Good day everyone. How's everyone coping with the current F1 season hiatus? Yeah, me too. But worry not, because this channel from Justin.tv shows continuous coverage of Formula 1 races from past and present for those of you suffering from withdrawal symptoms. The only thing is, it tends to bring up ads - both pop-up and over the screen - so you might have to either put up with it or refresh your screen a couple of times.
As I write this daily, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is in full swing. So far I've seen Dave Gorman, Hardeep Singh Kohli, Tim Vine, Andi Osho, Andrew Lawrence, Shappi Khorsandi & Henning Wehn show their comedic talents upon the stage, and this Sunday I'll be seeing Sarah Millican & Andy Parsons at the Assembly Rooms. If you've not had a chance to see the sights and the talents in Edinburgh, don't worry, there's always next year. And the year after that. And the year after that. And the year after... well, you get the idea with that.
The good news motor racing-wise is that since the Hungarian GP at the end of July, there's been a steady stream of other motorsport events that have graced the world stage, which goes to prove that the world doesn't begin and end with F1. The first event I've watched on TV this month was the British Touring Car Championships at a re-designed Snetterton, a circuit which lies between London and Norwich. It's a 3-mile circuit, which brings us to the first pub quiz question of the day:
1. Is the new Snetterton circuit longer or shorter in terms of miles/kilometres than the Spa circuit in Belgium? Answer at the end of the Daily.
Each BTCC race meeting consists of a qualifying session on Saturday and three races over the course of Sunday afternoon. Pole-sitter and reigning champion Jason Plato won the first race of the day but he didn't cross the line unscathed: he was involved with an incident with long-term rival Matt Neal when Plato spun him off on lap one. There's no love lost between the two drivers, who have clashed on several occasions over their time at the Championships (maybe I'll do a montage of clips based on that rivalry one day). Race two of the weekend adopts a reverse-grid policy, meaning the top 8 finishers in race one is swapped so that whoever finishes 8th starts on pole in race two, whoever finishes 7th starts 2nd and so on. In this case, it was Scotland's Gordon Shedden who was victorious. In race three, where the top eight finishers in race two is entered into a draw and whoever's name is taken out of a hat starts on pole, Mat Jackson took the spoils. Imagine F1 adopting that qualifying system?? At the end of the race meeting, Mat Jackson leads the overall standings for the first time in his BTCC career with four rounds to go.
Also in the offing was the IZOD IndyCar Series, first in Ohio and then in New Hampshire. Justin Wilson injured his back during the qualifying session in the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course after running wide and riding over the very nasty off-road bumps, forcing him to sit out the next few races. New Zealand's Scott Dixon took the pole and went on to win the race, helped no doubt by overtaking his teammate Dario Franchitti of Scotland about 20 laps from the end. The following weekend saw the IndyCars race at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway at Louden. It was overcast with the threat of rain present throughout the day. Eventually the race was red-flagged five laps from the end due to a pile-up caused by a damp track and Ryan Hunter-Reay was declared the winner. Drivers and team-owners alike were very unhappy that the race was allowed to restart because of the questionable grip levels and the obvious drizzle seen on the on-board cameras. And now for our second pub quiz question:
2. Which ex-F1 driver will be taking part in the next two IRL races in California & Maryland in place of the injured Justin Wilson? Answer at the end of the Daily.
And finally, by the time my next Daily is released, the F1 drought will have ended and the Belgian GP will have been and gone, which leads me to, not a pub quiz question, but a pub prediction question:
3. Will it rain during the Belgian GP? Answer at the end of the Daily.
So until next time, toodloo for noo.
P.S. I need a new PC.
ANSWERS:
- Snetterton is shorter than Spa. Snetterton = 3 miles/4.83km, Spa = 4.35 miles/7km
- Giorgio Pantano, who raced for Jordan for most of 2004.
- Yeah, probably.

I got home just in time for Thursday, it appears.

This is that silent dragster Gavin linked to - it's where my dad drag raced! (Lebanon Valley, NY)
The silent dragster is a horrible idea
I don't have an opinion about that yet. I thought it was cool that I've spent many a Sunday there getting ice for the cool can and checking tire pressures. :)
It certainly leaves something to be desired when it leaves the line, that's for sure. Gavin is right, it is freaky to see it go with no noise.
i don't object to it. i'd imagine pitlane commentary would be much more bearable with electric cars.
Imagine that with a big V8 sound track. It would be much better
That's what Max said. He was stunned when Nigel Roebuck told him fans like the noise
i agree with max to a point. it's weird because it's different. is it bad? not sure.
Maybe the trackside speakers would suddenly have a purpose, imagine being able to hear them.
There is nothing to beat the sound of a bunch of racing engines revving hard
true enough. also, no more track closures due to noise problems.
I've seen the top fuel dragsters and funny cars at night. It shakes the whole place and your whole body and you see the exhaust shooting out of the headers. It's to be missed. And I can't imagine it silent. Whoa.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzTB0vxprgs
personally, if i had netmix, i'd probably turn them down a bit: http://sidepodcast.com/post/pump-up-the-volume-giving-the-audience-control
Tyre companies would get a load of grief to cut tyre noise
you can hear an f1 car 5 miles away. you can't hear f1 tyres 5 miles away.
I have never been to a drag race meeting. THey look spectacular enough on TV and the power figures are scary
Lime Rock could race on Sundays. Now the church across the street says no due to noise.
Imagine you had Legard or Allen commentating
hehe. crofty up, davidson down, brundle up, coulthard down. perfect.
But when all you hear is tyre noise it sounds awful. People at the track would moan about the annoying sound of it
I thought you liked Ant
not to be missed. :)
Will it rain during the Belgian GP? Answer at the end of the Daily.
it has to. a wet hungary and a dry spa just isn't right at all.
i do, i was selling the idea to you :)
:D
A dry Spa this year could be good. I hope the tyres behave the same as the Nurburgring tyres
I'll be soooo mad if its dry simply because I've still not recovered from last years rain
It would be like the karting in Birmingham which Alia organised. That sounded really odd with just tyres squealing. You got used to it but all the same, I don't know I ever could at a 'proper' track.
Good job on the Daily, Colin. You are out-toomuchracing me.
as a non-karter, i'm not sure the lack of noise had occurred to me. interesting.
Has to rain. Got to.
:)
I wasn't paying much attention to the noise there but when you watch that dragster vid and listen to the tyre noise it sounds terrible
I won't feel bad about not going back if its pouring
I still want to go anyway.
its a bit easier for you guys than me :D
Not once you move to Europe
im not sure why you think thats happening :)
Has to be cheaper than annual flights
True and maybe could've gone GA if I'd planned ahead, certainly not grandstand at those prices though.
What I'm doing instead is hopping on a plane to see a commenter at the other end of a cheap flight. :)
i don't come annually!
Yet
this isnt like a guest post, you cant volunteer me that easily :D
easier, but still in no way, easy.
I don't have to. So when are you planning on moving
I think not planning ahead is not in the British DNA, its the only reason I can think of that I manage more races than you lot.
I'll be moving from my desk to the kitchen for a cup of tea in a couple of minutes
we could afford to go to as many races as you if we didn't have to pay for sidepodcast ;)
not saying we would, but we could. #notplanningrulez
How long have you been planning for that?
♥
I've been at work 49 minutes :)
Other things to pay for.
And you get a break already?
personally i am happy you pay for sidepodcast, i am content to be your roving correspondant :)
if i hear anyone complain next year during wimbledon that they wish they were there i may jump out my 14th storey window.
but i don't wish i was there until it's a nice sunny day and i know that i don't have any other plans.
that happens about 2 hours into the event at the earliest.
Ah see I did plan ahead for the Olympics, but then I lost the lottery thing.
you're definitely not the type to go 'ooh i wish i'd planned that 8 months ago' though :D
thats understandable. there'll be hundreds of thousands more tickets available later in the year, perhaps another try?
I thought they'd all gone, we've had the second chance sale and everything
ah no. never.
they've been holding tons back because they had to finalise seating layouts and where the cameras will be and things lke that.
It isn't the first thing you do when you get in? It is for me. :)
Ah right
first order of business today was a bowl of cereal :)
In terms of lack of planning it is taking a surprising amount of willpower to not suddenly go to Silverstone for the Renault thing despite the fuel cost. Need to get to a track again. Not sure I can wait for the Le Mans series in a month.
Would it not be cheaper and easier for you to go to Thruxton or Castle Combe?
Yeah they are both nearer and club events will be cheaper I'm sure. I keep forgetting to check Combe's events. Thruxton I gave up on because they can't be bothered to publish anything other than race dates, and ignore what will be there.
Part of the reason to go to Renault WSR is the other people who are going, Jackie, Mav, maybe Lou.
I'm going to the LMS anyway because last year was fun and hopefully this year McNish's car won't die in the first hour.
Could go to this on Bank Holiday Monday.. http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/events/display_event.asp?EventID=287
I've only been to Combe once and that was for historics.
Isn't there a BARC website that covers a lot of the racing at both tracks
That always helps
Because I'm weak and undisciplined I may end up at all three. :) Really I need to clear an overdraft.. but winter is coming and there's no racing then until Rally Sunseeker in February.
Interesting batch of races
BARC only covers Thruxton. The list for Thruxton just says "Club Cars".. could be anything.
Visiting the site reminded me of Gurston Down hillclimb.. I've never been to a hillclimb (a proper one not Goodwood) and there's one on the 28th.
I think tomorrow night I'll be making a list of what's on for the rest of the year and their costs. To be fair the ticket prices aren't worth thinking about, the real cost is travel.
I forgot I'd planned to do lost of smaller events this year, that hasn't happened..yet.
Oh that's Belgian GP day, can't do that :)
Is the climb through Eau Rouge not a hill climb?
:)
great return road too
Time for sleeps, bye..
I have been talking about going to the hillclimb at Doune in Perthshire since the 80s. Haven't made it yet
Night Pat
I guess it would be interesting to have the F1 cars start each lap from La Source from a standing start.
On another note. Senna has finally been announced and listed at local theaters. Friday is the day.
There's another near here, not as big as Gurston I think. Keep meaning to go but never have
Maybe I should move to Europe, the cost of a one hour flight in this country is stupid. Stuuuuupid! This may be why after 3.5 years here I have only just booked my second domestic trip.
:)
For me, a 1 hour (60 minutes) flight can be a borderline decision between drive and fly. Considering door-to-door time it often comes out quite close. My 1 hour flight would be YUL-YYZ (Montreal, Toronto). If I am in the east, it's a 4.5 hour drive and the flight, security, rental, etc. is 4 hours. The extra half hour is well worth the hastle of flying. I will admit my petrol is "only" 1.35$/L
I would loooove to roadtrip to Sydney but I don't have a car and I probably wouldn't make the 11am start of play :D
Sydney... from....?
Melbourne :)
Yeah, that looks to be a bit of a long-haul, especially given that you don't have a car. Personally, if it could be done non-stop, i.e. on one tank of gas, it could be tempting. Is that ride scenic (partially)?
Is that 11am tomorrow or yesterday? (or the day after tomorrow? :-) )
to be honest I have no idea. Scenery is bad when I'm driving anyway because I can't look at it as well as if I was a passenger.
11am on the 16th of September :D
You have plenty of time!
What does a liter of gas cost down (up?) there?
that I'm not entirely sure of either since I pay no attention when I walk past. And I can't even tell you what a litre costs in NZ because when I get petrol there my dad is generous enough to pay for it :D
Good God! $1.35 !!!!, on yeah, freckin' Quebec sales taxes. You know, a hour's drive would put you in Ontario's cheapest gas area around Ottawa....
Have you metnioned that YUL-YYZ is about a 5 hour drive for most people and a 1.5 hour drive if you got "Quebecor" speed?
Melbourne to Sydney takes 9 hours 52 mins to drive
http://www.auinfo.com/australian distance calculator.html?from=Sydney&to=Melbourne&locale=en&submit=Find+Route#
I drive through the Hawksburry (ON) - Grenville (QC) corridor a bit. Grenville gets the benefit of ON prices, being a 3-5KM bridge ride away. I did some regular work in Hull (now Gatineau) and the prices were about the same.
Probably poorly explained If I am to travel from here to eastern Toronto (anything east of the DVP (Don Valley Parkway (407) ) ), I would rather drive the 4.5 hour than (door-to-door) fly the YUL-YYZ + rental etc.
I once did a stint at the UofT, quite downtown Toronto, and it took me 2 hours to get off the DVP on to the "Highway from Hell" 401. The traffic was 40-50-60 KM/H to KINGSTON!!!!!! Needless to say, after that all the Belle Province plated cars were doing nothing less than a ton (160KM/H) until the crappy Quebec roads put a stop to that!
If the race track came first, that is the problem of the person who bought the house adjacent to it to deal with the noise. There is a reason why the house is "cheap"
If I had my way, there would be two sets of parallel runways at heathrow too, and they would be longer than the ones at H-4 in Iraq. or four times the current lenght. - Gotta get ready for Virgin's Spaceflights you know....!
Wasn't there some sort of upraor of a thrid runway at Heathrow, a few years ago? (sort-of the imte when the BA 777 fell out of the sky due to fuel / moisture freeze up)
Isn't this something I said months ago? Or am I going (more) nuts?
Google Maps says from my house to the Golf Club where the tennis is is 878 km, 9 hours 45 mins
Fourth not third
It is one of those things that comes round every few months
Considering I had no idea where yo were going from or to then my 7 minute error is not too bad
very good :)
I didn't actually realise it was that long. still would be a fun trip though, but I really enjoy driving :)
I play neither tennis nor golf... that is not my quote.
i play neither but watch both :)
Isn't it Melbourne to Adelaide that is the scenic route?
NASCAR is boring enough. INDY ovals, don't get me zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
Well, based on the original plans, there are four runways at Heathrow. - at most two can be used at any one time as airport alyout is in an old pre-war triangle layout. the runway parallet to the runway at the base of the triangle cross the other two runways at the tip of the triangle.
It was in a discussion about airports, if I recall. The airport in question, like Silverstone, seem to have been coverted into a race track, it seems. :P
As to being nuts, well you live in the area of Tundraland that can have snow in May.... My snowfall is gone by then... so....
Looking at Google maps, YUL is set up in a similar way..
A 4 RW setup would turn it in to an LAX sort of setup. Two runways in arrivals mode (e.g. 1 and 3) and two in arrivals mode (e.g. 2 and 4) this can allow different separation between the two modes.

I just sort of like having eight planes land at the same time on all runway configurations and really watch the ATC'ers sweat.... as well as the aircrews...
that rings a bell. New Zealand scenery has set a high bar for everywhere else I go though :)
What the heck was a Spirit-Honda ?
Spirit was a 1980s team. When Honda returned to F1 in the 80s, Spirit was their first customer, before moving to Williams.
Have you been watching races on Justin? :D
Spirit was an F2 team that moved to F1 with the first Honda engine. THey only had it for a year though. Stefan Johansson drove for them. 1984?
1983. They started their relationship with Williams midway through 84.

I see Tony Fernandes has bought 66% of QPR. He now owns Bernie and Flav's share of the club. The rest is still owned by Laksmi Mittal

so flav's out of football?
I think so.
In other football news, not looking good for the SPL right now ;)
i (hearts) tony:
"I'm either zero or 100 per-cent"
he's clearly debating whether to invest in sky next year, or quit watching f1 too :)
#affinity
how come?
Spurs 3, Hearts 0. It's so easy I feel a bit embarrassed for them.
Latest score: Spurs 3 Hearts 0 in Europa League.
Guess who RG supports ;)
#hasmuchtolearn
Yes.
Or for the last15 years
:D
Hearts are Latvian really. They have a crackpot chairman with no clue about football but he picks the team. When Burley was the manager he won the first 8 league games of his first season which is way beyond anything anyone could expect Hearts to achieve. He wouldn't do what the chairman said so he was fired before the next match. They have been heading downhill ever since
#sidepodspace
Who says having the Earth hanging about in space is not dangerous?
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/news/solarstorm-tracking.html
I saw the current manager joke in the interview yesterday he had picked the same team to Romanov. Can't see him staying long.
You can never tell with Romanov. He may like that and keep him or he may fire him tonight.
At least the other SPL clubs are doing better although not against such prestigious opposition as Spurs.
Evening all
Evening. Was supposed to sleep, but things at work have gotten rather interesting...
Sounds like a barrel of laughs. I'm just in the door and the proms are on, so I'm happy.

I have found the perfect podcasting studio. No external noise and a far better view than you get from a bunker. Trouble is that it is a little expensive.

PC business to be spun off, set to acquire cloud-based services company (and former Merc GP sponsor): http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/08/18/hewlett-packard-said-to-be-near-10-billion-deal-and-p-c-spinoff/
All webOS devices to be discontinued: http://gizmodo.com/5832291/hp-killing-webos
i wonder if you could watch f1 races from there? would bernie bill you for watching through a telescope?
had no idea you worked for HP. was just reading that.
have been. for almost 4 years now. it's just that i rarely mention it here, if at all. :) things will get crazy in the morning, that's for sure.
Mega
:D
i can imagine. good news for you or not?
Bernie would probably bill you for flying over the track whether you watched or not. It is hard to watch a race via a telescope when you have to orbit the Earth every 90 minutes to avoid splatting into the ground
hmmm. the way i'm reading it, it looks like HP is going all-in on enterprise (think IBM). the acquisition of Autonomy is also interesting - it's a company that thrives on the cloud - something that HP doesn't really have that much expertise at right now (as we are a servers/infrastructure-heavy company). on balance, all this should be good news for me (i'm in the Enterprise Services group), but i think there's going to be a lot of pain first before we get anywhere near where we want to be. not to mention IBM isn't standing still, either.
geostationary orbit?
Fantastic.
Damon Hill in a 1997 Benetton - could've happened if Damon didn't go for the money...
true but getting out of a low margin pc business is a good move. seems like the have something of a plan at least. the cloud is growing, home pc sales never will again.
We are going to need considerably bigger engines and a far more powerful telescope. The longer the orbit the further up you need to be. At least we know it is Kepler's fault
indeed so - i think most people will agree that getting out of the PC business is good (once they get over the shock value of it). i am very surprised, though, that we're giving up on webOS so quickly - we did so little with it, when the OS seemed to have so much potential.
The ISS and the space hotels are 220ish miles up. For geo-stationary orbit you need to be 22,000 miles up
oops.
And regardless of the orbit or the telescope a little cloud stops you seeing anything
webOS is better than android. it's a true competitor to ios. stunning really but i guess they figure competing against apple, microsoft and google is too big a task.
this bunker is useless ;)
can it pick up sky?
which goes back to what i said earlier - all-in on enterprise. HP would be crazy not to sell it now if they don't intend to do anything with it - but to who, and for how much?
It should be able to intercept every feed there is whizzing between satellites and the ground and the feeds from the event to the station are unencripted
ooooh! think of the bandwidth.
Hey man. Don't stress too much, it might sound scary but you dont know what opportunities may come from it.
who'd buy it? unless google loose android to oracle, i can't see anyone wanting to step into that market. maybe google could do with the patents though.
If you have the right kind of dish even on the ground you can get those feeds free
it'll be interesting to see how the Google-Motorola partnership goes. if it goes too well for HTC or Samsung, they may decide to look in webOS' direction.
they're looking at windows aren't they? i would be.
they probably are, but then microsoft is getting cozy with nokia too. if that partnership works too, it'll point to exclusivity being the way to go to be a proper competitor in mobile.
Back to the old days then?
Looks like it, yeah. And that would be thanks to Apple.
It was getting confusing with all those versions of android out there anyway.
Wow. We've started buying HP at work and will probably get them for the coming server/workstation upgrade, they are very good, sad to see them go.
Glad you're in the unaffected bit. :)
Haven't a lot of businesses got HP gear? Be interesting to see what happens to their PC business, I'm not sure lenovo sell as well as IBMs did.
The enterprise bits will stay, so you should still be getting great HP servers. Workstations... we'll see what happens.
Lenovo is targeting a different market compared to what IBM used to. IBM's PCs were almost always for the office, while Lenovo is targeted more towards the home-user consumers.
Surely someone will buy it, hopefully they won't run it down.
Remember the Red Bull American Driver Search? Tony Johns who now does the IndyCar blog Pop Off Valve wrote this a few years ago - I had no idea it was such a shoddily run exercise.
