    F1 in 2017

    The way they made the last race a 'cars' movie promo' was just plain sad. Tim.

    F1 in 2017

    Some people thought the rear engined cars were ugly, Some people thought wings were ugly, Some people thought advertising was ugly. I don't like much about the look of a modern formula one car, too many wings, winglets, barge boards, aerials and sundry other devices for my liking. My...

    HOW TO POST PICTURES ON GT40s.com

    Would it be possible for those pictures hosted on this site to have location data stripped automatically? As people use their phones more and more for camera duties it can be easy to forget to turn off or strip location data. Tim.

    Jim Clark: The Quiet Champion

    Yes they could but no they won't. They are too busy worshipping at shrines to themselves - a couple in particular. Tim.

    Bruce McLaren Movie

    Depends what you are looking for. For the most part it's an old style documentary about a man who did more than most of us could dream of achieving, and he did it without a silver spoon. Some reenactment and cutaways to some crappy American western movie that were supposed to assist the...

    SCG 003C runs The Ring

    I watched as much as was easily available here. Congratulations on the performance of your team and car. A shame about the crash but the attitude in the garage looked very positive. The car's colour scheme looked familiar somehow - very cool. :) It lent a nostalgic feel that was very welcome. Tim.

    Ah I see the confusion: In much of the world people don't try to drag the other person off their feet when they greet. Tim.

    F1 in 2017

    Even with my faded interest in F1, the new ownership fills me with dread for its future. Cars look a bit better, sound sort of like the old days of flat plane V8s with valve springs... sort of... if you squint your ears. Glad Bernie is gone but I'd take him over Kentucky Fried F1. Hopefully Ross...

    ISIS Asian attack in London yesterday,

    One of the things that I admire about the English, and that I think sets them apart from others, is the way they don't let terrorists drive them into the behavior that the terrorist is trying to provoke... Usually anyway. I guess being directly involved in a horrendous war, i.e. having much of...

    GT40s.com Paddock Politics Thread

    I find myself defending a thread I don't like (although sometimes the more extreme among the contributors make me laugh). Anyway - As long as it stays in this thread I have no issue with what happens here although I do find it sad most of the time. Larry's text formatting alone makes it all...

    Ford GT An American Icon.

    As usual Australians need to use workarounds to get Amazon or Hulu - or indeed much of the content the rest of the world gets on Netflix etc. Thanks Amazon etc, and especially Rupert you rooster vacuumer. Tim.

    F1 in 2017

    For some people the realisation that the thing that once seemed so important is really quite pointless, completely unimportant and a huge risk to your family's future, is enough to make all the bs weakling barbs from anonymous internet entities and whingy arrogant ex-competitors meaningless and...

    F1 in 2017

    I suspect that Rosberg has seen what happened to hamilton and has decided that there are more important things in life. Watching hamilton turn into what he has become would be enough to make any decent person want to avoid the same fate. I note hamilton showed his now usual lack of class with...

    One person, all that power... seems kind of king like to me, but ok... And you said rule before I did. ;p Tim.

    I should say that the independence of each representative should be protected and less constrained than it is here in Aus where they are forced to toe the party line pretty much and therefore (imo) become less representative of their community. Tim.

    It has always seemed strange to me that you guys seem to want a king to rule over you. IMO you would be better off if your president was ceremonial head but with little to no power. TBH I am not even sure a president is even necessary. The real power should be in representative government. This...
