Hi everyone. I do hope you are all OK. I’ve been rather a busy boy in the last week – enjoying the one good week of weather that Copenhagen has, then I went to the Copenhagen Classic Grand Prix. Sadly I have had so many pictures to process that none of the ones promised will be ready until next week – where I promise a bumper edition of pictures ;)
We had a great time at the CCGP – it was held on closed roads around a big park in town and was organised really well. There were some fantastic and rare cars on display, which looked and sounded awesome. We had all the usual classes, with cars racing from 1947 to 1981. We saw Morgans, Jags, Ferraris, Alfas, Ford Escorts, Volvos, Porsches, more Porsches, and even some oddballs like a Mk. I Golf and an Opel Ascona.
But the best racing of the day were the Legends – Hot-rod style plastic bodied cars powered by 1000cc Motorcycle engines. The drivers in those races didn’t give an inch and when the winning driver forcefully overtook into the lead on the last corner of the last lap, there were massive cheers.
Also, because we had VIP tickets, I managed to bump into Emanuele Pirro at lunch in the marquee – he’s a super nice guy and we had a nice little chat. But the funniest thing was that a few places behind in the queue was HKH Prince Joachim of Denmark, who’s a keen racing driver. A prince queuing for his food though! Who would have thought it?
We all had a great time and finished the day off eating a meal by one of Copenhagen’s lakes :)
Links
F1’s a bit quiet right now, but I have found a few interesting things for you. Of course, we should start with Christine’s Driver and Team Rankings, followed by her Tweets of the Week.
Lara Platman of photofeature has posted her excellent Spa 24 Hours report – she really caught the essence of Endurance Racing, I thought.
VivaF1 have another Blogger’s Swap Shop running and it looks like a corker – remember to file your posts before Saturday, people!
Nick Heidfeld has posted pictures of the entries to his helmet design competition – and they are really quite interesting. WTF1 has collected some great photoshops from the AUTOSPORT forums of Nick jumping, too :D
The Circuit of the Americas have posted a time lapse video of the construction work for July – keep it up, we can’t wait for the Grand Prix!
BadgerGP has some great ways to pass the summer break, but it’s not that long anyway, so keep calm and carry on!
Steven has found some obligatory Sidepodspace info for us – there’s a meteor shower on the way, which sounds cool :)
Look what this man does to his wife’s Ferrari California – Mrs Goat would kill me if I did that!
The 2012 Indycar has begun testing at Mid-Ohio this week – Racecar Engineering has the scoop for us…
Finally here’s some awesome wave photography from Hawaii – I adore these pics and I have no idea how he gets them!
So that’s all from me – I’m off Go Karting tonight, so wish me luck and I’ll see you in the comments!
it's a new dawn. it's a new day.
Thank goodness. I have lotsa linkage to look at from Gavin. That's good. :)
The glacier cruise I went on did not get that close to it. It was a different line than the one in the video. I wanted to see what would happen when that wave got to the boat. They didn't look ready for that, either. sheesh.
Evening folks
Legends races are always great. I don't think I have ever seen a bad one.
Hi Leigh
Hi Steven,
How are you this evening?
Hi Leigh. Things still quiet, I hope.
I think if they had been much closer the ice would have flattened the boat
Yep - everything's been absolutely silent. Nothing going down at all thankfully.
I'm good. How is your part of the world?
Took a nap this evening and no disturbances and local businesses stayed open for the most part
Finally watching IndyCar from the weekend - I can't understand how poor the direction of the broadcasts are. These shows could be so much better if only for that.
Tomas Scheckter to sub for Justin Wilson
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/93701
Sounds good
A good choice for New Hampshire.
What do you think of the announcers, assuming you see the Versus feed?
Versus do the world feed - can't stand them. It's all too "buddy buddy" and chuckles in the booth. There is absolutely zero tension anywhere over the course of each race weekend, which pretty much nullifies every broadcast.
The tension is not something anyone can fake, but it would be so much better for the TV show if they had commentators who actually sounded passionate about what they were seeing.
By the way, my feed came from Canal + (a French channel)
...and the other thing. If F1 could manage timing splits for qualifying by 1990, then surely IndyCar could attempt it now.
There's no idea anyone is doing better or where they're running at all, because it's only recently that IndyCar put any qualifying timings on screen at all.
(/rant)
:)
eh? timings wer awesome last year, what happened?
I thought maybe I was being too hard on them, so I wanted your opinion. That main dude, Bob Jenkins is just clueless!
I don't like them at all.
yeah, it's awful. I really don't like the coverage. There's NO value in it.
In saying that, I've seen the same type of "buddy buddy" commentary in NASCAR. I just think it sucks all life from the broadcast and makes it difficult to watch. Even Legard is excitable compared to Jenkins.
They only showed timings on the website, but not in the actual TV broadcast (they would occasionally show a name with their best lap underneath). There are still no sector splits at all in the series.
They started showing laps early this year and it was described as an "innovation" by the series.
Gavin, if the two of you could really afford that car - not only have everything thing else paid of, all the food you can eat, the insurance, the fuel (gotta be the top -grade stuff), and the tyres for those things, and goto the F1 races with your pic of seat - everything she is not going to care a bit as you will have a matching set, ya frickin' oil sheik!
ahh right, so why not watch the splits online?
Because I'm only catching the broadcast now. They don't have sector splits online either. Just a map to show where they are on circuit with the full laptimes
oh.
I can not believe that I have 4 pages of raw data to sort though for just a silly blog about why Montreal should not go back to back with U.S. Grand Prix that are based inteh far southern part of the U.S.....
what's steven volunteered you for now?
I think my Swap Shop post might be a day or two late. As one might imagine, my head has been elsewhere in the last couple of days.
Oddly enough I had nothing to do with it
#blasphemy
awesome!
Hmmmm, if I went 2800 km eastward from the Middle of Paris, france, where would I end up?
lost?
Russia
Hmmmm, if I went 2800 km eastward from the Middle of Paris, france, where would I end up?
In my Blog, If I travel 2800 km from Gilles Villeneuve and head 2800 km southwest, I am still 32 km short from Dallas, Texas, the CLOSEST of the southwest cities in the US that had a Grand Prix....
Right folks,
I'm going to back to bed - good night
Sleep well.
No problem mate, I can fully understand.
Night Leigh
Night Leigh...
and I haven't seen anyone saying it's quiet since. muhaha.
YOU JUST DID - post!
♥
question for the comments. was it here that someone linked to a space thing about the earth once having two moons? and if so, was this common knowledge before now?
only ask, because listening to REM, i heard the lyric:
I'm pining for the moon and what if there were two side by side in orbit
so, now i'm wondering if michael stipe is from the future/an alien...
He is from the future, even though I don't know about the Earth/2 moon thing. I love Mr. Stipe. :)
I'm going through Watch the Throne previews right now, the new one from Kanye and Jay-Z.
Interesting.
moon thing: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/aug/03/second-moon-collision?CMP=EMCGT_040811
who? ;)
So many links and moons, so little time. :)
loving the daily links :)
hehe
I opened up to Jay-Z's music after seeing him in an interview about his book. Kanye I can do without. I'm curious about their 'collabo'.
Nothin' there for me, but it was interesting to check out.
#openmind
I did a few days ago. As far as I am aware the theory is new although Stephen Fry said on QI that there is another moon still in existence but I think it is just a little rock
I like the mashup album Jay-Z did with Linkin Park.
Steven's "pebble" Theory.....
I'd forgotten that. Just went and refreshed my memory. I like when disparate artists work together.
How did you get that?
Funnily enough at the Classic Grand Prix I saw a Ferrari Testarossa for sale for less than half the price of my Peugeot 207!
I haven't started mine yet - got pics to sort through first!
Morning all
How well do you know your Formula 1 history?
To learn about this and more events that helped shape Formula 1, get your copy of That'll be the Day: 365 F1 Stories (Part 2).
Look who just moved into my Tiny Tower :D

for non-kindle owning, kindle readers. now you can read books in your browser:
https://read.amazon.com/about
neatly circumvents apple's stoopid app store policies.
Indeed. My wife had a lot of trouble figuring that out last night - how to buy and read a book...
Gascoyne is talking about the midfield again: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/93705
He promised that last year though ;)
I have asked for a Kindle light for Christmas, is it December yet?
Remember now Amy - a Kindle is for life and not just for Christmas.
The one in the cover or a clip on one?
clip on one, my kindle doesn't take the one in the cover #oldschool
There is also an app you can download to your computer, I have this on my desktop http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_157068407_9?ie=UTF8&docId=1000425503&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=left-2&pf_rd_r=1TC5QMZHGH4GM6NHP96N&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=247465727&pf_rd_i=341677031#. The thing I think is great is that it remembers where you are in the book and whichever app you open (I have PC, iPod and Android App), you are at the latest page. It's fab for books like That'll be the day when you read them every day.
ooooh http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=QILIVE11 I WANT TO GO!
oh now that I've looked at the prices I think I'll continue just watching on TV :(
I just heard that I didn't get the job I went to an interview for. I got good feedback from the interview but the person who got the job had more skills on their internal computer system.
It just means that I will be available when a better job comes along. #thinkpositive
thats a great way of looking at it :) good luck with the next one when it comes along :)
Shame about not getting the job, but that is good feedback at least.
Those are high prices, I love QI but I think staying at home would be the best option
as soon as any event gets to three figures thats when I start thinking twice about going
Also at amazon.com here http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=sa_menu_karl3?ie=UTF8&docId=1000493771
Every interview is a step in the right direction. It's great they gave you good feedback though!
indeed. but the new app is a little more advanced i think. the integrated kindle store looks truly lovely. more about it here:
http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/09/kindle-cloud-reader/
yay for more lie-ins.
I have a somewhat job interview related dilemma in that it still looks like Pamela might not be able to come to Korea and my backup friend can't come if she gets the job she interviewed for today. Any of you lot able to get to Melbourne in October? :(
That looks wicked.

Hahaa... sorry Bernie, but this one could be out of your hands if the police are busy
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14476033.stm
Its not as if there will be many fans there since he priced them all out.
At any event he's involved in...
I will be interested to see the first app for the Kindle that allows another shop to sell books on their e-reader.
Good thinking.
Remember you are brillskills. If they didn't want you - there's something wrong with them and you don't want to work there.
normally I'd just call her friend but you know, desperate times, desperate measures :D
Sweet - just sorted my trains for the World Series race at Silverstone. Anyone else heading up?
So you have either cloned your friend or I hope your "backup friend" profits from this. He charge you for renting out his friendship.....
Oldly enough the idea of a "mercency friend" does not seem to bother me so much.....
cloning Pamela would be brilliant, then she could come to Korea and go to work at the same time :)
Careful Amy, I was already quoting from lines from the Police Chief in Blade Runner, you would not want me to send out Alex to retire your friend's clone after the Korean GP, now would you?
why not, after the GP the clone wouldn't be needed anymore :)
Alex, we got ourselfes a Nexus 7 roaming the streets.... Run a Volt Kampt to ensure it is the skinjob and retire when proven after the Korean GP.
I don't think I understand any of this...
I think I've tried to block all of Blade Runner from my memory.

You poor people..... Blade Runner points to the future in ways far beyond or present understanding. Considering we are really not that far off from robots looking and acting exactly like normal people.....
If andriods start acting like Sidepodcastlanders, the entire human race is doomed.
I do know about Blade Runner... but I may have been a bit out of context :)
Jordan... I don't know if you have a spare moment... But you might find this video handy...
http://vimeo.com/23285665
It contains a handy explanation of how to do the quoting thing :)
Me, on the Sunday I think
Oh darn - I'm only there on there Saturday
:/
I think it sends a worse message if the game goes ahead and there is still violence. Football>>more important>> people
It can't if no police are available though. This one genuinely is at the best of the local police distribution authority
Well I know kimster wants to go on Sunday, not had a chance to ask Mav if he's coming and if so which day suits him
I can go whichever day, best ask Mav if he shows up here
I'm pinned to Saturday I'm afraid
Anyone else going that you know of?
I may have a couple of spare tickets
Not a clue
We must ask around later, maybe even enough for a sidepodmeetup?
Could be a doer. I'm interested in exactly how much access there is at it.
Oh you can get right up close and personal with the cars when they are in their garages, not so much the Renault F1 showcar though. Last year there were about half a dozen of the grandstands open so you could just choose your spot. There wasn't too much in the way of catering and souvenir shops but there was a Renault store that sold clothing and other goodies
I don't mind that - I may pop around some of the garages as there might be a few heads I know that are on tour.
I have a feeling Mav blogged about it last year, let me check
Can't find it, maybe it was on the forum. I definitely remember him tweeting photo's while we were there
Are you planning to podcast?
No plans yet. I'm editing episode 4 at the moment.
Cool, hopefully I'll catch it later, must fly for now. cya :-)
See you later jackie
It's federer time!
Hey guys, not sure if someone's already posted...
This is the failed C4 submission for the tv coverage...
I think the BBC looked at and wet themselves at the prospect of C4 doing a better job!
http://www.graphicalhouse.co.uk/#/projects/channel-4
All out for 224!
Evening. :)
Were they after EJ's vote with all that yellow
FTA:
Sounds like Bernie, all right. :D
Some other points:
1. No red button hideaways? Unless they were planning to become an F1 network on Sunday, I don't see how that would be workable.
2. Ad-funded content. Well, I guess it's better than a paywall.
3. Educational outreach through F1 Academy projects - well, good on them.
4. Highlights shows: from Vettel to Hamilton? That's not such a wide range, is it?
5. 20 hours of archive shows: That would be a treat! If they could pay for it.
Great find, RCC!
Maybe they were after Eric Boullier's. :D
Wow, they should've won.
Even if it was the best thing we'd ever seen, people would still have hated the ads though.
I feel slighty tainted it came from PF-1
Runs and hides in shame...
Do any of you ever listen to the F1.Blog podcast?
Everything else is secondary to the cash, though, isn't it?
I think people would've lived with it if somehow this got announced today, after everything we went through with Sky. Even less would mind if they can adopt a split-screen approached (such as that used in Spain) for ads.
Only BBC has a red button
F1 needs to make use of its archive
hehe
F1 human nature?
They're not totally useless after all, then. :)
Listened to it once or twice, but didn't get hooked.
By using E4 or More4
change = bad
Not regularly but I have heard some. I need more hours per day to listen to all the shows I like
Not even ITV has one? Oooh. Didn't know that.
Not sure how a limited C4 budget would've convinced Bernie to go with it.
Sadly so

New pics from the Mars Rover

Split screen is not an option. By law editorial and advertising must be clearly separated
I don't know about that, they do it in the US and it seems an excuse to take more commercial breaks
ditto I have that problem!
I quite like them, they're in the essential after race podcast review list along with SPC.
Good thinking
I listen to every one!
As long as I can see what's in the picture and I have 5Live talking me through it, I'd live. Too bad Steven says it can't happen in the UK, though.
There's a great one in New Scientist this week....
I use an amazing site recently reading up on all the Apollo missions..
It doesn't look much but it's the most comprehensive site I know covering all aspects of the missions...I've been reading the technical debriefs this week....nice 400 odd page pdf's for light bed time reading :-)
On another note, that's some AMAZING pictures from Darren in the brochure.
I quite like Mark Hallam....sounds a spitting image (if poss) of my friend...and he lives near the 'ring' not fair!
Oh the site link!
http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/frame.html
Apollo goldmine!
I hate ads. Mute is my friend.
Do you have a link for that? I'd like to see it.
It took the little guy 3 YEARS to get to that crater? I don't buy meals that take longer than 4 minutes in the microwave. I could never be a Mars Rover.
It was very kind of NASA to perform this test for Eric before Sidepodtrek begins.
@NASA_Johnson Chefs across the globe - baker’s yeast is aboard the ISS - Researchers will grow yeast samples in petri dishes and observe changes.
Amazing that the rover is still going
hehehe
Maybe he has connections...... or he's on a roll. Or he has dough.
Looks like most of the rest of Mars that we have seen so far.
Has everyone seen how the next Mars lander is going to land. I am sure they could have made it more complicated and given it more chances to fail if they had really tried.

Link please. Christine needs this because she only just figured out more than one man went to the moon.

:)
There goes another few days of my life
It was only meant to last 3 months. THe other one has packed up after 5 or 6 years
That cheesy music... did Enya design the lander?
Yeah, there's an awful lot of steps to that. So much to go wrong.
:)
I know they need to get rid of the heat shield and the retro rockets but lowering it on wires then asking all the wires to detach is unnecessary complication
That seems designed to fail, why have the hovering thing (which looks really unstable) if you're just going to fling it away and crash it?
Did we know McLaren's has a Twitter feed for their GT team?
http://twitter.com/#!/12Cgt3
@12CGT3
They do that so that it lands on the surface on its wheels then they can blast away the retro rocket module. THe retro module is there to slow the landing speed. Without it the whole thing would just get buried in the soil. THe hovering is an optical illusion. Think of it as being a parachute that can be detached as soon as contact is made with the surface and does not get tangled up with the mission
News to me
Love the tag line

Good evening
Ping: http://sidepodcast.com/post/nothing-compares-to-you
in what sense.
interesting that nowadays it's ferrari scared of the internet and mclaren trying out everything it has to offer.
quote fail:
in what sense?
Look how McLaren uses the net now with twitter, live data etc. The team's image has been totally changed by it
Today I got 2 of the Steve Matchett books that I ordered (Mechanic's Tale and Life in the Fast Lane) from 2 different UK addresses, one in NW London, the other in Reading.
Yay. :)
And I also downloaded both of the ereaders mentioned earlier, so I may not have that many paper books in my future.
That will save on the shipping costs
ooh, christine has this eb... never mind.
Are you ever off duty?
I already bought Christine's first book through iTunes, can I load it into either ereader? how?
intend to work as hard on plugging the book, and you did writing it.
oh, err, you could buy it twice...
;)
I can, I just want to know if I'm missing how to do it.
intend to work as hard on plugging the book, [as] you did writing it.
different standards, different companies. underneath they're different books. plus you have the itunes one, which has a ToC :)
the only reason I got any ereader at all is for Christine. :)
yay :)
My blog is looking nice and refreshed if you fancy a little look: http://northernwaffler.wordpress.com/
I like the black, RG. Looks really nice.
Indeed, quite impressive considering most of the selection from Wordpress.
Well done.
I have always liked white on black. I find it a lot easier on my eyes but I know Mr C disagrees. But since they are my eyes I don't see why he should get a say
:)
I thought you were talking about the chequered flag for a moment... which is obviously black squares on white, so there! :-P
:D
heh
things i did not know about 5live's natalie pinkham, #1. she is in fact, ewan mcgregor:
http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/8yo6z3rOwGN/Ewan+McGregor+Zara+Phillips+Cowes+Week
He looks so different like that. I had no idea sailing involved so much sitting on your backside doing nothing
and dancing, also important: http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/8yo6z3rOwGN/Ewan+McGregor+Zara+Phillips+Cowes+Week/iM2Im0INHWU
Clearly I have a lot to learn about sailing
via @manipef1. channel4's pitch to bernie: http://www.graphicalhouse.co.uk/#/projects/channel-4
with pics from darren heath.
That was posted here earlier
doh! carry on then.
No harm in linking to it again. It gives a different shift the chance to see it
I think if they had the right balance of ad breaks, they'd have produc really good coverage. What Ch.4 produce is usually of a decent level
i don't really get what the pitch is, if i'm honest. is that the ads they'd run if they had the chance or something? doesn't say "x hrs per week, hd and the following presenters".
I think those were just the slides for the pitch
after all the Top Gear-F1 rumours surround the return to the BBC, I could probably live without the Scrapheap Challenge-F1 theories
hehe.
I wonder what other C4 programs could do F1 related shows?
All I'm saying is thank God they aren't doing Big Brother anymore.
since half of the channel's programs already involve a Carr, it's a no brainer
don't know much about c4, but their homepage is promoting 'temper tantrums and biscuit raids'. so i guess they had montoya lined up for commentary duties.
ooh, digging up old race tracks with time team.
fly on the wall documentary with tilke in austin for the next series of grand designs?
I love that show, the few episodes I've been able to DL over here.
i have no idea what "Fonejacker" is, but could they rename it "FOne Jacker"?
relocation, relocation... the team help bernie find a new country to host a race
:D
hehhehe!
Shameless... gritty drama about Max
the Countdown clock at pitstops could be fun
:):):)
Bernie would like Deal or no deal
genius.
:-)
I'm thinking maybe Flavio Briatore, Nelson Piquet jr, Pat Symonds and Witness X for a bit of Come Dine With Me.
How Clean Is Your Pit Garage?
Nick Heidfeld could do and episode of the Big Bang Theory after his last race
fantastic ;)
ha :)
have no idea what that is, but i can flavio buying the nightclub in hollyoaks and eddie playing his spoons in the corner.
Gear'Selecta!
Come Dine with me has 4 people who claim to be great hosts and cooks each hosting a dinner party for the others who slag off their house, cooking, personality etc and the expert host annoys all their guests while making a mess of the food too
ooh pat. the great wall of organised awesomeness™ has you down for daily duties today. i have no idea if this is correct, i'm only as wise as the wall lets me be.
They wouldn't have a midfield, they'd be The Inbetweeners
Its quite possibly the best show on TV.
Come Dine, not Hollyoaks.
What really makes it is the sarcastic voice-over, doubly so for 'celebrity' editions
:D
Ah. I may have forgotten. Thanks. :)
ah! that's made for eddie and flavio :)
The PIT Crowd
heeh!
And the experts saying that they have never made the dish they are cooking before while sitting around casually talking to the camera because they have loads of time and don't need to prepare too early. THen dinner is an hour late.

You know Christine is going to complain about fun happening while she is sleeping again
EJ is made for Embarrassing Bodies. Although in his case only his mouth and clothes are embarrassing
Blame Hamilton, he started this game weeks ago with Da Ali G Show
hehe. i'm gonna make a post once we run out.
:)
:D
The Daily Show with Jackie Stewart?
Pushing it, maybe.
Good plan.
Once we have done Channel 4 there is the option to look at what other channels could offer
Nothing wrong with pushing it a bit
We could also try to find jobs in F1 for some of the personalities on 4 like Heston Blumenthal or Gordon Ramsey or race suits by Gok Wan
I forgot about the Million Pound Drop but they would need to increase the money before F1 got interested
Big Fat Ickx-y Wedding...
i think for a post, i need the shows as a title + sales pitch. so mav's was idea:
relocation, relocation - the team help bernie find a new country to host a race
list 'em and i'll add them.
Deal or no deal - Sorting the calendar and the cost of holding a race
excellent :)
by opening boxes?
Jenson would be no good at Deal or No Deal - he'd stop at the wrong box
Exactly. Bernie gets to choose the boxes. The only difference is he wins the jackpot every show
:D
Hah.
Then he'd agree a deal and change his mind
Come Dine With Me - Flavio Briatore, Nelson Piquet jr, Pat Symonds and Witness X all cook and host for the right to win £1,000. How will Briatore's burnt Margarita pizza go down compared to Piquet's burnt contract with roast potatoes?
:D
Haha!
brilliant! pat, do you have a sales pitch for how clean is your pit garage?
:D :D :D
Hi Amy. You join us as we are trying to connect F1 and channel 4 programs
Kim and Aggie take their marigolds and dustpans down to the F1 pitlane, we all know McLaren are the cleanest but who will have the most unhygienic pit garage?

I also got quite distracted by that tennis game last night and all of a sudden it was 5am.
