    I used to watch F1 back during the michael schumacher days. Now I rarely watch racing. Seems like I'm always working too damn much these days.

    Really??? Wow I really haven't been keeping up with the sport.

    Other than F1 I also used to catch the highlights of WRC. Takes guts to run those really courses.

    I really need to start watching some racing again. Seems like all I want to do when not at work now is sleep. Lol

    I love F1...waiting for the new track in Texas to open up so I can buy my tickets for the 2012 US GP. Michael was the man back in the day, but his come back hasn't been so glorious. I think he's just bored and didn't know what else to do.

    what part of korea? i lived in seoul (sp?) for a year, near a place called E Tae Won (spelled phonetically). Ever been? There was this place by Walker Hill that we hung out called the "Silver Wave". It was a basement bar. Was just curious if it was still there. Probably not.

    The race was in Korea last night, not sure if he lives there. Vettle killed it last night.

    If I'm not mistaken - Austin.
    Could be wrong but either way I'll be going to their first race without question.
    As long as I can get off work of course.

    Yup, Austin it is. I live in San Antonio so that would be a short drive for me. I definitely need to go next year.

    Vettle is a serious driver I saw him win his first race in Monza in very difficult conditions I was with my old man at the race and turned to him and said he would be a champion in the next two years and he was the man is epic behind the wheel. Look at the difference between him and Mark Webber, and Mark Webber certainly aint a bad race driver.

    I can't stand Hamilton, but I do feel sorry for the ****er at the mo he seems to be going off the rails slowly Which is not a nice thing for anyone.

    Webber can drive! I can't wait to see what this other rookie - Perez can do. If he can get into one of the bigger constructors cars then I think he can play with the big dogs. even now he seems to be holding his own.

    That's 10 for seb this year. he's close to Mansfields record from the 90's for wins, almost had the quali record too but hamilton put a stop to that this past weekend.

    I know Webber can drive haha sure I said it. That's what I mean though, Webber is a great driver and look at how much further ahead Seb is incomparison. I like Red Bull they gave F1 the injection it needed it was getting miles too corporate before they came and really changed the whole game imo. You see big teams like Mclaren etc opening up more whereas under Ron Dennis they never really allowed the drivers to say what they wanted etc. I'd love to work for Red Bull as a company they seem to be a great company in general.

    Perez seems good all right but he is a bit young at the mo and will take time to mature into his driving style imo. Mansell only got so many poles that year due to 60% the car as that car Williams made was immense.

    I like the addition of the DRS zones and last yer they added KERS. It seems to be getting better and drawing a whole lot of American fans. I started watching when Hamilton started in 08-09.

    The only racing I can't watch is NASCAR. I just can't do it. Don't have the patience to watch them go around in circles for hours at a time.

    I can't stand NASCAR, and I can't stand how they took over the speed channel here in the states. That channel was so much better when it was speedvision.

    Yeh, the track in Texas looks class Top Gear mag had a feature on it with some 400bhp F150 trck flying round it looks good to be honest

    I don't really like the KERs thing but the DRS is cool.

    F1 technology is crazy. They're making adjustments at 150+ mph man all on the wheel. To much to think about while your driving

    F1 fan.

    I like the old USA GP, in the Indy circuit. Do you know if the Texas is gonna be a "normal" circuit or an oval?

    Google it and you'll see it, looks class imo. Gonna be a good race next year F1 has always been at the fore front of car tech to be honest and they always have pushed it. Look back at the 80's with the turbo cars BMW had 1500bhp for the Qualifying engines out of 1500cc engines. Mental.

    The technology on those cars definitely incredible, you have to be a great driver just to keep the engine running.

    I'm a big racing fan mostly F1 and WRC. I was really upset to hear Dan Wheldon died. I met him once he was a super nice guy

    The TT is epic. You should go there with a bike they let you ride around as fast you like on the Sunday with no speed limits.

    Man if I had enough patience to last that long on a flight. The first place I'd be is germany, at the ring.

    **** the ring it's dirt unless you go there during mid week to be honest. It's gotten kinda crap over the last few years with all th hype it is after getting on the tv which is a shame. Go to the TT way more fun and interesting as there is no speed limit on Jersey all year round once you are out of the towns as it is not part of the EU therefore it can do what ever the **** it likes.

    I think the best racing in the world imo is the WTCC and the DTM car as they don't have to be so careful with the cars and therefore are more aggressive.
