Just registered my team - Kimi stole my ice cream F1!

Never run the Race Manager before although watched with interest last year, team submitted is:

Driver One: Daniel Ricciardo
Driver Two: Heikki Kovalainen (or Hokey-Cokey-pea-head as my fiancee calls him!)
Chassis: Caterham
Engine: Renualt (Caterham)
Fuel: Petronas

Am I doing it right? :)

I'm hoping to improve on 25th from last year this time going with

Top Gear F1

Driver 1 Charles Pic(Mar)
Driver 2 Timo GLock (Mar)
Chassis Torro Rosso
Engine Catherham
Fuel Total

Going with good fuel and resonable chassis and engine combined with poor drivers to get started

For the Race Manager should I make sure to use all the money? I have a $3M left after selecting everything and can't afford the next better item in any category.

The article seems to make it a money issue. As in this way they can afford to continue both as they only have to pay the fee in the years they run the race, so they have time to raise the money.

That's the end of the European GP for now then, unless they start picking a different country to host the race each year as it should be.

Anyone here remember the details / have a link for info on watching RTL (Germany) from the UK? I tried to set it up on the satellite dish at my mother's house earlier but as best I could tell I could only get RTL CH.

Sounds like your dish is pointing at 13° east, it needs to point at 19.2° east.

Kind of contradicts what his friends have been saying.

He can do a lot more than what Jamie thinks supposedly, maybe Jaime's info is out of date.

I'm disappointed in you Edmond! If you're Jaime would you play up Robert's injury? I certainly would! I feel bad saying that but, it's the name of the game in F1 sadly.

I wonder if Pirelli would hire Jaime as their test driver for their new ( to them) Renault R30 F1 car? But maybe they want someone more experienced? I would really like to see Antony Davidson back in a Formula One car. I really liked that guy! Actually, now that I think of it Jarno Trulli probably has a good shot at that position maybe even Rubens?

Like Leunam I to have been busy. I have been working on my new website, I should have the final rough draft of the graphics, text, logo etc. done by mid-next week. I hope you guys like it and hopefully some of you will feel compelled to write a few guest articles!

Also, if you use Twitter follow @greaseandgears ! I need to build up my followers base and not to mention I currently suck pretty hard at using Twitter!

I also joined the racing league, I am "Canuck Luck." :)

Before I go, you should check out the new Autosport magazine, it's a really good each edition!
