Pity - you'd love it.

Couldn't agree more. In Monaco they managed to get Button in the box for
the race. They also have a feature whereby the can chat live to a team
manager on the pit wall at specified periods during the race for some
banter. They don't give everything away of course. but they don;t hold back. 

>BTW, have you ever gone to the Goodwood Festival of Speed?

It's something I've always wanted to do but never done! You've reminded
me of it, IO might just look it up and see if I'm free....





Cheers,
  Cotty
