For anyone who hasn’t picked up on it the start time has been brought forward to 11.30am as heavy rain is forecast for this afternoon.

Give them all a set of waterproofs and make them compete in the rain; that should make for an interesting race.

The Belgian F1 was boring as well after the first 30 seconds or so.
Thought I'd already told you that. Loads of pissy little petrol engined cars going round and round. They are so gutless they have to bolt bits of old tumble dryer to them so they can get up the hills.

You'll have to forgive me - I can't stay awake long enough to follow this 'sport'. From what I can see one of the pretty boys forgot to brake from 25mph which caused a toilet seat to prevent a french sounding bloke from getting a bump on the head.

I was at Brands last year when Haslam got off at 170mph and still managed to walk to the podium to shake Shane Byrne's hand. Not a toilet seat in sight.

Might I suggest you book a session in any top end racing car - you might find it a little more difficult than you think!

I can 100% guarantee if you get in an F1 car you wouldn't be able to get it rolling for the first three days, let alone go 50 yards up the road without spinning it.

Any mug can ride a motorbike.o_O

They will be easier to drive next year when they are all fitted with cruise control so the drivers can follow each other round. And round and round....

As if by magic - channel 4 9pm tonight - Guy Martin learning to drive an F1 car.

Watch and learn.

Excellent. Thank you. Any bloke who has a Merlin engine in his shed is alright by me. I'm sure it would have been a diesel had there been sufficient fuel available when it was designed.

I was encouraged by your first sentence, then it all went horribly, horribly wrong.

Having been there on Sunday and in 2015 when Rossi won in the rain.
I have to say 2015 was a lot worse than last Sunday!
So you have to say, what has gone wrong with the resurfacing and who is going to stump up
to put it right AND cover the losses for the weekend!
