That surprises me - I'd listen to the current whiny engines to put me to sleep. I could listen to a DFV all night and still have a smile on my face and don't get me started on the Honda....

Can't explain it myself, just works...
Makes you wonder what effect the new V6 engines or Formula E might have on people and their their motivation to watch races. Sorry, I'm going way off topic here |

You go side-by-side with a stranger down the pavement, maintain roughly the same pace as each other and believe that the moment has shades of Senna and Mansell in Catalunya.

The joys of a negotiating a busy High Street on foot. Planning an overtake near Next that you won't complete until you're past Boots.
I would say that shows signs of needing to get out more, but perhaps not on a Saturday afternoon. |

When you call 'shotgun' for the front passenger seat and someone else takes it - you complain about Multi 21 all journey.
When you're driving and someone takes the front passenger seat despite it being called, you shush the person now in the back by telling them "He just wanted it more." |

When you're having a bad time of it and go in a taxi and you start to believe it's like Formula 1 driving. |

You give a race a '10' for the first time........

While having a look back through old threads to try and find out the fans' opinions on certain events at the time (which possibly could be used as an example for the topic), I stumbled across this brilliant thread, and decided it was worth a revival. I got 18/42.

That's weird you brought this one up BTCC frog, but it had occurred to me to revive it the other day when I noticed something:
When I saw myself putting headphones in on Zoom the other day, it reminded me of an F1 driver putting their earplugs in. |

- After it's been raining a while or stopped raining a while, you observe the road and wonder if you're at the crossover point between slicks, inters or wets.
- You don't respond to people with 'got it' or 'right', but prefer 'understood'. - When you taxi onto the runway on a flight, it feels like the formation lap of a Grand Prix. |

- You pass that car in front (on either side) as soon as there's a car's width + 1mm.
- You want to call a friend to tell them that the slowpoke in front is impeding and needs blue flags. - You hunker down in the seat and focus when you flip your steering wheel switch to "party mode" |
