About MeA glutton for sports, I'm a diehard Philly sports fan, especially for my Phillies and Eagles. Soccer has become a passion of my in recent years, as I have come to know the beautiful game. You can also find me watching lots of auto racing, especially open wheel. It takes a certain kind of person to watch a race at 2 am on a Sunday morning, but I'm that guy.

You get rid of Cunningham, bring back Dichio, bring in Barrett, and use your 2nd team, and you win!

TFC! TFC!

I'm laughing, I would've traded him for some salsa.

Absolutely, me neither! I don't like the two groups either. They should all be in one group, even I thought this group was strong. I'm off now, it's nearing 11 o'clock, and I have to be up at 7 in the morning, so I need some time to sleep. :)

Okay, I'm watching, and I don't understand... They didn't use the start/finish line as the timing line? Wouldn't that be the obvious place to put the timing line?

Ooh... Nice. They're at the track with the ridiculously wide main straight aren't they? I might give it a watch - but I won't be able to watch all of it. Still, should be interesting to see the rest of the circuit.

I wouldn't mind, it wouldn't be too bad (more racing can only be good), but it would be fine as long as it didn't take the place of a race in Europe.

Yeah, that was right. Having read on in the story (sort of, I'm at 1983), there was going to be a GP in New York, but the race got cancelled. So instead, they held the race at Brands Hatch. Sadly, being an island there were no countries nearby, so they had to call it the European Grand Prix.

Notice that the race in Abu Dhabi next year is called the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. There's a circuit in Dubai too, which gives scope for a Dubai Grand Prix. They didn't name it United Arab Emirates Grand Prix, for instance. In 1998 though, they ran out of names again, European GP was in use, so the race at Nurburgring was dubbed the "Luxembourg Grand Prix".

Oh, okay then! Didn't I write some of those anyway (I think I wrote 2006, not sure though). I'll just sit here and let you do everything... :P I will carry on with the F1 formatting through to 2008, and then apply the formatting to the Grand Prix pages. Some wierd ones... The 1982 Swiss Grand Prix was held in the heart of France. :s There was already a French Grand Prix, and I suppose they were hesitant to use European Grand Prix at the time.

Oh... In that case, I'll leave you to it! :P I'll work on race reports for them then, since that should just be manipulating what it says on www.grandprix.com for each race.

Is that shortcut a copy and paste from wikipedia? It would be good if it was!

I will help with that over the upcoming month or so (once I've done the rest of the years for F1). I can only edit by morning though, the room with my computer becomes unbearably hot in the afternoons!

But anyway, is it a straight C & P from Wikipedia, or is there more to it?
