Re: F1 2025
Beware “Loonie Lando” coming down a slip road near you!
See viewtopic.php?f=90&t=253891#p1668808.
He makes Mad Max look reasonable.
The helicopter coverage of the rest was quite interesting.

Re: F1 2025
Testing
Longer street circuits would make for better racing for the current high powered cars coupled with a staggered start based on lap time differential.
A 10mile lap around central Paris’s boulevards would be interesting and lucrative for F1.

Re: Strategic Defence Review - 2025
Cottesmore’s runway had heavies making night landings last year or perhaps late 2023. Wittering was used more recently. This could be used without too much upgrade maybe. The road access via A1 would be a great benefit in emergency. Peterborough has the mainline rail connection. So Wittering upgrade...
