Oh well, now I recall when I was in college, I still vividly remember my framed poster of the 6-wheeled Tyrrell P34 which started to race in the 1976 season, proved to be very competitive and other teams made their own versions of it until Formula 1 ruled only a total of 4 wheels are allowed.
In fact, Scheckter and Depailler finished first and second in the Swedish Grand Prix!
Have you bought a combined ticket (one day ticket incl. transport)? Or do you go by car and even have a bit of extra time to spend. In the latter case I suggest you visit the Museum of the Circuit, located at (the cellars of) the Abbey of Stavelot.
I miss the days of screaming loud V10’s and V8’s. Have a little harder time getting into these hybrid electric hi-tech cars. Hopefully F1 is not headed in the Formula E direction.
Count me in.
Dedicated Kubica fan. Unfortunately, a huge talent with little luck. I wish Kubica was given a chance in a competitive car. Now he says he knows the aim, but there’s nobody to race against. (All other cars are in different league)
I might watch a race if I see on on the telly, but not a fan. F1 seems to all about regulations, tire management and strategy rather than pure driving. I know it’s those very things that make it interesting for many, but me, I’m too dumb for that stuff, I just like speed so I’m much more into WRC. Those guys are just crazy heading into blind corners at those speeds based purely on what the co-driver is saying.
Your point was easy to predict Mike C. Sweden seems to be way more successful in rallies than in F1 (so is Poland). But your natural environment allows you to practice drifting with every ride for shopping
Clarkson was even laughing that Swedish housemaids are drifting on snow when going to grocery shop :smiling_imp:
I guess that’s true… But I do have a Swedish colleague that watches F1 on two different TVs at the same time for better coverage while sitting with a laptop receiving live lap time updates, so I guess there is always the exception
I remember the 2007 New Zealand rally: 18 stages, 330 km, and Gronholm wins over Loeb with a 0.3 second margin. I’ve never been anywhere near as close to the edge of my seat when watching F1.
