Well did anyone take my advice and watch the Belgian Grand Prix. Twas a fantastic race, I wish it had rained the whole way but it was still a great race. Hakkinen's pass of Schumacher will be talked about for many years, especially if he goes on to win his third championship in a row. Lot's of action for an F1 race, but there always is at Spa.

I remember a few years ago you could pay like $10-15k and go to Spa and do 30 laps in a F2000 or 3000 car and then get 15 laps in a several year old F1 car. I think it was one from the active suspension antilock brake automatic transmission era and was probably detuned some, but still probably had 500-600hp. Don't know if they still do it but it would almost be worth it, except I could never ever ever fit my legs into one of those cars.
