Can't see Ken letting that happen can you??

Can you see Schumacher et al queuing at a shop to buy the congestion charging tickets??

Sweet idea - but unlikely I feel!

ignoring the politics and road surface / furnature problems, i think it looks a fantastic circuit!!! Great combination of left and right corners that only a figure of 8 can provide. Tight corners, long(ish) corners, some straights leading with slow speed corners leading onto them and tight corners at the end which hopefully would provide some overtaking .....

I wanna see it!

3 trillion quid a ticket and hell to get there. burgers 14 quid a pop and an extra fiver if you want chips..........they would fleece the punters if it was a wun off....

Unlikely, but would be a great weekend , so many places to watch from, the cost couldn't be too high, and I'm sure Ken wouldn't turn down the chance to make his congestion charge break even

ok tuesday then if you want go split hairs,anyone fancy goin for a look see?


greggors84 - 29/6/04 at 03:27 PM

According to ITV F1 they say there is going to be more of a circuit run on tuesday, with one car at a time. Also Nigel Mansell is going to be driving a Jordan!
On the itv website they said they were waiting for ken livingston to be reelected before they started planning it. Maybe he is quite into it!


theconrodkid - 29/6/04 at 03:42 PM

i wouldnt use red ken and car in the same scentance,if he had his way we would all live in caves and walk to work in sandals


James - 29/6/04 at 04:41 PM

Deckman001 - 29/6/04 at 04:58 PM

Are they actually 'going for it' ?? as in flat out ? or just poseing up and down the road ?

greggors84 - 29/6/04 at 05:00 PM

Doubt they will be allowed to go all out, but im sure they will be doing a few burn outs and stuff. Im sure it will be worth watching.


thebutler - 29/6/04 at 05:31 PM

Probably be a bit like the hill climb at Goodwood. Montoya certainly went for it last year


theconrodkid - 4/7/04 at 04:46 PM

Ronin - 4/7/04 at 05:16 PM
