- About Me:
I have been an F1 fan since I was a young'un and I have always tried to watch the races live ... I have even rushed home from a holiday early to catch a race!
I've only been to one race, the European GP in '93 at Donington Park. For those who don't remember, that was the race where Ayrton Senna started 4th, overtook all the cars in front to lead after one lap and lapped the whole field in an awful car. We stood at the Craner Curves and after the race he stopped right in front of me because his flag got caught in his rear wheels - I have a photo somewhere...
I'll always support the drivers who have a go and put a big effort in - something which only a few of today's drivers can manage!
Being an F1 in NZ was difficult - the European races started at Midnight on Sunday night (NZ is 12 hours ahead), so nobody really watches them. Worse still, you normally have to wait until Monday evening after work to see the race so you have to ignore ALL media and tell your workmates not to blab the result to you!
But Salvation from F1 Hell arrived in the form of a lovely Dane who I married and convinced me to move there ... and now I can experience F1 coverage in Danish and German, but at least watch it live!

Feel free to enjoy the contents of the community club from F1Wolf, personally I'm very pleased that you joined this space and I'm sure that Wolf is even happier with it :-)
I've had a wide smile with your story, ask to not being told about the results and avoiding media - it remembers me my own situation HAHAHA!!
I came to recommend you a group, the AT&T Williams F1 Team fan sector. Feel free to join it if you wish it!! Anyway, information from it always appears on the forum, so take a sneak peak and decide yourself.
Cheers!
