This is a normal post boring boring boring sport
the thrill of speed is the danger, if there is less danger, there is less thrill.

ramp up the danger and the glory days will be back again

This is a normal post Danger for who?
You made me think of this though so thanks.

This is a normal post I agree to a point
The problem comes when safety is completely dispensed with. That's where you end up with three or four drivers dying a year.

Grand Prix: The Killer Years is well worth a watch if you can find it.

This is a normal post Read that as 'Krillex Years'.... o_O
Good watch though, the same program for the Group B rally seasons also.

The current crop of F1 (you can read all race spec drivers here) have enormous balls to do what they do, but in the early years they were on a par with Buster Gonad.

This is a normal post I hated the Group B one
It was clearly written by someone with little or no interest in the subject matter and utterly failed to grasp the reason people were turning out in hundreds of thousands if not millions to watch these races. Namely that it was really bloody exciting.

This is a normal post Agree on both points.
I didn't really pay attention to the opinions levelled in the commentary.

Enjoyed watching the footage and hearing from the drivers.

Stuff like this makes me shiver. 200mph in a tin can with a manual, no tcs, no abs.

Balls. Big ones.

This is a normal post but that's how it should be
at the moment its like watching a flat rollercoaster.

to be a multi-millionaire monaco dwelling daredevil motor racer you should have balls of steel and a devil-may-care attitude.

James Bond films are what they are because he goes out and risks his life, nobody would want to watch it if it was just him sitting in an office in vauxhall and typing out the odd report
