Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans Just wondering since the new Formula One season just started, how many NINs fans and F1 fans there were. I have had a few discussions with some of you. I use to go to the United States Grand Prix in Watkins Glen , NY when I was like 5 years old in 1970. I love Formula One. If I ever won the lottery I would follow the whole circuit around the world. I realize most Americans are more into Nascar, but with a new track being built in Houston maybe it will attract a larger US fan base. I'm a huge Ferrari fan now mostly because of Fernando Alonso. http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1246630#msg-1246630 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:14:30 -0700 Phorum 5.2.7 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1371432#msg-1371432 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1371432#msg-1371432 nan2112 General Discussion Sun, 13 May 2012 17:04:03 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1369021#msg-1369021 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1369021#msg-1369021 But I bleed Ferrari red and Alonso is my man.
I stated on the other thread predications for 2012:
1. Alonso
2. Button
3. Vettel
4. Hamilton
and what the heck Kimi or Schumaker for 5th but I am hoping this changes]]> nan2112 General Discussion Fri, 04 May 2012 17:30:02 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1368498#msg-1368498 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1368498#msg-1368498 dopefish_ posted:
I love F1. I watch it since 2004. Never missed a race since then.

Kimi Raikkonen is my all time favorite driver. So since 2010 I watch WRC & F1 :) Now I support Vettel in F1.

PS. So nice to see this thread on nin.com.

PPS. Glad to see Raikkonen fans too.

Good to see someone speaking about WRC, I love F1 and I watch every race I can but I can't enough of the WRC!]]> totozero18 General Discussion Thu, 03 May 2012 10:43:25 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1277344#msg-1277344 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1277344#msg-1277344 Rubeninphoenix General Discussion Sun, 31 Jul 2011 01:51:53 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1276315#msg-1276315 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1276315#msg-1276315

This is my least favorite race. I think it is totally boring. There really is no passing and unless it rains it is dull as can be. The scenery is beautiful, but that is it. They say it is the crown jewel of racing.
Also excited about Alonso signing with Ferrari until 2016!]]> nan2112 General Discussion Fri, 20 May 2011 16:14:31 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1251556#msg-1251556 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1251556#msg-1251556 nan2112 General Discussion Sun, 08 May 2011 16:49:30 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1251202#msg-1251202 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1251202#msg-1251202 BenAkenobi General Discussion Sat, 07 May 2011 07:18:01 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1250606#msg-1250606 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1250606#msg-1250606 nan2112 General Discussion Thu, 05 May 2011 14:48:30 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1247288#msg-1247288 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1247288#msg-1247288 OMS posted:
IMS tried to have F1, if I'm not mistaken...not sure what happened.

Too much money for hosting the event (like $26 million) and also that track sucked to be honest... When that 2005 tyre debacle happened I think everyone was done with F1 in America (at least at Indy).

I don't think Glock pulled over on purpose. He had no grip. That certainly sucked for Massa. He has not had the same form as that year. But I also think that Ferrari have not had a decent car since 2007. They have to let go of Aldo Costa and get some new faces on the design team.

I used to like Steve Matchett as a commentator, but he is so BORING. If you read any of his books it seems like that is all he talks about. It's not 1994/95 anymore Steve! He says the same things at every race. Maybe its because I watch FP2/Qualy/Race on SPEED... oh well. I like that they stream FP1/FP3 online now with only ambient noise. That sounds awesome.]]> RyanJ General Discussion Wed, 27 Apr 2011 12:44:04 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1247282#msg-1247282 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1247282#msg-1247282 I hope he dominates ! He is just way too cool. I think F1 was just too rigid in training and disipline for him (remember the gorilla suit)!!
I started in F1 when Emerson Fittipaldi, Jackie Stewart, David Hobbs (met him a bunch). I also met James Hunt a few times. I was at Watkins Glen when Francois Cevert was killed. As I got older I got to party with the McLaren mechanics and they would let me hang out on the pit wall and watch the race. After the Glen lost the United States Grand Prix in I think 1980 and the Canadien Grand prix wasn't in Mosport anymore, we didn't go to anymore races and I was more into partying. So I missed the whole Senna, Prost years. I got back into it when Micheal and Ferrari dominated. My parents are huge Shumacher fans, and I am a huge Alonso fan so I was glad when he beat him for the championship. I like Massa, Webber and Vettel. Can't stand Hamilton. If Glock wouldn't have pulled over in that last corner Hamilton would have never been champion and it would have and should have been Massa!
I like Speeds coverage of the races. Hobbs knows about driving, Matchett knows the technical end, Varsha is a good announcer and Buxton is a little hyper, but thank god they got rid of Peter Windsor. Man, I couldn't stand that guy!]]> nan2112 General Discussion Wed, 27 Apr 2011 12:24:11 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1247280#msg-1247280 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1247280#msg-1247280 OMS General Discussion Wed, 27 Apr 2011 11:54:37 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1247278#msg-1247278 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1247278#msg-1247278 OMS posted:
Sorry, I grew up in Indy (2 miles from the IMS)...so I should have said Indy 500 FTW.

I've not been to any other IRL race eventho I live 15 miles from the TMS. I can't stand Nascar.

Yeah, the 500 is a whole other breed when it comes to open-wheel racing. I wish Formula 1 drivers were still allowed to participate in the race. But that means halting the season for a whole month (besides the August break).]]> RyanJ General Discussion Wed, 27 Apr 2011 11:50:00 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1247261#msg-1247261 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1247261#msg-1247261

That is all.

IRL is such a waste of time. Nigel Mansell showed them that it's pretty damn easy to race with a bunch of Americans. Then Bourdais going to F1 was just a laugh!!! Even if he was with STR!

Hate NASCAR... Freakin love F1.

Can't hate NASCAR anymore now that JPM and Raikkonen are racing in it. They certainly make me follow it more.

I have been watching F1 since I was 3 years old. I have not missed a race, ever. Even through the domination of Ferrari, I watched every race. I've been to Montreal in 08 and 2010 and will be going back this year. Even though Indy was only 4 hours from my house I never wanted to go there because the track layout sucked and the infield sectors were just so blah... Next year I will be making the trek to Melbourne and Austin!

Still a Raikkonen fan and I really don't have a favorite in F1 anymore. I am a huge supporter of Di Resta though. He owned DTM and his skills are certainly translating to F1. I like Webber/Button too, but not as big a fan as I am of Raikkonen. He was certainly born/raced in the wrong era. He needed to be racing with James Hunt.

Excited for Turkey, sad to hear that it might be the last race there.]]> RyanJ General Discussion Wed, 27 Apr 2011 10:22:04 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1246965#msg-1246965 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1246965#msg-1246965
My dream was to be driving the car. I'm a pretty skilled driver, but that will never happen.... UNLESS... You wanna start a team? If an energy drink company can, why can't we? You'd probably do more wrenching than you'd like because I'd constantly be crashing.

The night before the race they would tear the car apart and put it back together at 4am. They use to wear regular shirts and dickie pants and I could stand on the pit wall and watch the race in NY and Canada. Now they are decked out as much as the drivers. I mean you could walk with the drivers and talk to them. Now you can't get near them.
Anyway my dream was to actually be a Formula One mechanic. Those cars are so technical, loud and fast.
I guess I just have to get off watching them race!! I love watching the race on a rainy Sunday morning!]]> nan2112 General Discussion Tue, 26 Apr 2011 05:25:41 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1246666#msg-1246666 Re: Formula One Fans and Nine Inch Nails Fans http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?7,1246630,1246666#msg-1246666 My favorite racing would still have to be OverSeas Touring Car series's and DTM, but I watch any F1 race that I happen to flip onto.
The greatest thing about F1 is that you can really get a sense of the speed on TV (unlike most other forms of racing that give the illusion that you could hang with them in a stock Camry).
I can only imagine the sights and sounds in person. I would love to attend an event.
