Yesterday I went to the Goodwood Festival of Speed for the first time. And it's an understatement to say that was absolutely brilliant. The weather was horrendus at the start of the day but from 1100 it started getting better and ended warm, dry and sunny.I've never been to a Formula One race, so it was incredible to be close enough to touch brand new F1 cars. Even screaming up the hillclimb they

Just my thoughts on some of the songs...4 - Latvia - Well, it was... different. Quite clever how it was entirely vocal, but a little ear-piercing at times.6 - Spain - So Las Ketchup are still around then. Very mellow, not unlike Aserejé from a few years ago.7 - Malta - Poor Fabrizio wasn't that bad was he? He deserved more than one point, and should have been higher than at least France.14 -

This is a review of the racing game 'rFactor', written by Mitsufumi-san, a sim-racing fan from Japan, and partly translated using internet translators. It is probably the funniest forum post you will ever read. Great post Mitsi!"I don't urine when I play rFACTOR, the graphic are smooth and special!"

I've never watched so much over a weekend before. This weekend I've watched NASCAR, BTCC, DTM, FRenault, FBMW, Porsche Carreras, Seat Cupras, Clios, ChampCar, and the WRC! I don't know how I'd survive without Motors TV...

I've been looking for something like this for a long time and now I've found it.

I should have some photos of the Christmas tree up soon. It's in a slightly different place (and smaller) this year, to keep it out of the way of Ben.Anyway, college finishes on Thursday (or possibly Wednesday), so then we can start getting the decorations up.As ever the LivingroomCam has turned into the ChristmasCam, so please have a look, a play with the lights, and leave nice message.

My (small) family and myself have a holiday to the Algarve each year. We have been going for more than 10 years now with Palmair (part of Bath Travel) and have never had a major problem. This year, that changed. On Thursday 1/9/05 we were picked up from the hotel at about 0820 to go to the airport. About 40 minutes later we arrived at Faro airport and checked in our cases and ourselves. The

Oh well, better late than never:So it's all over again. The family have come and gone, the presents have been opened and the turkey's been eaten.Meanwhile, at 6:57am today (31st December), I became an uncle - my sister had a baby boy.

Gmail is a new kind of email from Google, and it's absolutely brilliant. Being Google, you can forget popups and adverts slapped all over the page. You do get adverts, but their from Google's text-only AdSense system and show adverts relavent to what's in your messages, instead of ones that are of no interest to you.Also, you don't make folders for you messages. Instead, you give messages labels.

So the tree and decorations are up, the only things missing are the presents. Merry Christmas everyone! Soon I'll post a picture of the tree with the presents! BTW, is the image too dark on your screen?

Okay, don't get me wrong. I mostly love Microsoft Office 2003. But there are some things that I just can't stand. Open up a blank Excel workbook, and then another one. Look at the taskbar - two Excel buttons, one for each worksheet. So like any other Windows application, each workbook is treated as a seperate window, right? Wrong. Minimize them both. Open one up, move it a bit, and then open the

Vitantonio Liuzzi seems to be doing well with Red Bull so far, but it is of course only testing. It should be great if/when he is driving for them next year if he really is that good!

The ex-Jaguars look nice in their new livery. It's so strange seeing drivers in the 'wrong' cars and overalls - Montoya in a McLaren, Webber in a Williams and Ralf in a Toyota. I suppose we will get used to them though.If only BAR would use their 'stealth' livery when they go racing, it looks so good!

Yay, the testing ban is lifted for F1 over the winter! Can't wait to see the Jaguar Red Bulls running in their new livery on Wednesday.

The new 'Band Aid 20' video was shown tonight in the UK, simulcast on most of the main TV channels at 17:50, so a huge number of people should have seen it. IMHO it was good but of course nothing can beat the original. It's out on the 29th - please go and buy it to support the charity if you liked it.

Wow! I just set a new PB of 1:29.275 around Monza in GPL! Trouble is, now I won't let it rest until I can get under 1:29, just like when I was going for 1:30...

So, that's pretty much it for racing this year. Well done Sebastien Loeb for winning the last Rally of the season in Australia, but such a shame for Alistair McRae, losing the production championship with a broken differential, so near to the end. At least the WRC is back in January, so we don't have to wait too long. Hopefully next season PSA will change their minds about leaving at the end of

A couple of days ago I bought a copy of Nascar Racing 2003 Season by Papyrus, the same people who made Grand Prix Legends. It's a pity that Papyrus aren't together any more, but at least there is still a large community and many addons. Daytona and Talladega are my favourite (tri-)ovals - you get the closest racing of any of the tracks as the cars use restrictor plates. Watkins Glen was in GPL,
