It is not worth trying to have rational debate when there is insufficient logic to reason with.

That's why we're dumping you losers. Me and turbo kick are off to planet f1.

Fray Luis de León wrote mystical poems which prompted Cervantes to proclaim León "a genius who astounds the world and who, in ecstasy, might rob us of our senses." León was also an active man who taught at the University of Salamanca, translated classical and biblical literature, and wrote on religious themes. Twice denounced before the Inquisition, he was imprisoned for "heresy," though he returned to the University to later hold the chairs of Moral Philosophy and Biblical Studies.

Tradition has it that he began his lecture the first day after returning from four years' imprisonment with the words "as we were saying yesterday..."

Would love to do a track-day in less powerful cars for longer periods....those short outbursts are just damn expensive. But then, I don't see myself owning a ferrari in the near future, which is why I didn't mind doing it once... Waiting to get my hands on an Aston.

Go to a track day at a track then - you can even run your own car...that is if you like the sound of squeeling tyres and cooking your brake fluid.  Otherwise, find a track experience thing where you can run maybe a touring car, or even an open wheeler.

Problem is though, that you only get like three laps or so if you go through one of those "experience" deals.

Getting yourself a cheap track car is also an option - something already with a roll cage etc, tweaked a bit or whatever.  At the end of the day, it's not about the horses in the back (or front), nor the price tag on the showroom floor, but about the very large smile you will get at the end of your 20-min track session....

In NZ sessions run all day, broken into sedans, bikes and open wheelers, so every hour (or there abouts) your get 20mins track time.

(I'd recommend you looking into an open wheeler though - speed is better and they are designed as race cars - either a Formula Ford or Formula Vee - both reasonably priced, especially in the historics divisions (for FFord that is pre 1989 generally). The older cars are also the cars that you can fix with a spanner - you don't need a computer doctorate to work out how to start the engine, nor a team of ten guys to support you at the track)

I am trying to arrange some time in open wheelers in Germany. I can't afford to take my own car, due to many bureaucratic reasons in Italy, where I currently based. So, when I get sometime, I would love to do it..
thanks for the tips, that was Handy!

Go on defending medoicracy (alonso), as I see you're a latin guy, tell me then what do you think of the way they put Massa's carreer in order to benefit alonso? The team orders are prohibited as far as I know, what do you think of: ¨Massa, alonso is faster than you, confirm you have received...¨

I don't think it's a bright idea defending mediocrasy (defending alonso...) and I don't fear their kicks, I'm not a swindler (nor a coward, noway...), I don't cheat anyone and I know turbokick better (got a real good kick, believe me, finally I'm the TURBOkick, no?)...

Totally fine. Team orders are allowed these days after all, and on the basis there's more chance of me flying to the moon tomorrow than Felipe being World Champion this year, I see that there's no problem in the team helping Alonso's chances.

So yeah, you may want to check your facts. Team orders are now perfectly legal.

And you know, only recently there was talk that McLaren would start to use team orders to help Hamilton, but I guess you're fine with that?

They lifted them AFTER alonso's support from FIA, before that they were PROHIBITED and their ¨abolishment¨ were only to ¨justify¨ alonso and Ferrari.

As you can see I have nothing against "some group of people" (would I defend Massa if I do?), I'm against lack of justice and tollerance of mediocracy that occure sometimes in modern F1...Regards.
