Official F1/Motorsport thread

Very interested to see how next year pans out now and who's going to get the upper hand Brit wise, could end up being close between JB and Hamilton. James Allen is going to cream his pants each race now though with all the Brit drivers.

Kind of motorsport related but as we don't have a car thread I'll put it here:

Subaru are launching a Richard Burns Special edition Impreza called the RB320 (320 bhp).



A fitting tribute I think I don't usually go for the road/rally style but that's damn mean!

It just doesn't bear thinking about!

I'm not much of a car buff but even I'm quite excited by that.

Nice looking beast and a great tribute indeed.

Button has cracked a few ribs karting last week, didn't see the story originally.

Love the last sentence of that story:

Rumours that Jenson was seen with Juan Pablo Montoya near a tennis court are unfounded.

cool to see mika back in the mclaren. 18 fastest out of 18. Not Bad

[VR46]

Just a heads-up, latest F1 Racing mag is a Schumacher tribute, love him or hate it, got to be a worthy read.

ITV season review is on ITV1, Sunday, December 31 at 11.25.

I bet I forget to watch it!!

[Richard.John]

Well, we can now talk about this year's championship! Hooray. FA and KR can now test so I can't wait to see pics of them in their new cars.

Did anyone see the ITV special?

[VR46]

Nope, I missed it, and can't see that it's repeated this week

[On The Edge of Insanity]

Completly forgot it was on, although I would probably have turned it off half way through if James Allen played a prominant role. Had a strange dream last night which included him being replaced by Ben Edwards. If only!
