These joints are as dry as the desert they sit on.Not true, was at the Abu Dhabi race when Webber lost the WDC, there is a specific tier in the hairpin turn that will happily serve you crap beer and wine. https://ticketsyasmarinacircuit.com/3086-abu-dhabi-ymc/en/product/4251-27401-Al-Dhiyafa-North-(Friday-Sunday)/Actually a good place to meet some pretty interesting people, lots of expats. You do need to be respectful which is good to see. It's not like leaving the footy on a Friday night.AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew F Posted 11June, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 11June, 2016 I'm sure that you are all keeping up to date with how you are doing in F1 Dreamteam, but it's worth noting that Anthony, aka AB_981 is in 11th place in the overall rankings, followed by BBC and myself in the top 500. I think Anthony has a real chance, being only 181 points behind the overall leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew F Posted 2July, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 2July, 2016 Points time.There have been some interesting cars throughout F1 history. 6 wheeled tyrrel to name just one. But what was unique about the Maki F101? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 2July, 2016 Report Share Posted 2July, 2016 Not sure if it counts as unique but only managed one race start...finished last?Edit, F101C in 1975 Swiss GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew F Posted 2July, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 2July, 2016 Well @Harvs11 I'll give you half points for doing your research. The Maki F101 failed to ever qualify for an F1 championship race. The F101C did indeed qualify for the Swiss GP, which was a non-championship round. They finished last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
