Those are real Formula 1 cars back when Formula 1 was real Formula 1. Not this we're gonna save the planet cause we run eco-friendly F1 cars eighteen or nineteen weekends a year.

We discovered the right front wheel nut on the front straight of the track Friday evening, and have confirmed that the wheel nuts were torqued to a lower than required setting by Classic Team Lotus, who was helping us run/maintain the car this weekend.Alex MacAllisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-69873840919664194472014-05-11T01:22:35.395-04:002014-05-11T01:22:35.395-04:00Sad to see it bent...but it being raced - what it ...Sad to see it bent...but it being raced - what it was built to do - is infinitely better than having it locked up in a garage.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-82248693580743003762014-05-10T18:44:49.206-04:002014-05-10T18:44:49.206-04:00Maldonado - "I crashed...sorry."Maldonado - "I crashed...sorry."Dane Arnoldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-91661430130566866072014-05-10T04:09:31.110-04:002014-05-10T04:09:31.110-04:00There are certainly some drivers who are out for a...There are certainly some drivers who are out for a bit of a Sunday drive but many are quite skilled and some are REALLY quick!AxisACnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-39344083959036402382014-05-10T04:03:57.622-04:002014-05-10T04:03:57.622-04:00First off, I have nothing but respect for all of t...First off, I have nothing but respect for all of these guys who put these cars at risk rather than leaving them sitting in a garage.
