It was amazing to see "Our Nige" come back and do his stuff though, I'm a huge fan, and thought he might embarrass himself after all these years, but he did fewer laps than everyone else, came out for his first run, first timed lap thrashed everyone, and beat that with his second lap
He was 0.57 sec faster than Emmo, and the 6 drivers behind him were all within about one tenth - v impressive!
He may suffer in the fitness stakes over the race though, a lot of the other guys looking in much better shape than him.
And it was great to see cars that moved about so much, twitching and sliding - made the current F1 cars look very easy!
Shame Prost didn't make it to this race.

Remember how he used to have to be carried out of the car when he was supposedly fit?! He seems lightyears ahead of the others in terms of pace though, but I hope Fittipaldi and Patrese can stay close once the race gets going.
What was the story with Prost? Was he pissed off because Mansell got more time to practise in the car or something?

I am actually enjoying watching some 'motor racing' again....only seen the last few laps but it's done enough for me to watch the beeb coverage later on
even the cars look better than current F1....lower, wider and some decent gobs of slick rubber on the back
the cars are running closer together than you see in F1
top stuff

Can't believe they've actually got motor racing on the BBC.
