Hi ,

Don’t be a jerk. Sounds simple enough but last week I brought you some reminders just in case you forgot while on the track. I also had some great advice on getting into the right state of mind, where you can get some F1 team licensed simulators and the awesome McMurtry Spéirling PURE VP1 fan car.

Sound good? Let's see what else you missed last week!

Tracks like the one used for the 1957 Pescara Grand Prix that set the record for the longest ever F1 track.
