Just to let you all know we're still here and Phoney Stark hasn't deleted this account just yet.
It is about two days away from being taken over by those scammers who advertise cut-price Ray-Bans though

Last pod of the year sees us dissect the F1 movie.
Come for the nitpicking, stay for the lack of a Super Licence, bad romantic subplot and flat-out cheating.

In case anyone was wondering about any racing projects David Brabham was involved with post-Simtek...
Remember when Noel Edmonds took on the 24 Heures du Mans? Neither did we!
Fortunately, a BBC filmcrew captured the entire thing, which means we can talk about the insanity of 'Noel's Le Mans Dream'.

Remembering Roland Ratzenberger on what would have been his 65th birthday.
Roland made just 1 @F1 start with @SimtekF1 in 1994, we know why.
Prior to that he had raced in the @BTCC, taken a class win in the @24hoursoflemans,...

...'94 gearbox.
The pair managed 3 finishes between them in 4 rounds in 1995, before financial issues saw them miss Monaco & Canada before going bankrupt, selling the 2 chassis for a combined £34,000
A sad end to an ill-fated venture.

Time for another 30 year #throwback; it's been that long since we lost @SimtekF1 from the @F1 grid after a tragedy-marred & ill-fortuned 18 months.
In 1995 Domenico Schiatarella & Jos Verstappen took the wheel, the latter bringing Benetton's...

I don't believe there is a better way to call it a day.
Ratzenberger and Senna in one shot at Imola.
Two hero's, two champs, both on their own level, both lost their lives at Imola.. separated by just a day..

Good Morning everyone!

In fairness, we'd probably make the same mistake too as we've never gone long enough in a race to see what a chequered flag looks like...
🚨 Big news from @f1academy 🚨
Doriane Pin has been given a 20 second time penalty for taking the chequered flag twice and LOSES her Race 2 win to Abbi Pulling.
