    70% off sale at the Lotus store in Regent Street. A sign of things to come?

    8 months inside for going onto Brands Hatch in the middle of a race.

    What an absolute tool.


    Max Chilton is also up next for impersonating a racing driver for the last 2 years...........

    The Hamilton's really are designing F1 cars now!!

    It's kind of a nice idea, but don't think it's that necessary

    I think it's an absolutely stupid idea, another gimmick.

    The cars are going too quick for the people in the grandstands to see them and the people on tv get all the info proposed and a lot more.

    The only benefit i can see in it is to make David Crofty(y) look like an even bigger idiot who has no clue what the hell is going on, even with the info twice on one screen (and a lot more in the com box)

    WEC spoilers:

    [NSFW]Webber's just had an almighty accident in WEC, utterly obliterated his car. Was removed from the scene on a backboard and in a neck brace, but was conscious and waving to the crowd.

    exactly, to relay all that information to a crowd as you're going past at 150-200mph it's going to have to be ****ing huge, surely it would be easier to put it on the big screen in front of the grandstands, and those at home can press the red button. Seems a case of the usual Hamilton arse licking.

    Just seen the Webber crash. Kind of reminds me of Alonso's smash on that wall. Seems Mark can't catch a break anywhere. I hope he is ok

    Glad to see Mark is okay- that was a big one. Goodness me. Thankfully he seems okay.

    Pre-war Grand Prix racing can seem like a world apart from Grand Prix racing as we know it today, but photographer Jan Rambousek has brought the past to life with these amazing images produced to celebrate 80 years of the legendary Mercedes W25 - the original Silver Arrow. Using old photographs, films and text from the time, Jan and creative director Tomas Kopecny wanted to produce images which look as authentic as possible. Using the kind of resources usually reserved for film production, hundreds of extras and teams of CGI artists helped make their vision a reality. The finished images look fantastic &#8211; sometimes you have to do a double take to realise that they aren&#8217;t actually real. They&#8217;ve been on display at various events, including this years Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the atmosphere of the whole event provided the perfect backdrop for the pictures.

    I imagine there is a black market for the trophies, even if they are replica's, but anyone trying to sell them openly will get caught pretty quickly. It's not like they're trying to flog a load of generic TV's they nicked after ram-raiding a branch of Currys.
