Off-Topic I've Booked To Drive An F1 Car

7.6k Upvotes

It's finally happened, it has been a proper bucket list item that I never thought would happen.

But my wife has booked for me to drive a Formula 1 car on a Formula 1 circuit for my 40th birthday next July.

I've seen a few experiences that put an F1 car in an unsuitable environment like an arifield or a very tight circuit, but I wanted somewhere it could actually stretch it's legs and feel like an F1 car, this isn't something I'm likely to get to experience again so I want it to feel "proper".

So I am getting to go in a 1999 Benetton B199 at Circuit De Magny Cours, 2 x 15 minute sessions in a Formula Renault 2.0 then 3 laps in the F1 car.

You could pay more for something more modern, but to me a 1999 car is perfect.

I just hope it doesn't rain and get postponed! Getting back to France will be a pain.

Anyone else have any experience of LRS Formula?

Off-Topic looks like the f1 movie also planted props among the spectators when they shot the podium scenes

since there was a post showing brad pitt shooting a podium scene after the real abu dhabu podium ceremony, i found it funny that charles’ girlfriend posted stories of the fake podium and crowd

makes me wonder if they had separate props for the alleged alternate podium with damson idris on the top step, and how they organized the fans to be filmed for the movie (did they pick who would get to hold the props? did the spectators need to sign an extra waiver to allow themselves to be shown on screen? were they asked to stay in the stands till filming was done? etc.)

Off-Topic [OT] The FIA has updated the required forms for drivers, individual competitors and officials from Russia or Belarus to sign before being allowed to compete under a neutral flag. The only change is a removal of a single line stating that the FIA condemned the invasion.

2.6k Upvotes

Pretty much exactly what the title states.

As can be seen on the FIA website these were updated apparently on the 11th.
(Although I have been checking the FIA website daily and didn't see them until today... so I think the update was backdated)

The only change in all 3 documents from prior ones is the section in Bold:

Acknowledging the decisions of the World Motor Sport Council of 1 March 2022, where the FIA condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the support provided by Belarus, I, the undersigned

Everything else is identical.

It's a bizarre change given as far as anyone is aware, the view from the FIA hasn't changed in regards to the invasion.
And the document still acknowledges the decision of the WMSC made on the 1st March 2022 which condemned the invasion.
It's just that now it doesn't explicitly state that where the driver signs.

Maybe that makes it somehow easier for Russian & Belarusian nationals to sign...Feels odd though.
