Once for ‘Insiders’ Only, an F1 Guide Goes Online for All

This will give me many hours of enjoyment.

Thank you for sharing.

 

+100. I live for these reference sites .

 

i understand bernie tried to buy the database but was rejected

 

Could not happen to amore deserving guy!

Who knows what it would cost if Bernie has his mitts on it.

 

Wow... just awesome! Thanks for posting!

 

Great find. Thanks!

 

Many thanks for this!

 

That's awesome...no frills central repository of information. Great find mate!

 

Very interesting stats on Massa. He's second in most win in the last 20 years for Ferrari next to MS. He also has a nice win percentage of 17% which is higher than Gilles and most Ferrari drivers. His win percentage was also nearly identical to Kimi. Great site!

 

How do you not get lost in this database? Amazing stuff.

 

+1!

Big thanks from stat hounds.

 

Thanks for the site! This is great data!!!!

Check out this circuit from 1959: AUTOMOBIL-VERKEHRS UND ÜBUNGS-STRASSE (AVUS)

This track will definitely spice up the lack of passing issue.

 

Man, 8.3KM?!?!?! That track is mental.

I have spent probably 3 hours on this site today...as an F1 noob, this is a huge resource to gain historical perspective.

ETA: Here is a great Wikipedia article on the afformentioned circuit:

Speaking of Wikipedia, here is a quick list with visuals of Formula 1 circuits:

If you ever played the game Grand Prix Legends, you could upload Avus as an add-on. It was pretty cool, but really hard to get used to. One of the great things about that game was all the 3rd party upgrades.

 

I've actually never had the opportunity to play that game...is it still available (as freeware perhaps??) It sounds fantastic! I was just looking at a birds-eye view of the part of the Autobahn on which this track existed; it's an unbelievable setting in SW Berlin.

 

As a confirmed stataholic. Thanks for the enabling

 

good find. thanks.
This would make F1 exciting ;P "turned into a steeply banked turn (43°) made of bricks. It became dubbed the "Wall of Death," especially as it had no retaining barrier so cars that missed the turn easily flew off it."
I'm glad the FIA strives for safety. Just think of what would've happened to Massa had he still worn a leather cap.

 

No kidding...for all the ribbing I give the FIA, this is the single most important achievement.

43 degrees of banked bricks? WOW!

 

Whoa! Don't discount the importance of the race day beer thread!

 

Thanks for the link - awesome site!!

All the best,
Andrew.

 

This is my first introduction to the RDBT and I must say I concur.
