Also gonna post the grand prix highlights up from magny cours and maybe the full race video.
Why all the new vids ??
I have at long last started to get everything sorted out (still waiting for my ADSL connection though)
I now have a PC connected directly to my sky digital box via s-video that has produced some amazing results so far controlled over a network by my main PC. Sadly you probably wont notice much of a difference in quality as the videos are heavily compressed with Divx.
The main advantage is though that I can store around 6 months of un-compressed videos on that PC before being uploaded onto JW.

Hope that the London race will be a reality. I know that England does not allow any type of Street racing venues in their country, but with F1 being such a huge sport that can help the country in tourism money, it should be just a minor thing that could be taken care of. Did you go to the event Jabba? A lot of the people were complaining about the poor seating arrangements but they have to realize it was probably just a hastily put together event and the mistakes that occurred there will be rectified in time for the real event if it happens. BTW, who's the hot chick that does the weather on Sky News?

HAHA the weather girl is for sure one of the hottest ever 
As for the event, well, simply amazing! i mean, everybody can attend a GP, and most of us did already, but to see them running up and down Regent St. is simply unbelievable

Yes and amazing that it may seem...but I really think it is going to happen...they thought 25,000 people would show up...in fact the police estimate it to be in the region of 500,000...imagine how many would show up for a full grand prix on a weekend !!!

I wonder if that 500'000 wasn't a bit to optimistic though I mean, I saw what 500'000 and almost a 1'000'000 look alike at the Steet Parade in Zurich but still, there was a hell of a lot of ppl, no idea how they could think only 25'000 would show up! Comon!!
For sure if there will really be a London GP (I hope so, and I hope it won't be to dangerous ), they will need two weeks after the race to let all the spectators leave

I like street circuits in F1......tho they are not the fastest, nor do they have alot of passing chances...but speeding thru those narrow street does create lots of excitement. Thanks for the clip Jabba =)

street circuits have less passing chances then other cources, that is why who ever gets pole wins the race at monaco
