F1 car bolted to Big One at Blackpool

Wicked!!

F-1 rules!

Pity they couldn't use a Williams/BMW car though

It would have been funny if it had valleyed.

I love it! Mixing the two things i love most... Coasters and racing. Thats awsome!

Arghh! I was just about to submit this to the news.

P.S. *cough*ferrari'sbetter*cough*
P.S.S. I also thought this was cool, At first I thought it was a joke when I saw it on another site but I was amazed when it was true. I envy that guy who rode!

Now if they put on a Honda, then that would be better.

It being a Jordan, I'm surprised it even finished the course.

It IS as bad as you think, and they ARE out to get you.

Yes, John Peck. Lets put a Honda on there. Maybe it would get better fuel economy.

Slap a 3400 pound Winston Cup car on there, then we'll talk. ;)

Yeah... it'd be refreshing to see one of those things do something other than turn left... and then left again... and then left again... and then left again... and then left again... and then left again... and then left again... and then... and then... and then... and then... left again...

Hhhmm......

Hahahahaha. I think you're all full of crap. Real drivers race for CART.

DELETED! What time does the water show start?

Jeff, you only say that because CART is the only series that races in Cleveland.

No, I say it because, while there's still a lot of technology around the drivers, they have courses that actually require skill to drive on.

DELETED! What time does the water show start?

Yes, it takes a lot of skill to parade around with absolutely no passing.

Only the oval series consistently provide competion that actually involves passing and close finishes.

The Winston Cup series makes left turns twice a year and consistently beats the road course specialists who come in to try to win those races. Add that to the fact that Jeff Gordon ran laps fast enough to get into the US Grand Prix at Indy in Montoya's F1 car.

CART is slowly becoming a poor mans F1, there is a reason all the teams continue to jump ship to the IRL.

My favorite racing to watch is likely WRC which bears so resemblance to any other form of racing out there.

However take the time to think about this, the NASCAR Winston Cup series races 38 weekends out of the year, from the first of February to the middle of November, on average each race is 400 Miles long and the race wekeend consists of 3 days at the track. One Sunday the race may be in California, the next Sunday in New hampshire. Name any other series that involves a scheduale as hectic and grueling as that. Also add to the fact that they do the things they do with technology from the 1960's and WC racing is pretty impressive.

On the other hand screamning V-12 engines that turn 20000 RPM's and are chock full of computer systems, involve travelling around the world, and carry prestige like no other series is pretty damn impressive as well.

To each his own I suppose, I just enjoy any kind of racing with the possible excpetion of Motorcycles and the Afformentoned CART.
