Years ago we used to race an imp . The engine ( aluminum ) was originally the pump engine on a fire tender ...Bit of trivia for you .

 

I lad I went to school with had a rally imp, awesone little thing, he had that sideways on the Stourbridge ringroad a few times. I thing he was related to a well known lady racer with the surname Stretton! More trivia.

i am not the biggest fan, but congratulations to him and the whole team, it is one hell of an achievement though

 

I agree. Trouble is its not entertaining at all.. And i'm an F1 fan...

sadly F1 has lost its sparkle not a lot of close racing as such and the tracks they are on are nearly the same. i wonder how vettle would have got on if he was about when hunt and lauda where racing or senna,mansall the pits side is just changing tyres not fuel everything is so electronic controlled yes got to be good to race one but rather see TT or superbikes or saloon cars much more fun

from the title I thought you had problems with an indian DR

yes its very clinical now - a technological boon but that doesn't make good racing - eg look how unpredictable it was in the pits a few yrs ago - its not as exciting anymore as Pete B said processional

Vettle has been fined 25k for doing those donuts at the end of the race!! Absloutly stupid if you ask me, it is a fantastic achivement and he is not even allowed to celebrate in his car! Sums up f1 at the moment really!

The donutting ban is an FIA thing across the board to be fair. Been fining rally drivers for years for it. It's so they don't promote hooligan (fun) driving.

I'm surprised with the amount of traction and slip angle control it even went round anyhow. Hahaha

yes a warning would suffice but its about 25p to him

I agree the drivers shouldnt make a habit of it but come on, that was an historic moment. Get a grip mr todt.
