I am quite nerdy into Star Wars obviously anything sci fi huge F1 fan and computer games I love computer games.
anyway not sure what else to put so HELLO.
Hi, welcome here.
What do you enjoy about F1?
I liked it in the '90s but haven't watched since then.
Hello Roswell I’ve been watching F1 since 1994 been obsessed ever since I love the cars the tracks and drivers and of course the racing.
Can you explain any of it to me?- because I used to enjoy watching it for entertainment but don't understand the technical side.
I don't know what downforce is. Or the strategies drivers use to win.
yes i agree its now just stupid ....
I'm a super-nerd on all things technical.
I wouldn't embarrass myself on the programme - BBC completely lost the plot and it's just sooo sad to watch now. A totally feminised programme for blokes? The oestrogen is strong on there now.
You know a lot about cars. You should apply to be a new Top Gear presenter, the current ones are rubbish!
thats so mad !
Panther had a deal with British Leyland for most of their bits - the Kallista (the ones in the background) was mostly made out of MG Midget parts - all the cockpit/doors/hood etc. The '6 had all sorts of development problems - like the engine. Back in the '60s, General Motors (US) tried to emulate the Mini so developed front wheel drive cars too - by taking a massive V8 and putting the gearbox next to it and linking the two with a massive chain drive. This went into the Buick Riviera and Olds Toronado and the Cadillacs of the era. They took this massive (8 litres) lump and put it behind the seats of the '6 and later added twin turbos!
