Glen Sannox Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm old enough to have seen a Formula One driver race at Cowdenbeath, I'll try and post a picture of him. Intrigued Derek Warwick in his superstock, 221,I will dig out the photo and post it, Derek has never lost sight of his Stock Car roots!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooCoothenoo Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Derek Warwick in his superstock, 221,I will dig out the photo and post it, Derek has never lost sight of his Stock Car roots!! Of course! I only go back as far as Barry Lee. I always liked Warwick, Read an interview with him where he said he feels no animosity towards Senna despite him blocking his move to Lotus in 1986, despite it effectively ruining his career. His brother Paul looked to be pretty good too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeek Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Doesn't look good, seen that picture a few times now, they're going to be very lucky to get away with that. Hopefully they do 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CooCoothenoo Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 So from what I've read all 28 spectators are likely to recover. NASCAR certainly dodged a bullet there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t1t3h Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 ESPN news started their coverage with news that Danica didn't finish the race before even mentioning the crash and spectators being injured apparently. It really was a horrific accident and looking at this picture, it's a miracle that no-one was killed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t1t3h Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Nissan have just announced that they are going to run a zero emissions electric race car at Le Mans in 2014. The long term plan is to have a LMP1 zero emissions race car win the Le Mans 24hrs. NISMO/Nissan are going to release a NISMO tuned GTR soon too apparently.

Mackie The Staggie Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Speaking of spectator safety! Seen this before and will admit that I'm very tempted about heading out to it, but want to cross the NW200 and the Hill Climb festival at St-Ursanne - Les Rangiers in Switzerland off my list first Nissan have just announced that they are going to run a zero emissions electric race car at Le Mans in 2014. The long term plan is to have a LMP1 zero emissions race car win the Le Mans 24hrs. NISMO/Nissan are going to release a NISMO tuned GTR soon too apparently. Despite the fact it's electric, got to commend Nissan on trying something different. Last year was the Delta Wing which split opinions (I loved it BTW) but at least they are attempting to push forward in motor racing with potential benefits to road cars.

Mr. Brightside Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 It's a hydrogen fuel cell engine by the way, not just electric. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
