First off not everyone’s cuppa..

Now we have that out of the way, here is a suggestion for April. The two races in Middle East are cancelled. Too many problems arranging alternatives.

Have two events for the F1 drivers. Somewhere like Silverstone. Identical race prepared cars. Select keys from a hat. In fact three races each event. Three completely different vehicles. Bit like the supporting saloon car races back in the good old days!

What do you think

I have better idea:
Keep the cars/rivers  as they are, but, for example, give the best positioned drivers ( probably Russel and Atonelli) Ferrari Engineers

I have no interest in formula 1, but classic saloon cars I could watch all day.

I reckon they should have a demolition derby! Much cheaper and could only be more entertaining to watch.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Rachel Reeves should be offering to host those two races here.

Brands Hatch? Donington Park?

Think of all the extra fuel duty revenue! 

[Mr Skrunts]

Like the Idea of 2 UK races Why not add brands Hatch

Now they were fun!
I went to a few with my boyfriend at the time in the late 60's, and to watch Austin Westminster's , Humber Hawks, Ford Counsels, Vauxhall Crest PA's, etc, crunching each other up was most entertaining!

Ace fun, yes. Agree with you there Lizzie. But when you see your beloved  Victor 101 being demolished… ?

There was always a Rover 90 or 110 that smashed everything else to bits.

Still fun though!!!

Hopefully, F1 will cancel the rest of the "races". Forever.

Still, Merc doing well is good for the town....

I used to love going to Brands to watch F1. It not a fit track / locaton / facilty for modern F1 unfortunately.

Something like this ?
If my memory serves the F1 drivers took part on a race in these cars during every race weekend.

The last picture a saw of my Mk3 Grannie was upside down on the infield of Foxhall stadium.

As  a kid I had an uncle who owned a Victor 101, and I always remember it being huge.

See one today and it looks tiny when compared the the great 'slabs of lard' most cars are today.
