Watching the medical car and the pace car hustling around the track before the race was almost as much fun as the race itself when I went to the USGP last year. Sound great and I'm pretty sure they put in a few extra laps just for shits and giggles.

Man, I get such mixed feelings about this car. I would hate to have to see it make a run onto the track... but... I would really enjoy watching it make a run onto the track....

Darn should've went to it...and I would've if it weren't so far away from me! Lucky you though! AMG's sure are sonorous.

Hrm, speaking of giggles, they should give rides around tracks in the medical car! I figure at least 4 lucky passengers get to go in the wagon as someone flogs it around. Better yet, they should have someone on a gurney lie flat in the car as someone flogs it....never mind the liability issues!

Ah now that's a statement. I never thought of it like that. On the brighter side of things....this is probably pre-race! They make runs before the race to make sure the track's okay.

Yes, I never really catch those. I guess I should hit up the facetubes to find a video.

I don't blame you. They don't often air those parts of the race going-on's as it's usually interviews or something of that sort. I assume FOM figures it's more interesting to get interview than show the Safety/Medical cars flogging around. I beg to differ with them though.

I bet if I could get SkySports I would be able to choose to watch the cars... damn brits get all the good channels...

Haha well I do certainly appreciate SkySport's dedication to F1. I catch the F1 streams from Sky every now and then and they don't show the cars pre-race, just the interviews. But I think the real SkySports F1 subscribers have the option of changing views.....here's to hoping that watching the cars pre-race is one of those options!

Yeah, the real SkySports thingy has like eight different angles/cameras or something, at least during the race. Including the option to always choose the car with the thermal cameras.

Edit: Yeah, that.

Me too. It would be the only channel I had, and it would be worth it.
