Summer Holidays

8/8/2011

0 Comments

 
Well we are on Summer holidays which means Formula 1 mechanics are allowed to go home and see how many members of their family they still recognise, which must be lovely I guess. Unfortunately for race fans, we have a few weeks of waking up on Sunday mornings and having the arduous task of trying to think of what to do for two hours. Generally this is hard on me. It is kind of like the pre season, waiting to see if the racing is going to be decent. Unfortunately, this year we know that the racing is good but instead of watching racing we are waiting for cars to get back into their angry state in Belgium.

This is where the Summer holidays become a little more bearable for me. Because the next time 24 Formula cars get angry they will be doing it in front of me. That's right. I'm going to Spa and chances are that you're not. So, be jealous. While you dear reader, will be contemplating whether to take up golf, fishing or croquet over the next few Sundays, I will be trapezing around Europe before arriving in Belgium the on the 25th of July. While you are busy dusting, mowing the lawn, and ironing I will be wondering whether I should spent Friday the 26th watching cars ripping through Pouhon or Blanchimont. Maybe, on the 28th of August I will be cold, wet, hung over and broke but while you sit down for the end of the ads and the start of the race I will be 2 and a half days through a week.

    I am a race fan. I cannot claim to be an expert on anything, but as a fan I am apparently the most important part of the sport. So I assume everyone wants to hear what I have to say.
