I've seen better organisation at my local banger racing circuit

Nice triple post. Please act your age.

How do you know his age?

He can operate a 'puter, I'm assuming that he's at least five.

At least the posts were keeping us abreast of the developments in practice.

Ever heard of mirror?

Thats not necessary Joey. McLaren was posting a running commentary, far as I'm concerned he broke no rules and didn't need to get drilled for it.

These kerbs seem to be made in China...

[McLaren]

lol Vlad your not wrong I bet the odds of one coming up during the race must be odds on.

I think we can read even less into this session than we can most P1's.Not only was it cut short by 30 minutes,but it was stop-start,stop-start.
Most exciting thing was during the delay before the start ,the camermen outside the McLaren garage fighting.One ending up charging the other with his tripod

Dumb circuit can't even get its kerbing fixed in. Kick it out of the calendar.

Maybe this year will be different, outside of the track looks remarkable, but when you get inside, its just.. so bleh. I dunno. I'll still watch the entire race of course, I just hope for some real excitment.

The joys of temporary street circuits. There are always going to be problems with kerb fixings and various pieces of irnmongery that are not designed to have F1 cars running over them.

The dodgy kerbs have been removed anyway so they have a nice concrete wall to aim for rather than the kerbs.

Have you seen Vettel's helmet? It's a crazy thing, shines so bright!

His helmet must take a bit of polishing to get it that shiny!

What is this kerbs stuff?

Are you referring to KERS? or Curbs? (we spell it different in the usa apparently)

[vlad]

Kerb, the thing on the edge of almost every curve...

[andrew]

The red and white things on the apex of the corners.

Our spelling is Kerb but for some reason you guys spell it Curb.

[killem2]

That's what I tought you were saying, so one of those came off? ROFL.

[andrew]

One of the fixing bolts was sticking up and a section of the kerb was loose. The damage may have been done during a Porsche support race. They couldn't fix it so the section of kerbing around (I think) turn 11 has been removed.
