I'll take the quality and quantity option everytime.
 

12 hours Brad - it only lasts 12 hours.......................just getting started and woops its all over...............


 

wow looks amazing. And don't forget 'diet coke is just $2.50.'

Hold on - there aren't any racing cars in this either - it just gets better and better........................................

 

It was 6 Euro at Mulsanne - but tasted great on Sunday - so worth every cent in my humble..............see you all next year - well not Brad Z obviously. 

Sorry to hear you feel that way Brad - I can't help feeling that if I were so disillusioned with it - then I don’t think I would bother going. But I am not so am already making plans for next year.

As for RLM - like I said before they have moved on to new audiences. That is there judgement call. I wish them every success with that.  

Personally I think they did a great job again this year and should be getting credit, not grumblings. The whole experience would be poorer without them.

All fair points Si - and if I wasn't trackside I would tune in to RLM in an effort to get some of the feeling for what I would be missing. But to me anyway as a must have at trackside? NA - I am happier not listening to it - the incessant ramblings drove me nuts to be honest.

But that's fine - as I mentioned above by targeting their commentary toward those not at the race then RLM has moved on - and as a result, so have I.

This subject pops up every year the week after the race. One year RLM actually got sort of involved and said they would improve the relevance of the coverage for those of us fortunate enough to be trackside. They didn't - I don't even carry a radio now and haven’t for the last three/four years - though do listen to RLM in the car while moving round the various viewing areas during the race (its traditional). The diamond vision screens made it possible to no longer need to try to get any meaningful information from the RLM ramblings - thank goodness.

RLM was a life safer in the 1980's and 1990's and for that I thank them. But now it serves those not lucky enough to be at the circuit and I wish them well with that for the future.

Monkey.

Thank you Mr Rick I will be sure to pass on your best wishes and wish you and your lad a great trip next year too.

Yes I seem to remember they set light to a Peugeot too that year.

Great pics!!!! - I have a draw full of these from the 1980's too - wonder if this was the 'Worlds Greatest Motor Races' golden era?? I do have fond memories. But not so much of the 1991 race itself as it was last the time I missed the race. The reason - my son Al - born 23rd June 1991 - he is twenty one this year too and will be there with me and team Monkey again next week.

How very amusing of them. A little inconvenient but I am happy to say that having checked , my pants are still dry. I am sure we will manage. Monkey

How very interesting - I have to confess to thinking this would never make it into the pit lane less alone out of it. And now I am looking to forward to seeing it in the flesh so to speak.

Not sure what a 'fricking' is but am guessing that it is not a good thing? In which case I agree – ugly!!

See you there..... NEXT WEEK - team Monkey.

Very sorry to hear you have been grog Jock. We will have a cold one (or two) waiting for you at Mulsanne again in June - I am sure SC will be happy to run you down there again. All the best for a speedy recovery.

Couldn't agree more.

I never thought I would say this but agree with FAX11 on this one. I am no engineer but even just looking at this abomination I wonder how they expect there to be any weight at all on the front wheels?? How will it go round corners?? Or am I missing something here??

Anyway I really just wanted to drop in a line to celebrate my affinity with FAX. 

Blimey that snuck up - and I have really screwed my diary - but thanks for the reminder. I think I will try to pop along Saturday to watch the support races and the first hour or two then pop back Sunday to watch the last few hours.
