David Coulthard, is that really the best we can do?

that is 1 of annoying parts of GB is that we sent dreadful people to the race of champions, i remember a few years ago. germany had schumacher & vettel. Nordic had we had Coulthard & priaiux. but we had button in 2015 & 2017, also Lando in 2018

Still a load of contrived shit, as it has been for years.

“Race of champions champion”?
Fuck me, what a fucking headliner.

 

[cider_and_toast]

So basically, a list of champions at a wide level of Motorsport and David Coulthard.

Wait a second, I stand corrected, it's a wide list of Champions of major Motorsport series and the 1989 P & O Ferries British Formula Ford 1600 Junior Champion.

Wow, think I'm heading straight to the Ticketmaster website now ......

i was looking earlier when the race of champions is normally on at the end of this month. but its seems they have been stopped from using the swedish site which was a shame because it seemed the best place for it after it moved from paris,

It's not something I particularly enjoy, but it's a shame it's not taking place for those who do like it.
