Somehow the topic of Formula 1 racing got going at the roulette table.  I wouldn’t say that I am an absolute fanatic follower of Formula 1, but I do follow the odd race and glance at the results once in a while.

My favorite race of the season, by far, is Monaco.  The allure and class of Monaco is special.  Race tracks are boring in comparison.  The wealth and class of Monaco, all the huge yachts and then of course there is the gambling in Monte Carlo…

Last night I happened to be sitting next to a guy that worked in the pits for one of the racing teams based in the UK.  So we got talking. I was interested in how Jenson Button was doing because although he started off the season incredibly well, the other drivers were catching up.  He gave some great insight into what happens behind the scenes.

Then we got onto cars, how the cars have had to change this season and which was the best racing car etc… but what I was really interested in, is that he said you can have driving experiences in a Supercar at racing circuits in the UK and Europe… Now that would be cool!!  Although I would love to own a Supercar, practically I am probably never going to… but if I could just drive one for a day… dream on…
