You know you're obsessed with F1 when...

Ha. Same here on doing the racing line thing. Didn't realise it was so common. I'm an extremely quick walker as well, so I make doube time now I no the quickest line. Must be that Red Bull i keep drinking.

I usually use the trolly as a racing car at the supermarket

Plus 1 for that. Trolley's are balanced so you can slide round corners. Do you also take your feet off the floor and roll down the isles, or is that just me.

There is no other way to use a shopping trolley.

I slipstream slower pedestrians and step off the racing line for overtaking manoeuvres. I try to judge them and time them just right but occasionally have to pull out of them.

I do that aswell, but once I misjudged it as I hit the KERS and banged into someone, I think that person was related to Khartikeyan.

I've done that as well. Ever given yourself a drive through penalty? or have I gone too far.

 

[johnnoble1990]

I assume everyone has a commentary team in there head telling them how good the overtaking moves are.

 

[Slyboogy]

I think you may have...

 

[johnnoble1990]

Even better is when you come across a person who appears to be doing the same thing leading to both of you practically sprinting. I refuse to be out walked.

I went to far when I Schumachered a stranger for slipping past me into Church Street bend.

Ha ha. When that happens you must try to deliberately take lines to force your opponent off his and into dead ends. Then there are the sneaky lines along the kerb which equate to gaining an advantage by leaving the confines of the circuit.

 

[johnnoble1990]

Yes, but you need to avoid breaking social etiquette. People don't like if you make more than 1 move on a path. And I'm not afraid to take it off-road.

i dont know about you guys im not that big on overtaking during slipstreaming, would hate to get my feet/wheels dirty :|
Also shopping trolleys are fantastic for drifting endlessly around corners because at my local supermarket, theres a 15m long 3 apex corner which i just drift around, feet off the ground, controlled perfectly, its art

despite being at least a decade from marriage you already know that your honeymoon will be at monaco and surprise surprise itll coincidentally be during the grand prix
all of your artworks you have ever done in school for the past 4 years have had something to do with an f1 car
powerwalking is not fast walking, its walking with KERS
Having previously downloaded the sound of an F1 car passing you, you measure how long it takes for that to play, apply it to your walking speed and when your bored go out a try waling past people straight faced like nothings happening
You are in a 400m running race(2 weeks ago), 1 lap of the track and you purposefully follow the racing line around the track even though you know you lose metres and metres on running diagonally

You REALLY know you are obsessed with F1 when you realise that your alterego (in my case "Likerman") can't like all the posts on this thread enough!!!!!

 

[johnnoble1990]

I wondered why I had so many alerts Fenderman.

 

[Brogan]

You always know when Fenderman's online as you get Like Bombed

 

[Fenderman]

Tally ho, chaps! Likeable Clip chums in sight ... open bomb bay doors ....

One also knows that one is obsessed with F1 when one has taken time out to draft one's own Technical and Sporting Regulations with regard to one's personal behaviour on Clip.

• A poster has said something that Fenderman may disagree with but which Fenderman appreciates that it is the posters justifiable point of view

3.2 The LBD should not be used lightly

3.3 The LBD shall not be in use during safety car periods and no overLBDing shall be allowed.
