Today was the British Grand Prix! I’ve been excited about it for so long! Qualifying had set up an interesting grid, the weather was fabulous and all was good. Unlike Friday and Saturday, we were confined to one seat today in Village – part of the of new Loop section. This was a good place […]

Day 179: British Grand Prix, Friday

After a long-ish journey, we arrived at the circuit in time for first practice. It had been raining fairly heavily – enough for wet tyres to be needed. We missed a lot of the early action though and so didn’t see the Lotus or McLaren cars at all in that session.We watched this from Woodcote […]

Day 160: Still Waiting

You know the thing I was waiting for yesterday? I’m still waiting for it… annoying. As a result, I haven’t done half as much as I wanted, yet again. Still, a relaxing day is a good thing. We went out for lunch earlier, a quick carvery at the local place. Nice enough. The Canadian Grand […]

Day 27: On Which I Turn 30…

Well today was my birthday (still is, in fact, as I type). My cake, made by the wonderful Mrs Pitts, is below. The cake was a clue to the main present. The day consisted of opening presents, eating food, eating cake and eating more cake. I am now the proud owner of two beautiful canvases […]

2010’s Donington Park Formula One Circuit

Now, as you may or may not know, I adore Formula One. I visited the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in 2004 and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Silverstone has hosted the race regularly since the start of the F1 championship in 1950 and every year since 1987; it alternated with Brands Hatch between 1964 and 1986, […]

Formula One: Photos From The 2007 Season

I started writing this way back in December… but totally forgot about it. And with there being just over 22 days until the 2008 Australian Grand Prix, I thought it’d be a good way to generate a small slice of excitement! Here, then, are some wonderful photos from the 2007 Formula One season. Not every race […]

Little Things Of Amusement…

The highlight of this month undoubtedly was the British Grand Prix. Not that it was an exciting race (last weekend’s German Grand Prix far outdid Silverstone for that…), or produced an unpredictable winner (damn that Michael Schumacher and his dominance…) no, it was exciting for me in that it was the first Grand Prix that […]
