Race of Champions? Jenson Button? Grin

Seriously it's something I would have loved to go to.. but we're having Charlie's birthday party Sunday. And it's only a 45 minute tube ride as well.
Won't be the same without Colin McRae, although his brother Alistair has taken his place.

Maybe next year, provided it's at Wembley again Cool

It's really the wrong month for it quite honestly. £60 before travel is just too much. It's on sky sports live at 1pm I believe.
Speed in the US not sure the time. And I think Eurosport cover it in europe.
I was going to go, to see schumi live, but now he's testing and likely to be at silverstone in june, i'll save the money for christmas.

To be fair, the last time someone said that, he lost to one Heikki Kovalinen. Wink

PS My best mate has just rung me up from Wembley to tell me he is watching Angry

I think I will have the last laugh, he says it is, in his words, absolutely bl#*dy freezing Grin

Brilliant show

I thought Schumi did a pretty good job. Anyone who thinks that he's lost his competitive spirit needs to watch. ? The look on his face was priceless going into race 3. Grin

Was it on TV, I checked, but could not find it. That brings another question, if so will it be repeated?

highlights are tuesday night at midnight on eurosport. It was shown live today, might be worth keeping an eye on their site for a downloadable version.

Thanks Craig. Looks like I will have to keep a look out for the downlaodable version. I have to go to Berlin to cover late shift for the company Christmas party on Tuesday. Still can't complain, they did it for us last week.
