Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted May 10, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2018 Marquez is different level crazy. He crashed 3 times over the weekend and like every time he crashes he refuses to accept the crash is his fault in any way. He always goes back to the team and says "This bike doesn't do what I want it to do. Bring me one that does" he never owns the crash.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BigJag Posted May 12, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2018 Cheers for that @courageous. I'll be checking that out. How long have you been doing the reporting for? Are you at the circuit? We also have the Monaco Historic Grand Prix this weekend. Some glorious machines of yesteryear getting a run out.

Always reminded of the Screenwipe sketch about on site reporting - irony is, being on location means you are probably last to know what is going on I'm new to the written form, but been doing commentary since 2010 so figured how hard can it be to regurgitate my speech onto page...

Paid Members BigJag Posted May 19, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2018 The Indy 500 happens on May 27 and qualifying for the race takes place over this weekend. Once qualifying is done. There'll be a 33 car field running around the Brickyard. BT Sport are covering the qualifying and the race. Alonso raced in it last year. There isn't any high profile involvement of F1 drivers this year with field largely made up of the regular Indycar teams plus a couple of independents. Look for speeds in excess of 230mph.

AnotherCrapUsername Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 First time I watched the Indy 500 was last year and that was purely based in Alonso's involvement. I'll be watching again this year despite not knowing any of the drivers really. Â In other motorsport related news, I've just booked Hotels, tickets and flights for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prixin November. Just hoping for a title decider but if not, Guns n Roses are playing after the race so that'll make up for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted May 20, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Is the Abu Dhabi a Motorsport package deal or have you individually booked all that? I always like seeing the paddocks for those middle eastern events. So different to a European GP. Edited May 20, 2018 by BigJag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always like seeing the paddocks for those middle eastern events. So different to a European GP. Booked separately. Worked put so much cheaper.  Tickets are on the start finish straight for all three days and include a pit walk on the Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Singapore Grand Prix in 2015 and that was an incredible experience, if not the greatest race.  Have you attended any F1 races?

Paid Members BigJag Posted May 20, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2018 Silverstone. That was quite a few years ago though. It was the race when some nutcase invaded the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherCrapUsername Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Ironically the race I went to in Singapore has some nutcase on the track. I'd highly recommend looking into a race abroad. I've been to Silverstone, Singapore, Melbourne and Monaco and unfortunately all of those beat Silverstone hands down for atmosphere and peripheral activities and events going on. It's not as expensive as you think either. If you want pointing in the right direction or have any questions, give me a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
