Formula One (Seems that most of you flightsimmers have a mutual interest in F1 racing...)

Yes I noticed too.. very interesting!

I'm a huge F1 fan. I only wish the series would return to Indianapolis, as it was only a 4 hour drive from my house. :(

Instead of waiting for BoB we could drive a few rounds of F1 Championship Edition. Add a little more wing and we all get airborne...:-) If that's an idea I'll be more than happy to get things moving.
