    Wasnt Serge a character from Beverly hills cop a slight effeminate shop assistant so perhaps suites Sarge to the ground

    I personally am enjoying the texts and banter from others watching Serge(Sarge) and window boy keep up the good work

    Dont see many others jumping to the challange in these trying times

    If you want to see how not to do this sort of thing then watch the F2 series dull has dish water

    They could even get drivers to ring in during  racing to give a little banter back to Statler and Waldorf

    Heres hoping we get back to the tracks soon and hope everybody keeps well

    Personally I think both formula are doing a fine job! (F1 and f2 !!!!!!!!) F1 a more humorous commentary and f2 is like being at the meeting , both are great but very different, also all the people moaning about it should realise the amount of time people are putting in to running things like this , for me personally it has been a couple of hours on a Saturday and sunday night when you can forget about the problems in the world at the moment, so let's get behind this till racing starts again and maybe even run a winter series (f1 and f2) in the off season , but if you dont like what you see, dont watch it simple!!! , for me it's a big thumbs up to kane Morgan sarge and paul Hines (f1) and jamie ward Charlie guinchard dave Goddard zoe simpson etc (f2)

    One very visible change

    When medics were on track ALL other vehicle movement was stopped, delaying all of the following, vehicle recovery and parade lap and grid reformation.

    At King's Lynn the previous evening four 2L saloons were not allowed to restart a race after a red flag. All cars had obeyed the red flag and stopped but those four that moved before being told they could move were effectively black flagged. 

    Thanks for the info, anything that makes the sport safer is great in my book , might make the meetings slightly longer , but when safety is paramount what's a few minutes extra between race and over the duration of a meeting

    Sheffield - Sunday 20th October 2019

    My only Sheffield visit this year and im afraid i think i was at a different meeting. Maybe its having to find somewhere new to stand. Maybe it was Saturday being so good, though it was good to fulfil the fixture. And why does it start so early. Not easy for travelling with late night the day before (i know it was rearranged but often also go to non f1 dates too) then up in morning when its almost still dark- its supposed to be fun, not feel like going to work. I know those on public transport found it very tight to get there in time. Last few years theres been track work between races but nothing was done at this, leading to a very slick dusty track meaning nobody could be caught or put a good hit in. Fast but apart from a couple of incidents nothing much happened and it seemed largely processional. Sheffield is often like that when it goes slick. Tarmac with dust!

    Just 13 cars for a very poor heat one, what went wrong there?

    Heats 2 and 3 were very watchable and had most of the days incidents. 555 up a post on the back straight and the huge incident at turn one with Liam Gilbank taking to the air. A close finish to heat 3 with 55 almost getting to 275.

    I thought the final and Gn were poor. Fast and close but next to no contact, the odd nudge or leaning on someone. 445 seemed to make good progress but most seemed to follow each other round.

    Not sure a 10 lap mini race really gives enough repair time. May work for full format but with 2/3 format needing cars to keep coming out, they seemed to struggle to get ready.

    whilst everyone is entitled to there opinion, I am am going to give you mine on your above post , 12.30 start time what's the problem?what time does Northampton start on sunday ?(12.00) , as regards the dust I really didnt see a problem, and running 2 formula people complain when Sheffield run 3, that it's to late a finish, finally nothing happened ?? I thought it was good fair hard racing, johnb what is your opinion of good racing?? Drivers respect sheffield,the fence and the type of racing we get there
