If I did, you'd be first on the list Brad man! I cannot wait to see Kimi, Alonso, Vettel, Button, Hulk, Perez, JEV, Ham and all the rest's technique through the barriers (although of course if Ham happens to be near Massa I'll make sure to stand back).
It's gonna be fantastic man... enjoy it to the fullest!!!

“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”

"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"
Chris Cameron-Dow

"One might be tempted to say Ferrari are inconsistent this year. I think the opposite.
They are having one very good race followed by one very poor race. Consistently."

Ok, let me give you this little piece of advise because, even if I think you are as worthy as a worm's snot, I am the one who regards you highest in this forum :P

There's only one reason to watch a race live in Monaco, and that one is to watch the girls around the track in their yachts and their pools and whatnot. Other than that, if you really want to watch the cars and the drivers, go to bahrein, or hungaroring! You, sir, are wasting a precious ticket otherwise!

Okay okay, you have convinced me to go to another race! I will send you my ticket immediately! But yes, I'm sure my focus will not just be on the cars :lol: The problem is, with my eyesight, Monaco is probably my best shot of actually seeing anything other than a colourful blur.

It's kilometres, you non-educated yankee doodle dandee.  And simply multiply miles by 1.6 to get kilometres...so 60miles = 96km.

Ok, so far we have:

1) Canada by Master Batracer or Eric, whichever sells me viagra online first.
2) Monaco will be reported from a KFC by George
3) Steve gets Monza, will get drunk in the middle and fall asleep before end of the race.
4) Tanita will write a report for food. She gets to do Melbourne unless Nathan steps up in whic case Tanita gets to Report the 2012 Donkey Rally Cup in Cordoba, Argentina.
5) Mike will do any race Lewis manages to finish. That shortens the list quite a bit but he still gets the Austin report, because, you know, he is all American and stuff and likes Tex Mex food.
6) Piotr will await for Kubica to be fit again, which is a convoluted way of saying "never"

Anybody else? Come on!

HD? The most wonderful sensation?? :P Sounds like a very good pair of glasses you've got there!  Nah, I have some, I just need to sort some slightly better ones for the race as these aren't quite powerful enough anymore. Certainly they don't give me anything like the most wonderful sensation! Also need some decent sunglasses, so I can look at Andrés' Monaco babes on the sly.

I don't think so, considering that they have already scrapped the new exhaust ducts, are planning on scrappin the pull rod suspension as well and I guess even the red color of the cars is under scrutiny. Good thing they have those gazebos for the rain, that innovation will certainly justify their jobs for 2012.

My guess is that they will probably have a different kind of donkey, but a donkey nonetheless. Let's hope it's one that Felipinho can at least keep on the track. Ferrari guys are being uncharacteristically realistic about it.

I'm just glad there's no race in Dallas...
In the sweetest child, there's a vicious streak.
In the strongest man, there's a child so weak.
In the whole wide world, there's no magic place.
So you might as well rise, put on your bravest face.

Though we might have precious little...
It's still precious.

George (Rainmaster) is going too so we can have two reports for the price of one race!

No objections from my side, Sean. It will be good to read both re accounts of the same race.

(And you both are a pair of lucky b#####ds, all said with utmost respect :D)

"On the rare occasions that I play a racing game I often think ‘you know what this needs? A boss battle or two.’ A Formula One game in which, suddenly, everybody else has a monster truck and their sole desire is to squash you. A street racing game with a tank or two blowing the roads and buildings to bits. A Nascar game with a track that occasionally bends to the right" (Adam Smith - RPS)
