had to share this. (v8 supertaxis.com) JASON Bargwanna and Shane van Gisbergen have been voted the dirtiest drivers in the field by their peers, according to the recently published Auto Action 2011 Drivers Poll. The yearly poll, in which all 28 V8 Supercar drivers vote on various views, found James Courtney the most underperforming driver of the year, while his teammate Garth Tander was rated the fairest driver of the year. The majority of drivers felt the standard of driving had improved this year, but they didn't believe that the stewards been fair and consistent.

that kit looks good, it would probably be cheaper to do that than convert gts-t brakes. what about the rear?

Mark IV brakes?

i found where martin brundle got his source for that kimi rumor, Andrew Benson (BBC Sport online F1 editor) posted it on twitter. http://twitter.com/#!/andrewbensonf1

sob

kimi's not going to williams???? please tell me martin brundle full of shit.... what a boring qualifying, i hope the race isn't that bad.

brake rotors and pads first, dont be one of ''those fanboys'' that think they need brembos to be fast.

goodbuy ''The Lag Meister T78-33D 1JZ Snoarer '' hello ''Resto-moding my supra'' (soon to be supra 6262 of lag).

needs subtitles. ''oi you, yes you, your a cunt''

update on Kubica. so he's out for the start, we'll probably see him in friday practice. Nico Hulkenberg wants all or nothing. i will be very surprise if the hulk and dan don't have drives for next year, they have shown they are very hungry and very talented imo. p2 Times 01.

more on Kubica, his manager has denied that the Pole told Renault he cannot race next season. Jonathan Neale has something to say about the honda rumour.

yep i can see it now a subpoena for documents or records, insurance company looks through the records, ''you were doing 63kmph in a 60kmph zone 3km before the accident no cover for you'' but they'd say it in some lawyer talk.

^that was at the old sandown gp track, if you look close you can see peter brocks torana. as for Jean-Eric Vergne, there's a big difference between ''testing'' and ''racing'', for one you don't have to dodge lewis hamilton.
