thumbs up for a motorsports forum.

New '03 Rally season started this weekend.

ozt9vdujny3srf

aye you are right, motor sport forum is much better, rally is also teh leet, who does coverage for it on irish channels do you know?

I don't really follow rally but it is a great motorsport.

Typedef

Non tacit support for a forum about driving motor vehicles very fast.

Perhaps called the "driving stuff fast" forum... or the other option 'motorsports'.

Note: Use unleaded petrol or better yet, hydrogen fuel cell technology, if you can get 'the spooks' to stop suppressing the technology.

strat

yup yup
heartly endorse etc

Dont be at yourself

Would this not fall under the alraeady existing sport or motors boards?

ozt9vdujny3srf

it would kinda fall under sport, but i was thinking of something more specific, and motorsport has nothing really to do with motors

Karl Hungus

Thumbs up, could be a usefull board.

Well, tbh 'Motorsports' with teh rally and all that.
Monster trucks, and all.

^CwAzY^

And will the board actually be called 'Fromula 1' ?

ozt9vdujny3srf

Motorsports now, i will change first post

I'd support a hydrogen fuel cell Formula 1

who does coverage for it on irish channels do you know?

From last season, RTE just showed the Rally highlights on Mon or Tue night on N2
They dont have live rights to the Rally Championship.

IFFF I remember right, twas Peter Collins. Dont think there is many motorsport commentators in RTE.

i don't see the point of such a board, there's already a motor's board, u could just rename it to motors / motor sports?

Mistakill

i'll support it

irishgeo

i would like to see this board as i have a huge interest in motorsports espically formula 1.

ozpass

Would the forum include the technical side of motorsport? I've been building hillclimb/rally cars with my Dad since I was 6 and hence have loads of (boring) info. to spout on the subject.

I'm for it either way. Trucklester for mod.

ozt9vdujny3srf

yeh that kinda motorsports to :P

i like a bit of mudplugging myself

only ever seen hillclimbing on eurosport but its class.

ozpass

I'm actually talking about the Hillclimb/Sprint type of hillclimbs where you drive up a tarmacc'ed twisty hill and your run is timed. Pilbeam MP28 with 4.0 Cosworth DFV versus March MR9 Formula 5000 with 3.5 Judd V10 kinda hillclimb. Vroom Vroom!:p

If you create it I'll post some pics of Geoff Hammonds 1000+ BHP Audi Quattro Pike's Peak car (he's a mate of my dad).

ozt9vdujny3srf

omg, pikes peak u say, 1000bhp+ car u say.

for the love of god we need this board just for that one picture!

and mebbe an attached wav file of wat it sounds like:P

OZ, what language is that?!

Forgot to mention Gordon: I speak fluent Oil-Change.

Well its a hard choice. As Azezil said alot of things are discussed on the motors forum even the technical things relating this. This forum would have to come under the sports section though and not in the After Hours.

I think there would be enough traffic on this forum and even I would be going there but because of the motors forum it might not be the best things.

see what Dev says

ozpass

and even I would be going there

Runfree:

Based on your posting rate, if you spent 5 minutes a day on the board it'd have enough traffic to justify its existence. :rolleyes:

WellI was going to agree with Azezil and say that we should move the Motors over and call it Motors / Motor Sports...

but then I took a look into the Motors forum and its *jammers* lol... ( I dont drive so I rarely go there...).

I think this is probably a good board idea and I have juuuuust the mods in mind...

Citroen's 1-2-3 in Monte Carlo should give us plenty to talk about initally.
