Hungarian Grand Prix Trip

[Shamrock128]

Well after a three week break filled with off track controversy, it's time to get back to the real action.

This time I decided to go with the organised tour run by a company here in Dublin, they charter the Monarch 757 for most of their tours.

Today's route takes us across the Irish Sea towards Liverpool & Manchester before passing over Amsterdam and heading on across Germany and The Czech Republic to the beautiful city of Budapest.


Our plane awaits us.......

Well it seems the action off the track may well be more interesting than the racing after all :-roll Oh well there's always next year..................

Great stuff again Irish. I fell asleep during the race, but it looks like you shots are far more exciting than the race was ;)

Helicopters can't fly; they're just so ugly the earth repels them.

Love these posts :D

Keep them up!

[FesterShinetop]

This must have been one of the most boring races ever, but your shots make up for it!! Great ones!!!

[wildride]

Nice shots!

But... How can you call any Schumi win NOT-Exciting? :D *Schumi Fan*







*runs*

[FesterShinetop]

Hehe, no need to run! Well, I am not talking about Schumi but the race in general. I have been watching F1 races for 15 years now and I don't have a very clear favorite. I just like the sport very much, but the last race was just extremely boring, no matter who you're a fan of ;) There has not been ONE overtaking (for position) in the entire race I think...
Let's hope Spa will bring some more excitement!

[Shamrock128]

Thanks for all the replies guys :7

Fester I agree with you on this race! It wasn't the fact Schumacher ran away with it again that made it boring. It's just there was nothing much going on behind him either!

While it can get a bit repetitive watching Schumacher win all the time, I have long ago resigned myself to the fact that he is likely to go down in history as the most successful F1 driver ever. I just can't see the same set of circumstances happening again that will allow another driver to catch up on all of his records! So I just try to enjoy it.

In the mean time I'm looking forward to Spa, it's great to have it back on the calender and there are plenty of chances to overtake there!

Thanks again for the replies :-jumpy

Another set of great shots in this series Al! :-cool
