Yeah, i'd agree he's an exciting prospect.
I watched the Portimao rounds and another who lept out at me was Johnathan Rea! Last time i saw his name he was winning a few races in BSB as the up and coming rookie. Hadnt realised he'd gone over to WSBK, he was doing great!
Is Camier doing WSBK next year? will be interested to see how he gets on.

Other Motorsports Bayliss, Edwards, Toseland etc etc have never really delivered.
But going the other way round is pretty similar: Biaggi, Guintolli etc.

Off-Topic Dan, from what i recall from my time in Portsmouth, some friends of mine were moved out of their digs because they reported a few electrical faults. An engineer came out and had to have the building condemed! Said friends were moved into a lovely residential-let to keep them quiet! (And it worked. c'mon, how many students had a conservatory and a pond!?)
I would definatley make noises if

Other Games I tell you what, you know your stuff. I didn't know about the percentage completed thing. So, Petit isn't a stand-alone event? ALMS guys scored champ points to they?

Other Motorsports Dave, as an elder-statesman of the community, why are you acting like some kind of Audi fanboy? Yes, they were infinitly better than Pug, but the Pug's won. Its hardly like it's the first time the slower guy won a race. I thought you of all people would be the first to acknowledge that?

F1 Llandow has undergone quite a transformation in the last few years
I'm told it's absolutley nuts! Can't wait.
They 'might' be doing a winter series, just waiting for the calender. Other than that, the normal season runs from March to November. Booking up in january though is advisable, its extremley popular.

Off-Topic Chet, fear not. The karts are supplied by 'Club100', who run thier own series. I am infact racing with them at Llandow in South Wales this coming weekend.
And it depends on what you class as cheap, a season costs about £1500. Which, when had up against buying, storing, repairing and maintaining your own kart, isnt bad at all....

Off-Topic Chet, you should check out the BUKC. Cov have a few teams entered i think.
I have done a few single seater days, that one looks quite good as you get a fair crack at it. But it is ruddy pricey. I'd sooner do a day or half a day's test in a Formula Vee or something. Dunno if you need a National B just for testing mind....?

Off-Topic And on the subject of Eddie Jordan:
Eddie is proving that he has his merits. Like getting on the cuff interviews with MS, features such as the Rubens one at the weekend etc. But overall, the man is an embarrasment. Some of the extraordinary clap that spews from his mouth surely must leave BBC producers scratching thier heads.....? Surely? You'd hope!
I really enjoyed when they had Mike

F1 I'm with what Fincent said ^.
here's a copy of what i wrote in another forum on the subject:
'Legard is abysmal, i think i actually may have prefered JA if only for his rapport with Martin. Legard and Brundle just isnt working out, during the race (1st lap even!!!) theres criminal levels of dead-air that just sap any momentum or buzz. Should i miss a race and watch it back on

Off-Topic Great thread.
I had a look and was suprised to see that i only joined up in 2004 (as 'iceman kimi). That would have made me 20. So i havent changed an awful lot apart from the male right-of-passage of growing the hair and then cutting it all off again....
So, it is far more entertaining to show you the 13yr old Peat and the current Peat.
