The average FIA Superlicense costs $1.5 million. And you have to have at least 3 top three finishes in open wheeled FIA championship series or FIA World Endurance series to qualify. Add to that, at least one GP2 Drivers Championship. THEN you would have to be picked up as a testing or reserve driver for an existing F1 team. In other words....including sponsors...about $7 million.
Im talking just have a few laps around silverstone or something. Not actually race the thing. I considermyself a decent racer but the people who race those cars for a living, would make me look like a toddler picking his nose riding a plastic trike
Their literally playing a song with the freakin motor. And it sounded really good to boot lol
Havent seen thst episode in forever

Hiya MKPMGood morning all! Remembering the massacre in Nice.
Apparently, Mercedes AMG Petronas has a new reserve driver!
Good afternoon WhiskeyGood afternoon, Corner
One must have a Superlicense to even get in one whilst it is running. It takes 7 people to even start one, and actually getting it out of first gear is quite a trick. Due to the power/weight ratio, and tyres not being warmed up, traction is almost non-existent. Taking one for a lap is not even remotely the same as driving any other type of racing car. I'm with you however, I would love to learn to drive one, and take it on a lap of Spa or the Red Bull Ring at Spielberg Austria. Another issue...and I DO NOT MEAN THIS IN ANY BAD WAY.....you would not fit in the cockpit. They are very very narrow, and the seats are thermally molded to fit the driver assigned to that particular car. F1 drivers are very fit...but small. The largest drivers to fit into those cars were Michael Schumacher and Mark Webber.
Im a fan of the
Yea i know i wouldent fit. Altho it looked like i might fit in the baby f1 car that hammond drove in the beginning.
That alone would be fun as hell.
Im a fan of the nureburgring myself. Spent alot of time on that track playing gt5 and 6. One day i WILL drive on the ring for real.

Hammond was in a GP2 (Formula Renault at the time) car. As for the Nordschleif...see if you can get Sabine Schmitz to take you for a lap in a Porsche GT3...or perhaps a LaFerrari in the rain, for that classic Nikki Lauda experience!
It is going good. It has rained most of the day. It is alot cooler today.
Hiya, Pete! How's it going today,buddy? Aside from hot that is.Good afternoon Mark
I hear ya, you are a strong man, Saddle
Hello there @Whiskey .Howdy, MK & Mark
Thanks my dear family. Got to say this. Some people turn ugly when someone dies. I offered to take her to Ok. in my car. Her brother called me a freak & said leave. I left. Out of respect for Laura. I will never know if he had dentures but I came real close to findin' out.
Id rather take a catherham 7, or a mustang gt3 or s550 gt350r, or ferrari 458, or nissan gtr vspec or an sls black (in vibrent yellow of course) or audi r8 and or s7.
Yea but, your the good kind of freak, and here, your in good company.
For me, it would be...
Road Car: Mine, or a Jaguar F-type R
Race Car: Stoffel VanDorrne's ART GP3, or a Porsche LeMans GT3 proto
Thing is...the Nordschlief is boring....would much rather make those laps, in those cars, at SPA (Eau Rouge complex) or Sazuka (MUST experience The "Spoon"), or the "Esses" at Watkins Glen.
The sun is coming out now so it will get alot warmer.
River day.
Was not going to go but changed mind.
BBTM was in rare fuck with me form all night, little bastard woke me up at 530 this morning.
Grilled some petite sirloin up with an eggplant, charred the hell out of the eggplant. Going to make baba ganoush tomorrow.
Left over fried rice with thin sliced beef, caramelized onions and mushrooms with broc shreds.

Been on the glen. Can confirm its a fun track.
The ring for me is more about the history, and the beauty. Palophony digital did a great repuduction of the track but still just a tv. I WILL drive it one day
Yep fat and happy smelling like smoke, picked up some natural wood lump charcoal that was pretty nifty for 3 bucks a bag.
I will get happy again. Right now I just feel numb.

Hiya PeteHello Recan
Bubba and Duane are out in the woods hunting when suddenly Bubba grabs his chest and falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing; his eyes are rolled back in his head.
Duane whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He tells the operator, "I think Bubba is dead! What should I do?
The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy and follow my instructions. First, let's make sure he's dead.”
There is a silence. And then a gun shot is heard.
Duane's voice comes back on the line, " Okay... Now what? "

I took a girl into the woods hiking at night, once, on a date.
She started crying, and I asked her why.
"I'm scared" she said, to which I replied, "You're scared? Think about how I feel, I have to walk out of here alone."
She ran, screaming.
Some people..sheesh!
