A new idea

I said I was looking into doing this, and the only way to be certain about that is to take a leap and do it. So I have, here's the first post on my second blog, An Armchair View of the Pits.

This blog will consist mainly of my own views and opinions about motorsport, and that'll most usually be related to Formula 1. I might occasionally write something about other categories, perhaps the odd piece on GP2, some touring cars, endurance racing and if I really fancy making a fool out of myself, I can write something about NASCAR.

It'll mainly be opinion based entries though. There's no point in writing up race reviews. You've watched the races and if you want to read a recap of events, you can go to many other websites who can go into far more detail and tell you things I barely heard about (despite my best intentions).

So...a little about me for anyone new out there.

I'm Thomas, a German student at the University of Leeds. I've followed Formula 1 full time since 1996, with my first race that I can remember being in 1995. I've always been fascinated by the sport; the bright colours, the sound of the engines, the thousands of fans lining the tracks around the world. It's a wonderful sport to follow.

I've written a few pieces about F1 on my other blog which I'll repost on here over the coming days, just to give a bit more about myself. Then, over the coming weeks and months, I'll continue to post bits and pieces. There's no real goal from this aside from sharing some thoughts about something that matters a lot to me. Hopefully someone reads this stuff and like it, and maybe I can get some discussion going from certain topics.


Thanks for reading this, and I hope you enjoy future posts.
