Adrian Elkin Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 A reasonably interesting hour. Gave me an inkling of what actually happened in the rest of the race as all I was looking out for was how the 3 British Caterham teams were doing whilst I was there. Commentary was simply awful though. It was clear that the guy in the hot seat had done zero research beforehand. According to him, we're all driving "Chaterhams", and he was condracending in the extreme to their efforts, even the Challange Consulting car that came 11' overall. Turnip!!!

F355GTS Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 It was b****y awful wasn't it, The Caterhams were only shown for a total of about 30 seconds and as you say were referred to as Chaterhams and later on as Carterhums I had assumed that Chrysler had sponsered the show seeing as 98% was about the Viper!

Graeme Smith Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Not Motors TV regulars are you? Yep, the commentator had done no research - as with all the motorsport he commentates on, he just translates from the original French. Its quite funny sometimes... And car 30 and 125 did get some footage - I'm sure there were dozens of other cars, which might have been higher placed, got no coverage what so ever.

Jam Mad Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 if anyone can get me a copy of that, either on loan, or by sale, or for a chyaridee donation, please get in touch. i was on team 125, and would love to see it from the 'other side', so to speak. j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven in SA Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Has anyone got a list of the cars that the seven's beat. I think it would be nice to shut a few people up when they ask about my 'funny little car'. It would also be great to see exactly how many bigger supposedly better cars that team 125 beat. I would be really p****d of having spent wads on a Porche to be taken by a 1.4. But then again I chose a seven which is always a wiser choice.

Mark Giles Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Try a visit to the race site www.24h-rennen.de The full finishing list should be there, and hourly results I think. And lots of pictures. If you look REALLY close, in start Norschleife, there's a picture of an Alfa being followed by a Blue BMW and then you can see my front wheel and headlight teeth.gif heading into the carousel. (I took them on the way out, he-he) Edited by - mark giles on 14 Jun 2002 10:28:58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Smith Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I've taped this morning's repeat of the programme, so I've now got 2 copies. (Knowing Motors Tv, it'll be on again...). Jam, drop me your address and I'll send you a copy for a loan at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Elkin Posted June 14, 2002 Author Share Posted June 14, 2002 Nic, The full race results at www.24h-rennen.de can be found here. And for the class results look here. Jam, you'll see a familiar face holding a very ancient looking camera at some point! wink.gif Edited by - Adrian Elkin on 14 Jun 2002 14:45:49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
