A good way of buggering up a Lotus!

This guy was also at a motorshow in Jersey this year too, the main attraction of the show and he was a bloody joke!

I made my thoughts clear on this clip and it would it looks like he has responded! The arguement that could happen on this link could be more interesting than the video link

What a sarcy git that bloke is.

Hope you win the argument

by **JJMonty** » 11 Sep 2011, 07:20

Well I hope he doesn't call himself a Grand Prix driver after that youtube clip!

He has offered to tour me around his car if he ever returns to Jersey.... close enough a win :roll:

That was pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. He said in the comments he was warming up his tyres, but if smoke is pouring off them, you're doing it wrong. Plus, from the look of the track, I doubt warm tyres are going to make a difference when it's too thin and tight for the aerodynamics to work.

He offered to give me a "tour" around his car the next time he is in Jersey.... personally I would like to race him as he seems to be another person who ruins classic F1 cars due to having more money than skill (the video suggests my theory is correct

)

Saw the clip and read your comments, he does seem to think he's the best around but that spin is truly awful, what a way to ruin a classic car.

I think Top Gear already has featured Dutch Reverse Racing... but if they did it was on Old Top Gear, it was the kind of thing Tony Mason was known for reporting on when his Northern tones weren't talking about rallying or vintage cars. When it came round to Reliant Robin racing, he was entered in a race, and as Current Top Gear says, "that's not gone well!"

There are a few archives of Old Top Gear on Youtube and... accessible by other means. If I was ever to watch right through them all I might even find it, if it's there, but I'm sure I remember the cars in that feature being Beetles (presumably with the back axle flipped over). Of course, this being the Netherlands, using their own pride and joy was the logical move, because those DAF Variomatic gearboxes could go just as fast in reverse as they could forwards. I'll bet that was a right barrel of laughs on the streets of Amsterdam.

Incidentally, how many of you knew the Volvo 340 was supposed to be a DAF? Show of hands...

Plenty of DAF's and VW bugs there. I also spotted several Morris Marinas, a couple Chevy Impalas, a Ford Escort, an Opel Kadett, a few Citreon 2CVs, a few Austin 1100s, a Renault 5, an even a Mercedes E series.

by **WeirdKerr** » 25 Sep 2011, 05:37

only the dutch would think it was a good idea to go backwards racing in DAF (missing a t there i thing... lol) but then they had a form of Continous Variable Transmission meaning they went as fast bacwards as the could go forwards.......

It certainly says something that with not one but two DRS zones and Pirelli tyres, there was nothing interesting about that race.

Not a bike man at all, but I have to agree that was spectacular. However, the commentary certainly WAS rejectful: "This is blokes' racing this, now"

This, ladies and gentlemen, explains why NASCAR just can't be taken seriously by people outside the States. "200 miles per damn hour"? Really? This guy drove when NASCAR cars could easily get 240 m/h.

Darrell Waltrip probably did half of that on purpose in order to make good TV. That's the kind of person he is. It probably didn't scare him as much as he let on (the quality of the drivers in V8 Supercars I think left him in legitimate awe though), but again, Ol' DW is a showman above all else.

Even above being a racing driver.

This has nothing at all to do with F1, but is extremely rejectful.
Instead of using a grader to remove the bumps from the track, the organisers of the speedway decided to replace it with a very unique piece of equipment - which didn't work very well (you'll have to watch the video to find out what it is).

Opel recently launched an advertising campaign in France, where people kept talking in German to show off just how good German cars are.

I've actually seen stuff like that done before, but admittedly, the places I went to used a rake of some kind or at least MacGyvered one...
