TMR Game – Week 32

Welcome to Week 32 of the Too Much Racing Game!

Apologies for the delay, I’ve been away and when I came back I was exhausted. I should have allowed a post-F1 rest day before returning to work!

Quick-Start

Racing this week:

IndyCar Series – Kentucky Speedway, Sparta, Kentucky, USA;
DTM – Brands Hatch, Kent, England;
NASCAR Sprint Cup – Atlanta Motor Speedway, Atlanta, USA;

Usual restrictions apply, pick up to 7 drivers in any individual race up to a maximum of 10 drivers.

The cutoff is Saturday 4th September at 4.59am BST (British Summer Time = GMT+1), that’s 11.59pm Friday night US EDT.

For the full results from Week 30, read on. Continue reading “TMR Game – Week 32”

Belgian Grand Prix – Audio

I had an utterly brilliant time in Belgium for the Grand Prix along with 10 fellow F1 fans loosely revolving around the Sidepodcast.com community. There will be plenty of blog write-ups across many sites from several of us over the coming days and I’ll do my best to point you to them. In the meantime, you should listen to this.

On Sunday night we came together and recorded our thoughts into a 26-minute podcast which is now available at Sidepodcast.

Between the group of us we covered:

– the rain

– the circuit

– the bumping into people

– the locals

..and much more besides.

LISTEN HERE

It really is a good listen and I think – I hope – we managed to capture our excitement at having attended the race, and having battled through the elements and won.

Hope you like it.

Apologies for those waiting for the TMR Game post, I’ve been too tired to catch up with it and will write it Thursday night. If you need to get an entry in beforehand please use last week’s post.

I’m Going to the Belgian GP (and London)

I am moments away from departing to London for the Sidepodcast Meetup at the Coal Hole, a pub on the Strand in Central London. Have a look at the link for more information and directions, and come along!

Wednesday is a day of rest and recovery from an expected hangover, and also for final last-minute planning.

Thursday, two cars will be ferrying 8 of us over to Spa-Franchorchamps for the Belgian Grand Prix! I am one of the drivers. Yet more people will meet us there to take our group up to 12.  I’ll be watching qualifying and the race from Eau Rouge. Yes, that one.

Please keep an eye on my Twitter account @toomuchracing, the Sidepodcast.com Daily threads and live commenting, and of course this blog, from now until Monday.

I am not promising much in the way of blog posts but the caravan site has wifi and I will have my netbook although our plans aren’t known yet, so we’ll see. I am also hoping to upload photos to my Picasa album if the connection is fast enough, but that might have to wait until I’m home.

You should not expect to see next week’s post until Wednesday, though I’ll do my best to get it done on Tuesday.
