Marvellous.

Sodemo · 19 Aug 2005, 08:26 (Ref:1386094)

Nice, De La Rosa fastest at present.

mabs_nsx · 19 Aug 2005, 08:28 (Ref:1386097)

What car is Toccacello driving?

Minardi or Jordan?

mabs_nsx · 19 Aug 2005, 08:34 (Ref:1386100)

I will answer my own question. Minardi.

Sodemo · 19 Aug 2005, 08:40 (Ref:1386104)

Why is Schumacher 7 seconds off the pace of the Macs?

EDIT: Hes now only 4 seconds off.

Sodemo · 19 Aug 2005, 08:47 (Ref:1386107)

Schumacher spins and goes off at turn 4 apparently...

Fan · 19 Aug 2005, 08:51 (Ref:1386109)

Red flags - looks like de la Rosa is off

mabs_nsx · 19 Aug 2005, 08:55 (Ref:1386113)

It was a Mechanical Problem.

NO1SPECIAL · 19 Aug 2005, 09:03 (Ref:1386122)

Well well well, Williams aiming for a win perhaps???

(geez, i wonder what the bookies are currently paying?)

Rob29 · 19 Aug 2005, 10:25 (Ref:1386194)

Why can I not see a single spectator around the circuit? Vast empty stands-and I thought Friday was rest day in Moslem countries?

i was trying to find sth on marshals in the world and searching and searching i found this site and checkin it out i saw this msg and i thought I'VE GOT TO REPLY

so here it is :

-UNFORTUNATELY- Friday is not a rest day in Turkey and i was there that day in the circuit, in the first curve and to be exact i was in post nr 4 as a Dep. Chief Marshal BUSTING MY ASS OFF = which is not a very muslim thing to do as we can see from ur msg. I was there and almost 1000 other muslims were there doing the best we could.

And about the spectators, the tickets weren't all that cheap and many people chose to stay home and enjoy themselves before the tv.

From istanbul with love,
a turkish female muslim marshal

Thanks Mughettina, for putting us right on that! So Turkish racing is normally on Sundays? Guess you are busy today with the WTCC & GTs.
BTW: Are there any females driving in Turkish racing?

Turkish racing is normally at the weekends cuz in Turkey the workdays are monday to friday. Some unfortunate people have to work also on saturdays. As you can guess rallies start on friday and end sunday.

We had a cup called Polo Ladies Cup this year a circuit race. And there are women in different levels of karting and if i'm not mistaken there are like 3 or 4 female teams in Turkish rally championship. And there are also a few women co-drivers.
+ Many female marshals (and we rock!!)

I didn't go to the WTCC&GT this weekend, cuz i'm in another city and i sadly am (at least was) busy.

A question : do you get paid for marshalling? Especially in F1 ?

GolddustMini · 19 Aug 2005, 10:32 (Ref:1386198)

but in religion that means rest as in, DONT GO TO WATCH THE GP PRACTICE

Knowlesy · 19 Aug 2005, 11:25 (Ref:1386245)

What's a minuits? Is that french or something?

Louis B. · 19 Aug 2005, 15:03 (Ref:1386430)

Strong first showing of the McLarens: P2, P3 & P4 overall.

"Tiens, tiens..." Villeneuve ahead of Rubens, Ralf and Massa on a Friday practice.

Louis B. · 19 Aug 2005, 18:46 (Ref:1386555)

fined for speeding in the pitlane:

"That's a quick way to spend $7000!" JV grinned, "It's driver error. If the button's not working, the team pays, if the finger of the driver is not working, then the driver pays…"

I will miss you should the vultures succeed...

Jeeze give it a rest!

You're JV obsessions worrying me, lol

Louis B. · 19 Aug 2005, 19:37 (Ref:1386595)

It's indeed very difficult for me not to allude to JV in my posts. Damn it, I've done it again.

P.S. VilleneuveTracy where are you?

Andy77 · 20 Aug 2005, 06:16 (Ref:1386787)

hopefully "my" reds will perform slightly better today

Andy77 · 20 Aug 2005, 07:10 (Ref:1386804)

the break between the sessions is filled pretty nice here.
station shows a replay of the 1986 Mexico GP. This sweet black John Player Lotus and this yellow helmet

As far as 3rd session goes Williams & BAR are a surprise. the reds have to find something if they wanna get into points.
let´s see what will happen at the end of 4th session.
