it has insinuated itself into ALL other threads..............even now it is lurking in all shadowy corners of the forum waiting to devour new threads. Even the Forum Ghost recoils from its evil.

Yeah this one's like a black hole. Any thread in the close proximity gets sucked in

Its the off topic thread which consists of severly off topic posts, that would never be deemed on topic by the big boss.........

But then does going off topic in the off topic thread mean that we are actually on topic?

Double negatives make a positive they say. But the contrary is not true: Double positives do not constitute a negative. Yeah, right!

We all have to be a little "off" to try and explain the logic, if any, behind this thread

This is the place where I move any discussions that are 'off topic' from a 'topiced' thread

. These discussions don't seem to have any particular theme to create a separate thread for them.

Perhaps this thread should be renamed, 'Just Chattin' or perhaps 'The Dump'

What say you ?

China and Turkey are the same and Malaysia to a degree (with only Alex Yoong).

As I understand it, the area concentrates on rallying and while they are no World Champions from there, several drivers from that area have competed at the international level with varying degrees of success. Ben Sulayem is like the Michael Schumacher of the Middle East!

As for the wealth, I think gkaytaz is right

I also suspect that despite Dubai being the most popular place over there and their ambitions to hold an F1 race, I think their decision to setup the A1 series meant that they will not have an F1 race!
To my knowledge there are two Turkish GP2 currently active. I don't know of an active Chinese driver at this time. I hope they will get involved more. There must be some talented fellas out of a billion people

That chap driving for the chinese A1 team doesnt look too bad.....
