimi, Alonso and the favourite Lewis Hamilton. Kimi has nothing to loose so we can presume he’s going to go hell for leather for the win. However Hamilton and Alonso can both win without divine intervention as a necessity for the victory of the world championship. All we can hope is that it’s an interesting race and not a procession from pole position to the finish line.
Which one of these men will become world champion?
(If all goes well it could be Kimi.)

Sunday 100@PFI
A beautiful autumn day, a willing trio of racers, the yellow peril, speedichick, supported by the captain, a decent kart, and some stiff competition! The recipe was hot, with strong ingredients, spiced up by a dry track, and pole position. The lead see-sawed between the top three teams, we had the largest team, but coupled to an inspired strategy, we regained first toward the end, and at the chequered flag we had it by 11 seconds. A good effort by the slickegos, and well done team!!!

New Karts at PPIK
Guys the new karts have arrived!!! We are all familiar with the Buckmore sodi kart layout, well Pole has opted for the same, sad to say, with a weedier engine, 200cc Honda with an undetermined amount of horses! Astonishment!!! A Kart I, can fit without huge inserts, obviously the designer, is a man who apreciates, that compact means quality!! Pics to follow.

Shanghai, and Toseland
Another great (read wet) race in the F1 championship, The Farce which is the constructors championship, behind us, (If Ferrari actually call this a win for them it beggars belief) it gets down to the racers, and just as the most astonishing rookie(a horrible americanism) in the history of F1, is poised to take the championship, Mclaren the team, FxxxK it up for him, bigstyle!!!!! Hamilton will probably in the course of events will see it as a bit of bad luck, but to motor racing fans, it only increases the anticipation for the next event, as we get a three way battle, surely these guys will RACE , for the title, perhaps overcoming the logical way of racing F1 cars, and trying something wild, and entertaining!!!! (personally, it would be much more fun if Hamilton fails this year, and attacks next year with increased vigour, bring it on!!!)
Toseland you drive me crazy!!!!! Again you have pole, 1st race again you get tagged, Why did you have to make it so agonising..............Thanks, great to watch.
2nd race, yes, you did`nt have to win, just keep out of trouble, finish in the top 10, which, thankfully you did, well done to James, 2nd World Superbike Championship to his career, I love races like these, where the commentators lose it, and the tension is really high!!!!!!!!
Andy Priaulx.......... Bad luck has certainly singled him out.......... no points at Monza....... Yvan Muller tied on points.............. Macau......... the crazy circuit......... who has the least success ballast??? Rear wheel, front wheel drive...........petrol...... Deisel..............Showdown.
One of the great races of the world, The Bathurst was run this weekend, a fantastic road race, between gas guzzlin` V8`s, if you`ve never seen it...........watch the re-runs this winter!!!!
Yea Baby!!!

Fuji, and Toseland
What a fun race the GP was from Fuji full of incident, and bravery(some would call it foolhardy, fxxk`em) Alonso making mistakes he can ill afford................, Heiki making Kimi work for it.............., Vettel upsetting the Aussie....................... the director must have had a dislocated neck trying to figure it out!! this is what racing could be like if they binned most of the aero, and we`d all be sat there with `did you see.......' or `look at that..... ' Come on Mosely make them have it!!!!!
Toseland is so Frustrating.............. Falls off during his pole lap, falls off in race 2, still manages to grab some points for 11th, 4th in race 1, what a guy!! If this guy does`nt win this championship I will be so pissed, i`m sure he will, but there are days.........................When he gets to motogp, next year, I am really hoping that he gets a good bike, a good team, with a good budget, but most of all, I hope he does better than the Aussie, Bayliss!!!!!!!!

Bit of Buckmore
Due to the tardiness of Speedy gaining an internet connection we have few photos of the racing at Buckmore Park, so the message there is everybody bring a camera!! My own camera hardly saw the light of day, so apologies for that. We are officially in the wet season, and the outdoor racing will be full of fun, as we slither around the track at PFI, but what would it be like on the bottom bend at Buckmore?????or the approach!!! If we can raise enough interest to have a go at the six hour races, I heard the race director say that rain is allways a possibility at Buckmore, so bring it on!!
The dates at Pfi to take note of are; 14th Oct, Sun 100, one team booked, allways a possibility of dropouts if anyone wants to risk the journey; 28th Oct regular Iron man event; 25th Nov regular Iron man event; 9th Dec Sun 100, one team booked, anyone else ready to commit, contact the captain, or Pfi direct; 23rd Dec, fun Iron man, cool way to begin xmas!! The captain is booked, if you want a space, book early!
Had my karting fix last week in a couple of iron man 40`s, no bruises, definitely some new recruits, and despite poor lap times, very enjoyable. Rumours abound at PPIK about the imminent arrival of new petrol karts, only 200cc, but geared correctly, we should see some sub-40 sec laps again, Yea Baby!! I will of course, keep you all informed how the test session goes...................................
