Default F1 at Silverstone THIS Sunday...

The British Grand Prix is this Sunday running at Silverstone, the namesake color of my car! Too bad I dont have SpeedVision to watch...but then again I think its on at 5am or something like that. Just thought I'd share this with F1 fans...

Yup got up this morning @ 6am to watch pre-qualifying. I believe the race starts on Sunday around 6:30am.

yu888,

Have you tried calling att/Comcast yet about getting Speed for $5/ month? I pay that amount even including the digital box rental.

Gotta have my F1!

I HOPE the Formula One fans in our local Bay Area community were able to catch the GP of Britain. It was without doubt the most exciting F1 race of this and many recent seasons. Everything from side-by-side racing to thrilling passing and a total whack-job running out onto the Hangar Straight wearing kilts and carrying a "The World is About to End" sign. Neither Schumacher won and that was refreshing as well.

F1 rocks.

yeah, what was that crazy nutcase doing on the track anyways...i mean i would have been pissed if he had actually been hit by someone...not b/c he would be dead, but rather he would be splattered all over the track and at least one car....meaning the race would have had to stop. Glad he and his kilt were dragged to the side by security.

I am still waiting for the F1 track to get completed in Shanghai so I can attend their first F1 race in 2004.
