Thanks for saving me a reply, DOF. I would have added Montreal as well, though. :D


Ah yes the wall of champions....

It was always an annual exercise - how long would it be before JV parked it in the wall? :)

Spa is pretty cool.  I really like Mosport though.

I'm a bit late to the party but i read a few of the interviews around JV and Pollack parting ways and it does not sound like JV fired him at all. Pollack and JV seem to have parted on good terms and Pollack is pursuing business interests in Europe. It's just Business.

Spa is a great track one of the best!

And Boris Said...one of my favorite drivers He is a charactrer who loves LOVES racing. I believe he came out of SCCA where (if I remember correctly) I watched him win a Production class championship in a Triumph Spitfire!!! gotta love that!

Well Thank You! That 67 Spit was my first restoration project, I finished it about three years ago. Never done anything like that before but it's been great fun, and blast to drive too. I now have another one on the go (drivable and pretty but not really restored) and a third Triumph in bits in the garage. I think I might have some sort of sickness :lol:

I'd love to see some F1 drivers tackle Bathurst...that track always sorts the boys from the men.

And Spa, Istanbul Park, Monaco, Sepang or Suzuka do not ?!

All those tracks sort the men from the boys :) Most of all Spa, do you know why? Because Kimi has won there three times, and only seven drivers have won there three or more times (I think), and as we all know Kimi is the bestest ever! Oh yeah I would add Silverstone and maybe Interlagos to that list.

@spitfire: gorgeous car!

JV has hired Barry Green as his manager.

I like how Chris Economacki puts it, personally. "Who cares?"

We need more Economacki and less of these bulls##t kids who think good journalism is creating news.
