Proposed London F1 race

Featured Replies

Have a look at this video of the proposed F1 circuit around the centre of London

http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2012/06/vide...ondon-gp-track/

I went to the demo running they had a few years ago and it was mobbed, so I think it would be a good idea but unfortunately the potty Mayor, bonking Boris has said it would have to meet noise and emmission levels :lol::lol: and no doubt pay the congestion charges, Oh no, most of them now would be classed as "hybrids" with the KERS systems :lol::lol:

Neat idea, no way in hell it would ever be doable.

Be cool if it ever does happen.

Looks good...

excellent money making opportunity, I'll be there dodgy merchandise selling for four times the RRP.

If I lived in London and had to abide by the stupid emission rules, I'd be well pissed if they then decided it was fine for F1 cars to have the arsed ripped out of them around the same roads

i just wouldnt live in london, id think it was amazing...

Starting prep work now for a street circuit in NY... thatd be sick!!

Just get them to plant a few dozen trees in one of nearby royal parks to offset the carbon emmissions and at the end of the day these F1 engines are tuned for maximum efficiency and the emmisions are probably less on an overall lap than most of the 10 year old cars/vans driving in London today??

Stupid idea. I hate most street circuits, Monaco is the worst. What's the obsession with London anyway? The place is a shit hole, yet everything ends up going on there. I know it's the capital, but there's more to Britain than that hell hole

they need to sort it out but I'm sure we all know theres no way in hell this country will allow it, our goverment is shit and the country is going down the pan, its had enought to do a track day these days with noise regs so no way are they gonna allow F1 to race round london

the only reason london would be cool is seeing f1 cars whizzing past all the landmarks. imagine the inpact on the tube if it had to deal with an f1 race.. :lol:

So as I see it, it's all well within the circle line. Can't see spectator traffic on a weekend evening being any worse than rush hour Mon-Fri?

ah, but the circle line is no longer a circle ;) haha

dude, they cant handle a normal day let alone when theres an event on! when somethings on at wembly it royally fucks everything up! haha

Don't blame me, that's what you get for living in London :p

Thing is, Wembley ain't in the middle, so there's only a certain number of common routes there. Everything ends up on the circle line at some stage.

wan't an interesting race? race through the tube, like DTM did to the olympic stadium in munich.

Bring back the birmingham superprix!

First time I read it, I pictured a lap of the circular.... then I realised the woolwich ferry might be a slight spanner in the works.

Round hyde park could be a good one.

a bit off topic but I was up your way last week Yeti, in derby. took me and my mates 10 mins before someone threatened one of us with rippping off our heads and shit down the hole thats left.

You seem to be a magnet for threatening behavior :lol:

we laughed it off because he was off his face and alone and we just sat near him in a quiet pub. he did apologise after though, and all that before we told him we were southerners.

Pointless!! Why more street circuits. They're are normally rubbish. Monaco's only good as it has all the glamour and history!

Why doesnt he just put it back on the BBC first, then worry about ruining F1 more.

In the mean time, I'll stick with Australian V8 Supercars.
