Awesome

I love Formula De (never played solo though! - do you have solo rules or "play" all cars?)

Excellent ! 

Reminds me very much of the old (Waddington's ?) game......Formula 1 Grand Prix ?

Happy memories. 

Cheers - Phil

It's a bit more sophisticated than that !

I'm sure it must be  ......Stroll on, that Waddington's game must be 50+ years old by now.

Cheers - Phil

Just played all the cars as per the normal game. There was a little bias, I sometimes didn't land next to a car which already had a point of body damage, just to avoid the chance of taking them out the game.

Happy memories, also. Had that game. I used to win this often - probably because I was the oldest kid within my group of friends and so, was capable of understanding it better. I recall the neat little plastic cars and the matching dashboards each player used to record speed, laps, brake wear, etc. I see there are used games for sale on E-Bay.

From what I can remember, Davy.....

If you weren't P1 or P2 on the start grid.....You really didn't have a chance.....Not unlike the real thing, I suppose.
I used to love watching F1 on the tele......It's just totally tedious nowadays...So I don't bother anymore.....Don't think I've watched it for the last four or five years.

Cheers - Mr Things were better when I were a lad.

Oh, remember that. Seemingly endless summer holidays playing that, Totopoly, Monopoly or, ummmm, I want to say Haunted House? Oh, and The London Game (years before we'd heard of Mornington Crescent . . .).

....Or playing 'Risk' with friends on wet Sunday afternoons.....Instead of kicking a football about on the local 'rec'.

Cheers - Phil

I have no pay TV - no Sky, no BT, no Netflix, no nuffing.

There's talk of the rugby Six Nations going behind a paywall again. I will miss that - just as I miss Test cricket and F1 - but it will still never convince to subscribe to any form of TV station.

Same here, Martyn....

I don't feel I'm really missing anything.

As you can see lots of overtaking possible in Formula De. Should be possible even on the Monaco track, which is on the other side.

Now trying g to find other tracks cheap. Seriouslky considering the Nuerburgring
