I don't mind either. But yeah, like James my newbie-ness might be an issue.

Do you have any more articles prepared? From your posting style on the forum and the one article you've posted already, I think you should be OK for the job James, but I'd like to see one more article first and then I'll decide. :) I'm not rushing you though, take as long as you need, there are no pending articles at the moment (except Toni's post about Maldonado but it's a little too late to post now, the news is old)

:thumbsup:

I have decided as part of the History section to do a once-a-month or once-an-every-other month feature called "Confusing Matters", where we put to rest incorrect notions that fans and even self-professed buffs believe as the truth, but have been misinformed/mistaken.

My first article on this matter is with regards to the early years of F1, particularly 1950 to 1960 - spurred on by the discussion in Video Requests over the last few days.

If anyone has any future ideas, feel free to prepare them for the future. :thumbsup:

No worries, I haven't posted anything because I've been working.

I'm hoping to do a mid-Winter round up of the teams and drivers confirmed for the 2011 BTCC after the Autosport show. I'm hoping to have more teams/cars confirmed by then

Latest article's ready for reviewing - I know it's sort of straying into F1 which I said I wouldn't do but it covers a variety of things :smiley:

Sorry, but I'm working a helluva lot lately, I haven't got time to run the forum as well at the moment.

can somebody review the article on PTRACER's behalf?
I understand that he's busy, his work occupies him a lot. but the show must go on, can someone review the article I wrote about Ferrari?
The new car will be launched in 5 days and my article would be outdated, making the time I spent on it completely pointless.
thanks

Well, I have drafted up part 1 of my Remembering Gilles Villeneuve article. The first part is more of a general summary of his pre-F1 career, whilst the next two parts (possibly more) will be more opinionated, detailing each of his seasons in F1.

Got a bit of tweaking to do here and there, but it's getting there.

Did my last article go through, Paul? I know you said you couldn't see the last one I sent

No rush, though :)
