Race Threads.

Hey Guys

Just an idea, would anybody be interested in starting live race threads to discuss all the action as it unfolds?

Do not really post much, but could be a good idea as there seems to be a few decent posters on here?

Yeah, Daredevil, I did realise that right after I posted that comment. :P

Good idea.

I would be interested to know what sources of information, besides live TV, people rely on during the race.

I have the F1 2012 Live Timing App running on my iPad
http://www.formula1.com/mobile_services/live_timing.html

The live timing screen on my PC
http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/

and the McLaren pit wall commentary
http://www.mclaren.com/formula1?utm_source=McLarenDotCom&utm_medium=GroupWebsite&utm_campaign=Homepage_Button_F1

The above link is useful as it reveals more radio traffic than the TV. Last weekend Button radioed in to say that Vettel had opened his DRS in a yellow flag zone. Vettel later got a drive through.

After the race I wander off to the FIA media centre for more information

Yes, I have cross eyes.

Yeah we can always filter people if they become a pain

The usual is to just follow the live feed but for the race on Sunday I followed Hamilton coming through the field with the main commentary on and also had the live timing on my laptop. Worked well for me

Also I am more than happy to do the threads if everyone is alright with it.

Good luck!

I hope your able to control the stupid posts, from what I've seen there can sadly be a lot.

Guv_spur what a brilliant idea, a blow by blow account of Lewis taking the field to school, unfortunately this will not work as some of us seem to be watching re-runs of the 2009 season!
