    That was pretty interesting, although around 45 min in, they had Lewis and Jenson in the cars at the Top Gear track, and it reminded me of TOONED.

    The creators of TOONED probably saw the same video and went hmmmm...

    Now we have TOONED.

    I wasnt sure if steward was good or bad thing, so I have to call the help of a dictionary,
    but not a regular dictionary I have find it in a F1 dictionary.

    A Glossary of F1 terms

    Steward = One of three high-ranking officials at each race appointed to make decisions and make sure drivers and teams adhere to regulations. Stewards have the discretion to hand out penalties to drivers and teams during and after the race.

    Seems an important job.

    I am so looking forward to this one. I think we built what looks like a fantastic course.

    Those of us following along in the US have probably already heard that Speed (Fox) lost F1 broadcast rights to NBC as of the end of the 2012 season. Along with much concern, this raised many questions, one of which is now answered in part:

    According to MWM, NBC's F1 commentary team will be Diffey, Hobbs and Matchett, live pit reporter TBD.

    Ruh, roh! First corner chaos possible, I've been wondering about this. I think he's exaggerating a bit saying "we won't have a clue where the apex is because the only car that will know will be the car on the inside [at the front] because he's the only one who will be able to see it." They'll all have run a bunch of laps by then so they'll know where it is, they just won't all be able to see it. Still...

    FWIW, I think the race starts at 2pm ET and I think that ^^^ 1:30pm ET is the start of broadcast on Speed. Delta = half hour of pre-race show. I think...

    Yup, P1 might be entertaining. Everyone learning a new track, trying out all those corners for the first time on a green track. :Thumbsup:

    Austin-Berstrom Int'l Airport is safe. They are going away from the airport at that corner. However, there might be a few ranches that might like to know that info... :lol: ;)

    :cornut: The 2 young Ladies are wearing Del Valle High School colors Red and White which should be just the other side of the highway from Austin Bergstrom and next to the track. They didn't look that good in my day.:Thumbsup:
