Just a heads up, the Veterans GP first race is on Sunday :D

DO NOT MISS THIS.

Murray Walker will be commentating :notworthy:

Ready for some old skool F1 action with all the old stars, and Nigel Mansell is on the Grid.

And if any of you still doubt his Red mist, its still there, remember those 2 seater McLaren Formula one cars? They disappeared didnt they ;) Well there was a charity auction, and a couple of millionaires sat in teh passenger seats and were driven round by Mansell and some other F1 driver, and they were really going for it, and the red mist descended and both cars were totalled in a racing incident :D

I cant wait, this is gonna be cool, and no doubt will be like the Old timers tennis tour, a lot of show boating :nod:

No idea what time or even what channel yet :wack:

I've scanned through digiguide and can't find it on any of the likely channels within next two weeks.
If the race is tomorrow, it doesn't seem to be being shown live :(

FFS :rolleyes: Does Digital give the option to turn off the commentry then? :smash:

What cars are we talking here? I'm guessing classic '70-80's from Atrulls post :confused:
If so then it'll be worth braving Cruddly Talker for :D

saw this at the a1gp brands hatch

all I can say is.. prepare to be blown away by legendary cars suddenly coming around the corner.

and laugh at the difference in performance betweens 70s and 80s f1 cars.

No you didn't. You saw the Historic F1 Thoroughbred Grand Prix at Brands Hatch which is the cars of yesteryear.

Veterans GP are the Stars of Yesteryear :thumbs:

Download it yes, but I can't remember the URL and you aren't supposed to post it anywhere, it's top secret :)

I found the race dull and precessional(sp) . I think perhaps it would be better if a) They chose a better track with more overtaking oppertunity and b) the drivers had more practice and were up to speed.

There certainly is the chance to make an interesting series as the cars looked good.

14-11-2005, 14:18

I think the director could have showed the action towards the rear more than the procession at the front.
Potencial, but not a winner just yet :no:
