Accommodation being booked tonight, in Munich for Oktoberfest
Need to start drinking beer again (pitty i have been working so hard to get rid of this beer belly) so look out schutzenfest!
which is in 1 months today, almost time to start arranging the yearly SAU "responsible drinking" day - due to legal requirements around my liquor license i must 'preach' responsible drinking blah blah blah
-
But if you have a pit pass you probably wont leave the start/finish area
Thats what I'll be working towards
Already sorted full factory team passes for Le Mans (not sure if i can make the race
) and the Hockenheim FIA GT round.Unfortunately the Automotive group that contract my company aren't in F1
All that means is I have 9 months to get a contact in a F1 team
-
Dont do Italy! Spa isnt much better for spectating.
Spa has been added to the start of my Euro Trip, working my contact for a Team pass with someone
don't think i will pull off the Italian GP as well, going to be hanging around Germany for September (Octoberfest and FIA GT at Hockenheim)

save a life at christmas
yeah keep her busy indoors so she doesn't get skin cancer
-
Belgium: 02 September
Italy: 09 September
Looking at being in Europe at this time, might need to run over to Spa from Munich

New 2012 'R8 LMS GT3 Ultra'
Talk that Mark Eddy may be looking at updating his 2010 R8 to this latest spec for last year.
Was reading up on the R8 LMS and it has some very impressive stats, in the last 3 years they have won 115 races and 12 international / national races!
The Lambo 5.2L V10 has a life of 20,000km prior to rebuilds, which isn't bad for a productions based engine with 570hp
Another new GT3 car due out in the next 2 weeks, but more on that later
-
The Gis was lucky to get away with the small contact with the GRM car
-
He's a Finn
What more needs to be said?
X2...
and one of the last true 'rockstar' F1 drivers
I can see Renaults sponsor Flagman Vodka getting extra stock on ice

My boy is back, albeit in black, but I'll take it
Once you go Black....

heard some talk from James Allen in regards to Kimi signing with Renault Lotus for 2012, with a swap to see Senna in the Williams.
EDIT:
Due to time from reading emails on the bus to work this morning and actually checking new sites:
Renault confirms Kimi Raikkonen will return to Formula 1 in 2012

Your Welcome Pete

I will ask around mate, not sure. Sled bought 2 of them off us, as Chops and Nikki obviously won't come anymore. But Sonia or Brownyn may not be keen, so you may be in wiht a chance. I will let you know.
I don't know anyone with spare tickets, I gave mine up with you after last years.
My dad has found people for his spare 2 seats
-
I've got a good seat but can't see much racing out side of the GT's and I find the Podium is a good place to stand for those races, always good company up there, this year it was 4 grid girls and Murray Walker
And Nightcrwaler and I were stars last year on the TV's... when filming the Model Parade we were in the front row
and here was our view
-
Next year should somehow put some money on the line! that'll make me not forget to me picks!
plenty of time to organize it and get more parties involved!
I would offer to donate some booze to the winner but laws ect in regards to that in case its a minor.. can't even give them a hat, oh well it can stay in my cupboard
especially this year with my 9 point lead (unless i really F* up the final round -
I'll take 2....
bargain

But for one lap it looks good.
well there were 3 458 GT3's in the top 10 at the end of the Sap 24hr this year, not bad for a car everyone seems to think won't last the 12 hours at bathurst

Race 1 from sandown.
http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?20/11/2011.SAN.R4
Hackett late to grid so relegated to rear of grid instead of pole.
Eddy spun the Audi on the warm up lap
Sandown looks like a good spot for the Viper to stretch its 8.3L legs, can't wait to see it next year after the parity police have gone
-
I had a good look over a 458 road car today. Can see where the race cars get their pace from.
Mr whiplash how much more power will the unrestricted cars have? And what is restricted on them currently?
When I mention no restrictions I mean running in actual FIA regs, at the moment all Aust GT cars are put the the dreaded 'parity' to dumb them down to make sure the gentlemen drivers are able to be competitive.
So as it ran over the weekend is how it will rock up to the 12 hour, although will more than likely be a tad slower with different compound tires and in enduro speck.
) and the Hockenheim FIA GT round.
especially this year with my 9 point lead (unless i really F* up the final round
