Yes agree that 78997 is a nice number. The only reason why you are asking is because you have emotional attachment to your own number. If that is the case, then go with your own number. I would too if I am emotionally attached to the number.

Completely agree. Drive to Survive on Netflix and various Podcasts and interviews allow us to understand more about those drivers, the struggle they went through and how they got there and stay in F1

1) 4wd was not probably engaged 2) turned the steering when reversing back down. Should reverse straight down.

I will be interested for Wadi drives because I will involve my family. Maybe I am not such an adrenalin junkie and will enjoy a less challenging drive with nice scenery.

Yes, always about the money as we see almost everyday, what more cut throat business and highly profitable one, like F1

Yup, still a rumour. Despite the fact that Vettel has not been driving well lately, he is still a relatively 'young' 4 times F1 champ. Hence, a very attractice option.

Actually, 2009 was my favourite season when Button won the championship with Brawn that was utterly dominant with its double diffuser but ran out of money to develop the car and Button still score reasonable points to seal the championship with 1 race to spare. The 2nd favourite season for me was the 2007 due to the spygate, Alonso-Hamilton public spat and how Kimi came from behind to win the championship in the last race.

The latest rumour today is that Vettel will be joining Aston Martin (currently known as Racing Point) to replace Sergio Perez in 2021.

When I saw the topic, I thought this as a genuine question😄

Carrying too much speed and the approach angle

I agree. Red Bull is Ver’s team for the foreseeable future. No space for him. Maybe Ver is too strong his team mates are all looking a bit weak. I do hope Albon improves. if Vettel wants to remain in F1, he needs some luck. Like how Alonso gets the Renault seat. It will be a midfield team for Vettel and if he’s lucky the team may get the 2022 new rules spot on and he will be in contention for podiums/ wins.

Yes, I am glad that McLaren is doing well this year. Racing Point as well based on their race pace. Hopefully Racing Point will not be penalized by the FIA for being a pink Mercedes. The biggest question mark would be how will Vettel soldier on for the rest of the year and where will he go next.

Is anyone watching F1, whether religiously or as and when you feel like it? I have been following F1 religiously for more than 10 years. This year, given the pandemic is slightly different (weird). F1 is racing without any fans at the circuit. They have just resumed racing 2 weeks ago and I am not complaining. In case you are interested, F1 will be racing in Hungary this week (18&19 July).

Ok @Gaurav

The fun part about sourcing for a used car are the plethora of options and luxury of time. Since you are not in a hurry, I am sure you will find another suitable car.

Congratulations! I had the pleasure of joining his drive today and he was unselfishly and patiently sharing his knowledge and help to all especially to newbie like me.

@Srikumar done, thank you.

Unfortunately, I am not one of them. Otherwise, I will be rolling in with G63😁 with the Grand Tour crew/entourage in tow.

I have signed up for the Sharjah morning drive. If any space free up for Qudra, please let me know and reserve it for me. Many thanks.

I think I am more comfortable with Absolute Newbie.

@Frederic sorry for the delay. Was busy at work today. 1) Car is FJ Cruiser. Tow points are in perfect condition 2) No prior experience. 3) I have the flag pole, air compressor and walkie talkie but needed to spend some time to configure to the right channel as per the video instructions. The RSVP is full even as of this afternoon, how do I get onto the list? Thank you in advance.

I would like to join the Absolute Newbie drive at Al Qudra on 10 July.
