Could anyone care to inform me what that's all about?

I gave up buying the mag about 2 years ago but I must admit to having bookmarked their website. I refer to it once a week, on average, just to get an idea of what is going on in other types of racing.
Tonight, logging on to it, I noticed a headline informing me that Cadillac have decided to give up sports car racing. I clicked on the link to get the full story. What I got was an Autosport advert trying to persuade me to sign up for something or other - I did not bother to see what.
Thinking it must be my mistake, I tried again (3 times) - same result.
As you have probably guessed by now, I have removed the Autosport bookmark from my computer.

There's a pic of Elio this week as it's 20 years since he won... Yes, I know when the thread was started, but.....

Same happened to me when I clicked onto a link from a Readers Comments item last night... I didn't bother either, but I must admit I didn't see the 'skip through' option Ross mentions... I may go back later...

Generally agree overall, but I must say that morning coffee on Thursdays is normally accompanied by a read through the Ask Nigel column.
He's very much a pleasant oasis is wasteland of mediocrity.

A sand-coloured surface would have permitted them at least to 'pretend'... With this sea of bloody asphalt overtaking every major-league circuit in the world it's really going to look like racing round a carpark - oops, Las Vegas GP really was a portent of (awful) things to come????

To be fair, you can have decent races in a car park -- ALMS from the car park of the RFK stadium in Washington sounded like an absolute thriller despite the photos making the place look very uninspiring!

In this week's Autosport in the Tributes to Passed Masters section on page 44 with reference to the loss of Jackie Epstein this year, it has Paul Hawkins as being killed in the 1969 Oulton Park Gold Cup. Please chaps, it was the Tourist Trophy at the circuit almost three months earlier.

I bought it for this reason- 82 was a good year(ok - apart from GV RP and DP ) .Not a bad read at all to my surprise- John Watson makes some splendidly catty comments. Which sort of seems a slightly at odds with the soft spoken driver I remember in period. I adored that utterly brutal looking and sounding Brabham- BT45 - he drove in '77
He's definitely got more outspoken with age hasn't he ?
I really enjoyed his interview with Pete Windsor

Definitely not one of the PC brigade, good on him I say.
Would love to see him on TNF.

Go to zinio.com to get a look at the Autosports when they come out (Thursday A.M). It's a good way to browse thru them.
