Fittipaldi did well for a 58 year old I thought. Him and Mansell were really good, especially at the end, it couldn't have been a lot closer.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Ah Makes you feel young again. Or should that be makes you feel old. I would have liked to have seen all the old sponsor colours on the cars but I
suppose you can't have everthing.

My main thought was that I hope Bernie and Max were watching - more fun in the second half of that race than the whole of the F1 season this year.
Great to see two of my favourite racing drivers battling it out for the lead. I'm looking forward tot he next race.

It really was great to hear Murray shouting Mansells name again! It just confirms the fact that James Allen is rubbish!
Can't beleive some of the wives they have! And Mansells daughter has definately grown up!!

Watched it live on Motors TV this morning - must say I was impressed by the pace of Mansell and Fittipaldi, but was generally disappointed by the
racing.
Same criticisms as F1 really, processional and dull.

Best racing I ever saw was years ago, 1000cc yamaha engined single seaters for under 16 year olds.
More action than an Arnie film, tantrums, 2 minor fights, 3 walking back to the pits in tears, thrown helmets, less than 50% finished. I was creased
up. Never saw it televised again though
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

If people continue to offer the (now rather predictable) "MotoGP is much better" answer to every thread about motorsport, they might as
well throw Horse Racing into the mix as well, lots of overtaking there and always a close finish so you must find it really exciting?!!
Probably not though, because the diciplines are totally different, as are bike racing vs car racing. What makes a car race interesting isnt
necessarily what makes a bike race interesting, FWIW I do like both but find them interesting for different reasons. Car racing I can relate to more
and appreciate the driving skills because to a lesser degree, I use the same skills when driving on track. Although I still appreciate how talented
the likes of Rossi are, having never ridden a bike in anger, I can't accurately appreciate or relate to the skills involved so it has les
inherent interest than a car race.

I do wonder how long GP Masters will survive if one of the drivers gets killed or seriously injured - I got the impression that the drivers'
wives had only let them drive on a limited license! And one top driver wasn't allowed to drive by SWMBO - Jody Scheckter?

Murray said during the commentary that Jody is happy being an organic farmer, he has said for a while that he is not wanting to race now. Think he is
probably happy supporting his sons career.
