As mentioned a couple of times before I dont really dream about motor racing in that sense. Sometimes there are snippets of (usually fatal) incidents of drivers that in reality are alive though, but without any real context, kinda scary.

It's amazing what I dreamed of. I was with the company at the Truck race on Daytona and drove Kimi Raikkonen and won. But I did not see overtaking the leader at the finish line because I was distracted. I was angry that I missed it. But I heard that Kimi had crossed below the yellow line and concluded that the organizers were looking through his fingers, but I didn’t mind. On the way home I was talking to a friend about the race and he was explaining what overtaking looked like and I could hardly wait to get home and look at youtube. Then I woke up and realized that it was all just a dream. :( 

 

And this was half an hour ago.

I had a dream, no a nightmare last night about F1.  Even though I've loved (and hated at times) F1 for decades, I almost never dream about it but last night I did and it was absolutely horrendous.  It was a race, not sure where or when but by the cars/drivers I would assume early 2000s and there was a crash, a brutal and horrific crash where a driver was decapitated by the car of another and the camera was zoomed in and a slow-mo was shown immediately.

 

The two drivers involved, one I was a fan of and the other I really have no feelings either way, but it was a really horrible thing indeed and I woke up feeling quite sick.  Hope it was a one off and never happens again.  F1 dreams should be fun and exciting, not gruesome.

 

Maybe it says something about me and I'm warped or something but jeez it was awful.

Lots of mine involve crashes and negative events. Not sure why. Probably because seeing something truly terrible (it stems from having seen Greg Moore’s crash live as a kid I think) is my biggest fear watching Motorsport.

I have a recurring dream that Mercedes domination is going to end...

Last nights double...

 

Sky were prevented from streaming the Monaco GP because the track map that was being placed on the screen was breaking a copyright and triggering a live DMCA strike. If the last part means nothing to you I'm not surprised!

 

The second part involved Mercedes who had locked out the front row. Just as the lights were about to go out Lewis got out of his car which in my dream world meant the other cars behind him also couldn't then start. He casually started going about his normal pre-race business as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening. Max was fuming as was Christian Horner who suggested this was Mercedes playing games.

 

That's about the point I woke up!

 

Oh and at one point Max got an ironing board and iron out of a closet and started ironing his clothes in front of Hamilton's car on the grid. Yeah, I'm concerned too.  :rotfl:

I swear that I think I had a dream that half of the grid crashed in the first corner and Williams had a golden opportunity to score points a few months ago. :rotfl:

Never have any motorsport dreams. My dreams are anyway never clear enough to pinpoint people or events, they're fuzzy. Daydreams, maybe one or two...decades ago.

That's a very, very funny thread for me to read today, because I had one just last night!

 

I dreamt I was in Eddie and Marie Jordan's house in Oxford, where the walls were painted green and there were a cat and a dog on friendly terms... and we were talking about the future of Valtteri Bottas   :lol:

I don't often dream about motorsports, but recently I had a dream that Norris is overtaking Hamilton in the last corners to take the world championship. The year was unclear tho

Last night I had a dream about qualifying.

 

It was the end of Q1. Latifi was knocked-out. Russell was through to Q2 but he crashed after the checkered flague and damaged his rear wing. I wondered whether he could still take part in Q2 but was rather pessimistic about it.

I had a dream that I saw a news headline saying that Hamilton would not drive in F1 in 2022 after "growing disillusioned with the sport" (it's the exact phrase I remember) and another one saying that the teams agreed that all teams apart from Ferrari would be running Mercedes engines.

Not really a dream, but I often imagine lapping particular circuits as a way to switch off and get to sleep in the first place.

When I was a kid, I used to have dreams that I was Al Holbert's teammate driving a 4 wheel drive Lowenbrau Porsche 962. It even had a car designation, 962C-4.  :lol:

Never thought to try this but it sounds like a great way to drift off, I'll give it a go tonight as I have problems with getting to sleep.

 

I did dream recently though that Hamilton was driving a white and blue car and overtook Max for the championship win, it was a bit messy though and made little sense beyond that.

Today I had a dream about Australian GP. On the first lap, both Ferraris crashed out as well as around 5 other cars which included Hulkenberg in Lotus-Renault or something like that. Then, even though I saw everything from the TV perspective, there was Hamilton on 2nd pressuring me for the lead of all sudden. I wondered how the hell am I going to keep him behind all race as he appeared faster than me but also wondered if it's just one-off track specific strength from Mercedes or if they've sorted their car for good.

Last night I dreamt that I qualified for the Indy 500, I'd managed to qualify in 26th on the grid, and the reason I'd done so well was that the circuit layout had been updated to include a roundabout, and the Americans weren't sure how to approach it :)

Today I had a dream that Mick Schumacher became a WDC in some absurd circumstances. It was like scoring a fluke win in a race with red flags and changing weather, but it counted as WDC. :p

I had a bit of a crazy and sad one recently.

The race I was watching was at Le Mans, but it was a much larger version of the track, because the front straight was long enough to accommodate a grid of what must have been at least 50 cars. The field consisted of Le Mans prototypes, Indycars (with wheel covers) and NASCAR Sprint Cup cars. At least those where the ones in the top half of the field. The run down to the first corner was much longer than in real life too.

So the race started with a standing start. The huge field was already doing about 200mph as it rounded the gentle first corner. The leading Audis got though fine but there was a collision just behind them which caused a chain reaction that was Las Vegas 2011 on steroids. It wasn't quite Blues Brothers levels of carnage but it was a massive crash. Unfortunately Carl Edward's cup car (he's the one with the duck on it right?) was launched into the spectator banks on the outside of the corner, killing 5. Scot Dixon was also pinned in his Target car by about 3 other cars and he didn't survive either. Obviously the race was stopped, and I was watching and waiting to hear the news much like I was in real life for Las Vegas.

I woke up with a bit of a sick feeling, much like I was feeling after Las Vegas. I was thinking, how could that race been given the go ahead, it was obviously going to end it carnage. Of course then I realised it was a dream.

 

:eek:

 

Meself, haven’t dreamed of being in a racing car.

 

Plenty of interesting dreams in regular cars, but not at the highest levels.

 

Apart from that, cool idea for a thread. :up:

Had a very strange (and very bad) dream where I was part of a medical team that diagnosed Tony Kanaan with an early form of dementia because of a concussion suffered at Indy in 2015...  :(

A decade on, I’m surprised at the how vivid that long forgotten dream must have been by the description I gave.

It was the Mexican Grand Prix last night. Hamilton and Russell had been involved in some kind of early collision and were out of the running and Charles Leclerc was leading. He went to lap a group of cars on the main straight including Norris, Tsunoda and Ocon, but Norris too had a good slipstream on those in front and he and Leclerc weaved right of Tsunoda, then left of Ocon and Leclerc got a run to the left of Norris, who didn't know he was there and ran him into the wall. They collided, and Sainz too was taken out in the resultant collision. Valtteri Bottas had made his way up to second and with this collision was suddenly leading the race behind the safety car for Alfa Romeo. As it went in, he started to pull out a bit of a lead but Mater from Cars had moved up into second and was closing the gap. Then my alarm clock went and ruined a potential thrilling conclusion to the Grand Prix.

Another thing was that in the dream, I really wanted Bottas to win and not Mater.

That's way too unrealistic, so we know you were in dreamland. In what world did Ferrari's strategy team manage to get Leclerc a whole lap ahead of Norris' McLaren?!

Exactly, and also why wasn’t Verstappen in the lead? That was never explained and is totally unrealistic.

Today I had a dream about the first race of the season. I think Verstappen won but Nico Rosberg was 2nd after an impressive come back from a 1st lap collision that wasn't his fault (I don't know why Rosberg was in the Mercedes instead of Russell but I was wondering whether Mercedes would favour him now that Hamilton is leaving for Ferrari next year so it must have been about 2024 and not one of the earlier years). I think Williams also scored a lot of points because I remember being quite happy about the result.

I had a wacky dream last night. I was in some kind of dystopian future, the sort where even the weather is dark and gloomy because of it, but I was part of some kind of resistance and I was important to it. For some reason, it was deemed crucial that I needed to go to watch Newport County play football at night along with the rest of the resistance so that I could meet Keke Rosberg who was also important to the resistance and with a joining of interests we might be able to save the world. Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna were also there, but it was Keke Rosberg who was the leader. On the way home, I had to walk between two rows of dying bodies to get to my building only to be greeted with a tiny kid who started shouting to alert the secret police to my whereabouts (is this from a film?), and I had to leap over a massive TV into the nearest flat to escape and hide. This happened to be Keke Rosberg's flat, and the secret police broke in and murdered him. Then I woke up.
