I was going to go to Oulton Parlk today its the Historic Oulton Park Gold Cup meeting. Instead I'll watch the Superbikes from Cadwell Park live at 12.30 on Eurosport.

Total washout Will. Decided against sitting in the rain for 6 hours odd. Gutted as the next race day now isn't till October and I can't do that one. Definitely going to get a track day booked though at Combe for next year so I can have some fun with the Zed on there. That's a shame mate. I just done 2 hours driving in it around town, no fun . Got stuck in the Notting Hill Carnival Traffic. 22 Police bikes passed me in a line. No seen ONE Zed..

Go for it Dave.....!!!!! :scare:

Happy Birthday Zep. Have a good one.

Lovely looking 911, Good Luck with the sale.

No knocking the picture, but how old! Advertising the PS2! No idea, Its on the official Spa 2014 site.

Welcome to The Land of Zed. Have a read through this : http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/22880-guide-for-new-memberspotential-buyers/

Nico's latest statement translated from German.. That was a tough race. Today, we had the pace to win. But the incident cost us a top result. I'm very disappointed because it was a bad day for the team. Our task as a driver is to entertain the fans and giving them a good show. That's why our duels are always at the limit. I'm very sorry that Lewis and I have touched us. But I look at it as a race accident - as well as the stewards. I was faster on the straights and tried it out, because the inner line was blocked. I tried it and noticed that my front wing was damaged after the contact. At first, I thought: that's it. Then I saw that Lewis also had a problem. That was very good for him and the team. We have assembled us shortly after the race, but there will be further meetings to prevent such races as it is today in the future.

Some nice pictures there Will and it must have been great to be involved with something like that. We also did the British F3000 Championship and British GT Championship with the same driver

That's impressive Will. That average speed equates to a 55 second odd lap time. Now that's quick. My best so far is a 1 minute 35 second lap time in my old Mondeo ST24 which is approximately an average speed of 70mph. Never took my old JDM Subaru Impreza WRX on there which would surely have been quicker because it always let me down. Definitely want to take the Zed around Combe though, ...maybe next year. We won the Championship that year as well. http://www.simonlewis.com/motorsport/Trimmer-Lola.htm

Thanks Will, weather doesn't look good I know but if it rains at least the racing will be more exciting and it will separate the men from the boys. My old Team did the first ever 120 MPH lap of Combe in the 86 Formula Libra Championship in a Lola T332 F5000 with Tony Trimmer driving.

Race - Brilliant Ricciardo Denies Rosberg at Spa-Francorchamps. Daniel Ricciardo clinched his and Red Bull's third victory of 2014 at Spa-Francorchamps on Sunday, while Mercedes' Nico Rosberg survived early contact with team mate Lewis Hamilton to clinch second and extend his championship lead. It was Ricciardo's third win of the year, his second on the trot, and the first victory for an Australian at Spa since Sir Jack Brabham triumphed in 1960. Williams' Valtteri Bottas passed Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen to seal the final podium spot, while Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel prevailed in a thrilling four-way scrap for fifth. As Red Bull celebrated, Mercedes had to deal with the controversy surrounding Hamilton and Rosberg’s collision on only the second lap. The Briton had got the better start and led into La Source, with Rosberg briefly dropping to third behind Vettel. Having fought back past Vettel, Rosberg moved on to his team mate’s tail and attempted to go round the outside heading into Les Combes. Hamilton had the line, however, and though Rosberg attempted to avoid contact the pair clashed, with Rosberg’s right front wing endplate slashing into the left rear corner of Hamilton’s car. The Briton suffered a puncture almost instantaneously, and that was it for his race hopes. As he lost huge amounts of time limping back to the pits and dropped to 19th, Rosberg took the lead but reported aero damage to his front wing which prevented him from escaping from Vettel and Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso. Ricciardo, meanwhile, had moved up quickly from fifth on the grid to pass the Spaniard on the fourth lap and then the German a lap later. Rosberg kicked off the first round of pit stops when he stopped for fresh tyres and a new front wing on lap eight, handing Ricciardo the lead - the Australian chased by Vettel and Williams’ Valtteri Bottas. Ricciardo and Bottas then traded the lead during their pit calls, as Rosberg had to battle in the upper midfield as Mercedes were forced to juggle with his strategy. In the end he made his final stop, for a set of soft compound tyres, on the 34th lap, rejoining in between Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen - who had led during the first cycle of pit stops - and Bottas. The latter initially passed Rosberg, but the German quickly fought back, passed Raikkonen and then set off in pursuit of Ricciardo. The Australian’s lead was slashed from 21.6s on lap 35 to 4.3 by the 43rd, but he hung tough and crossed the line 3.3s ahead of Rosberg, whose move on the second lap was roundly condemned by Mercedes team bosses Niki Lauda and Toto Wolff. Bottas was able to edge ahead of Raikkonen, but the Williams was 28 seconds behind Ricciardo at the finish. Behind them, Vettel, the McLarens of Kevin Magnussen and Jenson Button, and Alonso waged a fantastic battle for fifth place. Alonso, whose race was compromised by a five-second stop-and-go penalty because mechanics were still working on his Ferrari when the grid formation lap began, had been fighting Magnussen since the 36th lap, but the Dane resolutely resisted his challenge. One lap from the finish, however, Alonso attacked again along the Kemmel straight, only to be edged onto the grass by Magnussen - an incident which would earn the Dane a post-race penalty even as it set up a thrilling four-way fight to the flag. Button instantly attacked the delayed Alonso at Les Combes, only to then lose momentum behind his team mate, allowing Alonso to move back ahead. Vettel passed both and, on the final lap, attacked Magnussen at La Source before finally outfoxing him on the exit of the corner to take fifth. At the same time Alonso tagged the rear of Vettel's car and lost part of his front wing, which Button was able to take advantage of to snatch seventh. Vettel therefore beat Magnussen to fifth, but the Dane's subsequent 20-second penalty dropped him from sixth to 12th in the final classification. Sergio Perez drove well to take ninth on the road for Force India, while team mate Nico Hulkenberg finished 11th behind Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat - all three eventually scoring points given Magnussen's penalty. Felipe Massa had an appalling race for Williams compromised by early debris damage and couldn’t better 13th ahead of Jean-Eric Vergne’s Toro Rosso, and the Saubers of Adrian Sutil and Esteban Gutierrez. Max Chilton and Marcus Ericsson had a race-long fight, which ended with the Marussia driver just six-tenths of a second ahead of the Caterham pilot. Their respective team mates, Jules Bianchi and Andre Lotterer, were out of luck. The Frenchman cut a tyre when he collided with Romain Grosjean’s Lotus on the opening lap, while the German’s F1 debut ended when his Caterham stopped by the side of the track on that same lap. The same fate befell Lotus’s Pastor Maldonado. In the drivers’ stakes Rosberg is now 29 points ahead of Hamilton, 220 to 191, as Ricciardo closes in on the latter with 166. Alonso has 119 from Bottas on 110 and Vettel on 98. In the constructors’ points table Mercedes have 411 to Red Bull’s 254, Ferrari’s 158 and Williams’ 150, while McLaren move back ahead of Force India with 111 to 100.

Bottas drove a brilliant race, but again Williams let him down with a conservative strategy.

Great days racing, Enjoy Combe tomorrow, weather doesn't look that good though.

Cannot see Merc making such a fuss over it if it was. Bet the FIA will ask for the steering trace and you will see Ros took another "bit" just as he was level with his back wheel..! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The 2008 world champion added: "He said he could have avoided it, but he didn't want to. He basically said, 'I did it to prove a point'.

As above, PM Zmanalex. I know he had some.

Nico Rosberg hit me on purpose, claims Lewis Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton claims Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg admitted in a post-race meeting that he deliberately hit him during Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix. Hamilton's race was effectively ended when he suffered a puncture on lap two at Spa after Rosberg collided with him. The German went on to finish second, extending his lead in the championship to 29 points with seven races left. "We just had a meeting about it and he basically said he did it on purpose," said Hamilton. The 2008 world champion added: "He said he could have avoided it, but he didn't want to. He basically said, 'I did it to prove a point'. Hamilton said he was "gobsmacked" by Rosberg's admitting he hit him deliberately. "He just came in there and said it was my fault," added the Englishman, who returned to the race after having his left rear tyre replaced only to quit with just a few laps remaining. Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff has already said the incident was "absolutely unacceptable" and blamed Rosberg for causing it. "You don't try to overtake with the knife between your teeth on lap number two and damage both cars," said Wolff. "Lap number two of a long race, a crash between two team-mates. It is absolutely unacceptable." Asked if he could trust Rosberg on the track again, Hamilton said: "I don't really know how to approach the next race." Hamilton said that Rosberg had admitted on Thursday in a team meeting that he was still harbouring resentment over the team orders controversy at the previous race in Hungary. Hamilton refused to let Rosberg by, claiming they were both racing for victory, and said the team told him he had done nothing wrong.

Race 3 about to kick off. :thumbs:

This could cause a bit of agro at Merc..!!! Will Buxton â€@willbuxton 35m I don't have the exact quotes, but Lewis just told the print press that Nico admitted in debrief he deliberately hit him to prove a point.

Haven't seen that sort of thing happen in any race in years that I can remember. Was it Maldonado that hit Hamilton at Spa after the race a few years back..??

and points deducted in the Championship and maybe a race of two ban, nothing more than they deserve.

Yes well out of order...
