Grand Prix SE
The DVD Times is reporting that a region 1 version of a fully restored version of the great F1 movie is being released. It features a restored 65mm to DVD video transfer and a remastered 5.1 soundtrack.
It also features a bunch of documentaries, 4 of which have not been released before.
I'm not sure about a region 2 release date (or even if it's coming here) so I would pick it up from your local R1 distributor.

Of the 22 teams…..
That submited a request to enter the 2008 F1 championship season only 12 can actually make it. That makes 10 unlucky teams looking for somewhere else to invest their time and efforts.
Pitpass today reports that the teams that where not successful are finding the bad news in their post today.
So with some luck we should have a pretty definitive list of the 2008 runners before the FIA announce it on the 28th.
Oh the quote that pitpass have? that sounds a bit like Paul Stoddard to me, but I could be wrong.

Europe starts
The European leg of the season kicks off this weekend with the Imola GP. Why is this important? well the European leg of the season usually sees the introduction of the parts that the production and design teams have been working hard on at home while the race teams have been abroad.
We now know from the news and rumours going around already that Imola is going to be an important GP. Renault have admitted to a new evolution on Fisi's engine (Alonso will have to wait a GP or take a 10 place penalty). Toyota admitted before the season started that a team was working on a 'European' car, so expect a step up for them. Williams and engine partner have said they have worked out what the issue with the Cosworth reliability was, and fixed that; and that's already one of the best V8's on the grid performance wise. Honda have put 'countermeasures' in place to solve the exploding engine syndrome that Button suffered. To add to that BMW have increased power to their V8, and Red Bull / Toro Rosso have plenty of money to do something.
