Boring time at the mo really, no real racing on. Watched V8 supercars a couple of times but need a good fix of F1 or GT racing to cure the off season blues.
On the horizon though is a trip to the GP Collection at Donnington in January.

Britcar24hr 2011

Got proper dictracted, through the night, but suffice it to say it was great racing, 3 cars battling iand 4th with the Aquila CR1 storming off into the sunset. That was until it buried itself in the gravel at Vale, drive shaft broken. No 6 car dropped back 19 laps whilst repair was done allowing the 2 F430's of messrs Mc Inerney and Gamski to fight it out with the Moslers. As daybreak came there was nt too much in it. then the No1 car of Witt Gamski devloped a cracked manifold and geometry problems and retired on safety grounds.
That left it to the Mosler of Top cat racing/ Strata21 to fight for the lead with the F430 of the Mc Inerney boys, it was nip n tuck right up til about 2 1/2 hours out when the Mosler's throttle sturk open and ploughed it into the tyre wall at Brooklands. That was the end really, the Mc Inerney boys went on to win by a healthy 13 laps completing 573 laps in 24 hrs.
Well done to the No2 car of Sean and Michael Mc Inerney on a sterling drive and a very well deserved win.
See ya there next year for sure.

Britcar24hr 2011

I know it's MOT F1 but it's racing, I'm off to Silverstone for the Britcar24 HR race this weekend, will post from there. Will be seeing Gary Marshal aka Williamsowl and hopefully Andreas will be marshalling the same as me. Will try and keep you up to speed and will report any discussions vis forum.

Just a thought!

It occurred to me this morning, how come Williams forum was targeted and how come it seemed so relatively easy to shut it down? I've never heard of any other F1 team sites going through this, has anyone else?

Welcome to NBR, a temporary home for all thing WilliamsF1

Hi guys, Bootneck here, this is my blog that I've resurected if we need or want to chat to each other then we can use this until we find something better. The tech minded ones of you will know better than me how to link to FB and Twitter etc so please feel free to educate me. Meanwhile I'm sending you all an E-mail inviting you to use this space as a forum now that Williams have sadly closed there'e down.
I'm not going to go into the reasons for that or what I personally think about the demise of the forum, lets try and keep this area upbeat and fun. any subjects you particularly want covering let me know.

Regards

Bootneck.
