A1 GP

Postby optical illusion » Mon May 04, 2009 10:56 pm

Derek surprised me last weekend and we ended up at BrandsHatch...

What an unforgettable day!! 2 of the lads we know were racing in the lotus trophy, one came third and the other got put out avoiding a crash on the second lap, poor Pat :( Sickener for him, at least the car wasn't too badly damaged.

There were an awful lot of crashes, despite it being a scorcher, think the pressure was on and some people were being stupid. In the lotus race a europa (one of my new favourite cars) was destroyed, in the A1 final India and China were put out, and a lambo and viper were destoyed in the GT Cup, so badly infact that the race only took 5 mins instead of 25...

Got burned alive on my face, look a state but it was so worth it!!

I saw a gorgeous GT3 RS just parked up, I nearly wet myself, like, 3 times... Some seriously sexual cars there...

Well done to Ireland on becoming world champions, was proud to be cheering for them from Paddock Hill, saw an elated (and very drunk) Adam Carroll et all in the airport afterwards...

Very nice surprise for you. Doubt you could have been there at a better weekend.

And what a result for the Irish Team, fair play to them. Can't understand why it hasn't got more publicity here, it should be a huge pick-me-up for the country!

Absolutely sickened by the media here, this is HUGE, and they just gave it a 2 second glance over on RTE. They should be ashamed of themselves, patriotic me hole.
