  1. I espeically liked the rich and hairstlye comments but yeah I agree! Oh yeah I know, I'd personally rahter watch this, sadly, we will never see racing like THIS again. You send me to a Vintage racing event and i'll have probably more fun than a new event, other than Spa, Singapore, Nurb, Monza....ok all the tracks but still!
  2. I still can't wait for it... How different has BTCC changed over the years?
  3. this is for you guys, I agree with everything! what happened, Hamilton needs to learn from this!!
  4. Yeah and that's why I love it, look at the control. But the other thing is teamates could compete against each other and it wasn't such a big deal, that Audi at the end, he still went on racing, no penalties for cutting and other BS, just kept on racing, look at the Volvo passing the Renault, same deal, real racing, real drivers and that's why I love it! I want to move to the UK That is wicked! That man could drive and I'd love to take a Contour (Mondeo) and make it into one over here. You are lucky you live in the UK with all them great series..or Europe for that matter!
  5. yeah really! here's another video for you guys, my favorite show! check out that Alfa!
  6. This is pretty sweet looking, love the engine and it looks different without the new aerodynamic package and those stupid wheel covers.
  7. Never heard fo that series....I bet it was good though! Carro, oh yeah I'm with ya and yes, I have a 360 and I love that game, beat it about 4 times with different ways to beat it and still not being able to buy the Porsche GT3 RSR No I know, but they are still replaying them on Speed, I know shock, but there is one on Saturday. I love all those endurance races and I can't wait for Petit. I can watch the trucks, that it, at Talledega, but that's it, they should have them race on roadcourses. And as for the being like GTR2, yes, same developer and Henrik Roos said it is basically RACE and GTR2 combined and ONLY for the 360, just combine them two, and for the console...booya!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-X4-ZYlliQ...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPSzwySodPw...feature=related Supposedly going to be crazy good and I heard over 300 some cars in 12 different classes or something like that, all I know is that there are lots of cars. They had some games with F1, like TOCA 2 and it was hella fun and with GRID, you get the Dallara Formula 3 and the FJ 1000, it still makes me mad that the Penske Porsche and the Risi Ferrari were SUPPOSED to be in it, as it was in the preview but they aren't, just stupid Lizards!
  8. I want MiniLite shape sunflowers too! Are they hot weather plants, if so then maybe not...
  9. Oh ######....no Chris is the Porsche freak, i'm the Ferrari freak! wha... ok, it MIGHT be a while Bob, yeah except I better not see anyone changing the positions around! I also would love some GOOD BBS's
  10. Oh dear god eat your heart out Lizards! Man, I still look back at the Youtube video and I still love it, now that's what I call sports car racing! I still think it was fair. That was your first time? '07? man you are lucky. Does that NOT look like the stock engine? So they have the ALMS and the LeMans versions, cool, now all I need is the Petit and Redbull one. I get to represent Forza 2 now and my Risi boys. You beat me to the ordering though, which I figured you would but I am soon! can't wait for the progress pics and I am watching you on this one. This looks so great actually. I am surprised how detailed the engine looks. Great pictures, both you guys.
  11. Dale, good memories, yeah we had all the cheats for the lava track and the cars, gotta love racing the pink cadillac! My dad even had the setups for dry, wet, and intermediate for all cars, we were hardcore with that game! As of now, I just have to wait for SimBin's RacePro Come on Chris, you think I forgot about those guys, I watch their races online and on youtube and try to get all the info and schedule for the seasons, heck yeah! Grand Am for life! They still do show the races on Speed and I still remember Speed's attempt to do the 6 hour at Bathurst, horrible, everything was pushed into 2 hours, but still very exciting! Heck yeah Dave! but let me ask you this, do you know why your probably asking that question? It is becuase NO ONE knows or hears about it over hear unless you are like the purists, like me who visit the site and watch online coverage and read about it and stuff like that. DTM is still awsome though but I agree with you on the whole SpeedNascarFox channel, Speedvision comment, old REAL NASCAR footage, and the burned out washed up drivers, and with WRC, no, another stupid mistake, like some of the manufacturs dropping out, alot of viewers there! JTCC, Japan's forgotten racing series, that was good though but it basically was taken over by JGTC which is now SuperGT and there is a channel that does coverage of every race other than MotorsTV, which I want to get SO BAD my buddy was telling me about it but I forget. I am actually finishing up a JTCC Accord. That didn't last long with the '98 season being the last. http://www.auto-otaku.com/home/2007/11/jtcc-japans-for.html
  12. Now I like those flames!
  13. man, I do not want to watch the race with you guys! ok, MAYBE you Chris...
  14. oh man me too! Those are my favorites! I love my rally too. No, trust me, I know about SPEED World Challenge and Touring cars, but you never hear or see about that. I only see about it and get the schedule in Grassroots Motorsports and Sportcar, that's it. I'm lucky I have a schedule, it came with my one issue of Sport Compact Car, I can't wait for the race this Saturday. The GT cars is what everybody loves but Touring cars has the racing part down but it's like what you said, it is not THAT popular.... Sponsership is hard and with SCCA's series for Mazdas, yeah, it is huge I guess i'll be the only one, with some others on here, who likes these racing series and want to watch them but can't because I don't live in Europe, all you guys on here that are in Europe and new Zealand and Australia, you are lucky and shouldn't complain about the racing you guys have over there. Anyone else?
  15. Nice George, that's my boy! I don't either especially since on the quote above. But I do love dirt racing. But like you said, that's Speed's problem is that they drop them for stupid reasons or on late night. Look at Victory by Design, whatever happened to that? They have so many useless shows that Speed is trying to give an attempt to but dang come on here, it is a MOTORSPORTS channel. DTM, BTCC, WTCC, V8 Supercar season is soon starting and I know, I'll watch them or tape them but they really need better airtimes, they would definetly get more viewers, even a couple on here. I'm surprised they are doing coverage of the Runoffs this year but even with that, they are showing little amounts of the classes. http://www.speedtv.com/schedule/filter/program/821353 http://nascar.speedtv.com/forums/viewthread/83195/#1412940 http://www.dtm.com/newsausgabe.php?id=6945 I know we have brought this channel up, some of you know about it but supposedly it is in it's final stages, now when can I get this???? http://jimsgarage.wordpress.com/2007/07/31...ork-its-coming/
  16. That is pretty sweet, I'd love to do a model of one of those...
  17. Why can't we have a series? I know we had North American Touring Cars but why not bring it back? I mean the BTCC has some of, if not THE best racing out there, along with DTM and other Touring Car series, actual production cars actually battling it out. "In this, it shares some similarity with the American stock car racing (governed by NASCAR); however, touring cars are actually derived from production cars while NASCAR vehicles are custom built (although in the early days of NASCAR, stock cars were in fact built from production cars, much like current day touring cars.)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touring_car_racing anyone else used to watch Touring Cars or had the TOCA computer game, like I did.....man I miss that or actually race with series? We need racing like THIS nowadays, I mean, this wasn't too long ago and the BTCC and DTM still retain to their roots and still run hard, now why not America? at the 1:45 mark, that is awsome how they raced Corollas and Golfs! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnRP5B79wB4...feature=related Some of the best, have more but thought these were best representation this video is my FAVORITE. The driving and in the rain footage is incredible! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-R665bquMg...feature=related
  18. "FIA has been pretty clear as where they stand on Ferrari, and you can't discount it because if you do Ferrari will be lost from F1. Ferrair has been there since it's inseption." yeah, I mean come on people! I agree, shouldn't you have something to back that up? Hey, McLaren has money right? BRUCE? man, I bet he is turning in his grave, we have to talk to Ron I guess I look forward also YAY! http://blogs.iht.com/tribtalk/sports/f1/?p=504 extra info Oh man I can't wait for Friday to start! I still hear that people in Malaysia are worried for the race and there are some people that don't want the roar in Singapore what, who doesn't love the sound?
  19. nice one and thanks Dub it is a pretty engine and yes I bet it does have symphonic cacophony
  20. Well, as you know, I love this. A huge rally fan and of Colin, he really was a pioneer of rally and he really set Subaru on the map with this car and his personal 22B is insane. I just love this car, EVERYTHING about is beautiful. After his performance with Prodrive and the 550 GTS Maranello at the 2004 24 Hours of Lemans he truly was my all time racing and all time hero RIP, YOU ARE MISSED COLIN MCRAE along with the other rally greats, greatest rally driver of all time is right, along with Ari, Walter, Henri, Carlos, Tommi etc. I love your work and your paint/decals are flawless and you followed instructions, I heard of that I'm a sucker for blue Subarus and rally cars, man I want to build a rally car now....wait, I am
  21. I still say do it this way, maybe i'll do one like the Chevy they featured in the Grassroots motorsports.
  22. ok Dub, I think it's time
  23. yup I do too and yes Chris I agree. It's just like what you said though, damned if they do and damned if they don't, they can't keep everyone happy but come on be senseful here!! I say he is going to hurt himself or cause damage to others and I don't want to see it at Singapore. The people think that with Ferrari is becasue they have been with them for how long? Thanks for updating
