Autosport Xmas Edition

**Aysedasi** · 19 Dec 2002, 17:45 (Ref:453617)

I've just flicked through the 2002 Xmas edition of Autosport.

I'm very excited.

I've found a page which isn't devoted to Formula 1.

And 2 pages which don't mention Michael Schumacher at all.

Aren't we lucky people.....

.....but to be honest, there is a great article devoted to the old Spa..... Essential reading for all GPL'ers!

pirenzo · 19 Dec 2002, 18:20 (Ref:453636)

You're checking for mentions of Michael schumacher?

Here's something better to do

The links below have pics of old Spa, and Rouen.

www.racer.demon.nl/6thgear

http://www.lugnutsracing.com

Plus there is a website dedicated to circuits.

It's like a database showing all the track plans for circuits all over the world

I thought you might like that article

and off course there a great article about Audi winning Le Mans...........

Yeah I read that article too, fascinating and timely since there's a thread in the Historic forum about the old Spa too!

Do as I did - stop buying it.

rdjones · 19 Dec 2002, 22:02 (Ref:453790)

oh and I know all the answers to sportcar questions in the quiz.

pirenzo · 19 Dec 2002, 22:27 (Ref:453810)

good...

Graham Goodwin · 19 Dec 2002, 23:38 (Ref:453850)

And they've finally printed a pic of a saleen with one of our vinyls on it - It's a miracle!!

But it is rubbish! - Good Picture of Bristol Motor Speedway from the air though

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Saw that - yes, it is a fantastic picture.

MGF · 20 Dec 2002, 09:27 (Ref:454071)

So much for there section on Le-Mans...

No mention of the only team that came close to pushing the Audi's.... MG

MGF · 20 Dec 2002, 09:28 (Ref:454072)

And no mention of the Morgan!!

Grrrr....

Never ceases to amaze me how many seats they've managed to surround the track with

Chris Gray · 20 Dec 2002, 11:13 (Ref:454114)

Yeah, I got the Xmas issue. Too much F1, too little everything else. This should probably be posted in another forum but where were the club racing season reviews. I agree though, the pics of the year were really good.

Liz · 20 Dec 2002, 12:03 (Ref:454142)

Wouldn't it be nice if magazines could be tailored -- so you could specify your issue of Autosport would be Schumacher Free? I'll probably buy it to put in my archives next to the issue about Austria. But I've pretty well stopped reading F1 magazine until that guy retires.

Nordic · 20 Dec 2002, 12:50 (Ref:454176)

Sad but true fact that this once great mag is now little more than a F1 fanzine.
The only good feature is the once a year Le Mans Special and the support given to Radio Le Mans.
I fear Motor Sport is going the same way again.
Rehashed tails of Fangio at the 'ring, fantastic it may have been but it is well recorded, how about some biopics of the less famous people involed in racing, there stories are no less intresting and would give a very diffrent view. A start could be made with the recently departed Roy Baker, a stalwart of motorsport over many many years, but about whom I know only a small amount.

Nice one, I have to admit...

I'd love to have the same from LM circuit from right above (by a satelite ?)... I have somes taken from the sky (from above Mulsanne or pit lane), but never hight enough to see the entire track...

I know it's in french, but you should try Le Mans Racing, the only paper devoted to Le Mans race and around (ALMS...). Nice pics, good fresh news, but barely 10 issues per year... well, better than nothing (= as it was before !).

Fab · 20 Dec 2002, 13:04 (Ref:454183)

I loved when you named him TGF... why don't you do it again ?!? Let me improve my english with new expressions like this one !

OK. "TGF" it shall be. Just don't ask me to decide on the "F".

Any truth to the rumour that they might do a translation?

I may subscribe anyway. Unlike Playboy, I'd buy this one just for the pictures.

Liz · 20 Dec 2002, 19:13 (Ref:454435)

Fill in your own "F" -- 'fellow' will do for me.

I'd just like to see him OUT of my magazines!

P.S. I've thought of a way to spice up the USGP -- why not a TGF dunk tank? 3 baseballs with every ticket, and no throwing them at him directly.

10.000,-- per try, and 50% for Willi Weber.
