Plato - Been in it since 1997 [2 year break 2002/2003] 2 year break - Very diplomatic way of saying everyone hated him so much they wouldn't employ him even though he was so good! This is what it says on the 'very reliable' Wikipedia about his break from BTCC. ''With an ambition to get into NASCAR ...

DWilD

Personally, this is a good thing. Comparing Plato (teammate 2012) and Neate 2012 - Plato - 376 points, 6 wins, 3rd in the championship. Neate - 79 points, best place 6th, 16th in the championship. Career - Plato - Been in it since 1997 [2 year break 2002/2003] double champion (2001 and 2010), never ...

Mine is clearly better since it includes JDA ;) Nah kidding man, I hadn't seen that thread since I don't visit that part of the forum often (and have only been registered for a few weeks). I have been running excel sheets to visualize the evolution of scoring, gaps and etc, and one of my tabs is th...

DWilD

Allright, I fiddled a bit in Excel, to make up a scoring system in which every driver scores and no place is more important than the other - which basically means 24 points for the winner and 1 point for 24th. I should, however, say people retiring didn't get points (because that would mean I would...

Says here, amongst other things, that Perez is '' a long way short of the physical condition of Hamilton and his team-mate Jenson Button.''

DWilD

A few seasons ago I really couldn't stand him, however this season he has been nothing short of sensational and has won me over as a fan. I think Vettel will win the championship, but I think this season could be remembered more for Alonso's performances much in the same way that 86 was Mansell's y...

Authorities such as the ASA, and others, as well as those who complain, assume that we will blindly follow everything we see/ are told in the media, and do not have/apply common sense.

I think it would be better to actually get some interest up before they build a circuit and host a race. If F1 is shown on TV and is popular then I think we could be confident of full grandstands come race weekend. However spending millions of pounds on a circuit before finding out if a population ...

DWilD

I'm sure the F1 community is doing their best to lap up interest in countries that plan to stage f1 races there, but clearly more work needs to be done (India, Korea, for example). It does seem though that they want the race ASAP, with Bernie wanting as much money ASAP (surprise, surprise), then do ...

It's clear I need to clear a few things up. It's nothing against Sky coverage. I'm all for Sky having more fun in their coverage, like BBC.
