Ran accross this gem on YouTube

not for the faint hearted as it is over 4 hours of racing at the 2011 eurochamps

Yes, I watched this whole thing.  See the Europeans are a little lax in early rounds.  But, being an ex wanna be F2C pit man I love racing, any form.   Thanks for the video link.

I've got that on a USB stick, but I haven't made it all the way through yet. I might watch a bit more today, actually. A good learning opportunity.

Must be about time to dig this one out again...
Probably just me but doesn't the Benny Hill theme go with just about anything?

Only tried Team race once, fell over after about 15 laps.  :-[ F2C pilots you have my admiration.

TTFN
John.

Incredible...
I watched the WHOLE THING at one time...
Less than a tenth of a second between first and second place after 200 laps in the final...that's racing in anybody's book.
The French and Russian teams were absolute Machines in this race...close to perfection.

Thanks for the link!

John,
Not the Benny Hill video again--I almost died laughing the first time! I'm the little short bald guy that finishs last--oh wait, that's in the TV show....
