Brabham
Thanks for the note. I'd assumed it would get there sooner or later - I've never been able to face the thought of trying to navigate the nomination process. Hopefully I can get some more spring cleaning done before the 2nd!
Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 07:02, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
- Copyediting for most of it would be useful, if you have time to spare for it. I'd avoid the F1 racing history section though, as I think I need to add more refs and possibly do some more fundamental re-writing there. Don't worry if you don't have time, though! 4u1e (talk) 19:11, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Many thanks. No argument with your changes. IIRC F1 articles tend to pick up less vandalism than some others while on the front page, so hopefully not too much damage tomorrow. And it could pick up some useful edits. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 19:01, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
GB Cup
It's in the pipeline - just need to write articles to get a couple of races in a row first! Plan is to get the first three races done, and then to move on to the later races, which had far better coverage and should be easier to write articles for. Just a struggle to find the time at the moment. Thanks for the PR on Spain '80 BTW, it's really helped give me some ideas on how to move the article forward :) AlexJ (talk) 12:24, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – 1980 Spanish Grand Prix, currently listed for Peer Review
 The 1980 Spanish Grand Prix (formally the XXVI Gran Premio de Espana) was a Formula One motor race held on June 1, 1980 at Circuito Permanente del Jarama. Originally scheduled to be part of the 1980 Formula One World Championship, following the running of the race it was announced that World Championship points would not be awarded to the competitors, making it a non-championship race. The winner of the race was Alan Jones, driving for the Williams team. Jochen Mass finished second for Arrows and Elio de Angelis third for Team Lotus. Owing to disputes as part of the FISA-FOCA war, the race went ahead without the teams of Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Renault, because the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA), then the governing body of Formula One, had declared the race illegal. The other teams drove the race, now sanctioned by the Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA). All teams competing in the race ran Ford engines. Carlos Reutemann, Nelson Piquet and Didier Pironi all retired from the race whilst in the lead, Reutemann due to a collision and Pironi and Piquet because of mechanical problems. Only six of the twenty-two drivers who took the start of the race made it to the end, and only three were on the lead lap.

With a view to the future, I have opened up a workpage, here, in which I am listing source materials that may be useful in the expansion and improvement of the Amundsen expedition article. If you're still interested in working on this later in the year, you may like to add a few other sources.
I'm a little clearer on my timetable now. I've just sent my current biographical project, Percy Grainger, to peer review. If things go OK there, it might be at FAC by around 22 May and perhaps through by early June. Next week I am starting on my next project, Kathleen Ferrier which I hope will be finished by early July. Then, until about mid-August, I will be working on the Messiah with Tim riley. So I'll be ready for serious work on Amundsen by around the middle of August – that should leave plenty of time to get the article up to FA standard, and promoted to be TFA on the Great Day. Incidentally, I can't understand why Air-tractor sledge isn't getting more FAC attention; it's an excellent article, and I'm hoping that the critical third support will arrive soon. Brianboulton (talk) 18:59, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
- I'm still keen to do it, and a mid-August start sounds fine to me. I'm working (very slowly) on Far Eastern party, and am planning to tackle Australasian Antarctic Expedition after that. Work's been fairly busy recently (marking papers, mainly) but that should clear up in a couple of weeks and I can push on the articles. Thanks for putting together this reading list; you're more familiar with the source material than me and this will help my preparation enormously. As for Air-tractor sledge, I think part of the problem is that I haven't reviewed too many other articles while it's been at FAC, as that tends to attract attention to the reviewer's own nomination; hopefully I'll be able to knock off a couple in the next week or so. I don't currently have another article ready to go, so it's not critical I get a quick pass. With two supports and no opposes, it's not likely to be archived, anyway. Apterygial talk 00:38, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
- Just a note to say I've started reading Huntford's The Last Place on Earth. I accept it might not be the most neutral account, but it seems a good read and I should be able to balance it with the other accounts after. Apterygial talk 12:19, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
AMX FAC round four
We have renominated AMX for FAC. Fourth times a charm? — GabeMc (talk) 22:28, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments, they were most insightful and helpful. We welcome anymore you might have. — GabeMc (talk) 03:04, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- No worries. I had a look a the article's talk page; it's a credit to all involved that the article is in so good a state. Apterygial talk 03:41, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

The 1906 French Grand Prix was a motor race held on 26 and 27 June 1906, on closed public roads outside the city of Le Mans. The Grand Prix was organised by the Automobile Club de France (ACF) at the prompting of the French automobile industry as an alternative to the Gordon Bennett races, which limited each competing country's number of entries regardless of the size of its industry. The ACF chose a 103.18-kilometre (64.11 mi) circuit, composed primarily of dust roads sealed with tar, which would be lapped six times on both days by each competitor, a combined race distance of 1,238.16 kilometres (769.36 mi). Lasting for more than 12 hours overall, the race was won by Ferenc Szisz driving for the Renault team. Renault's victory contributed to an increase in sales for the French manufacturer in the years following the race. Despite being the second to carry the title, the race has become known as the first Grand Prix. The success of the 1906 French Grand Prix prompted the ACF to run the Grand Prix again the following year, and the German automobile industry to organise the Kaiserpreis, the forerunner to the German Grand Prix, in 1907.

Congratulations re : 1906 French Grand Prix FA
Apterygial and AlexJ,
Looking at the article's history, you both clearly did a lot of work on today's featured article. Congratulations on making front page! -- Guroadrunner (talk) 08:57, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- Aw, shucks, thanks! Great to see it's getting attention! Apterygial talk 08:59, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – Brabham, featured on the main page (May 2)
 Motor Racing Developments Ltd., commonly known as Brabham, was a British racing car manufacturer and Formula One racing team. Founded in 1960 by two Australians, driver Jack Brabham and designer Ron Tauranac, the team won four drivers' and two constructors' world championships in its 30-year Formula One history. Jack Brabham's 1966 drivers' championship remains the only such achievement using a car bearing the driver's own name. In the 1960s, Brabham was the world's largest manufacturer of open wheel racing cars for sale to customer teams, and had built more than 500 cars by 1970. During this period, teams using Brabham cars won championships in Formula Two and Formula Three and competed in the Indianapolis 500. In the 1970s and 1980s, Brabham introduced innovations such as the "fan car"—which won its only race before being withdrawn—in-race refuelling, carbon brakes, and hydropneumatic suspension. The team won two more Formula One drivers' championships in the 1980s with Brazilian Nelson Piquet, and became the first to win a drivers' championship with a turbocharged car. British businessman Bernie Ecclestone owned Brabham during most of the 1970s and 1980s, and later became responsible for administering the commercial aspects of Formula One. Ecclestone sold the team in 1988. Its last owner was the Middlebridge Group, a Japanese engineering firm. Midway through the 1992 season, the team collapsed financially as Middlebridge was unable to make repayments against loans provided by Landhurst Leasing. The case was investigated by the United Kingdom Serious Fraud Office. In 2009, an unsuccessful attempt was made by a German organisation to enter the 2010 Formula One season using the Brabham name.

Hi! I read on your userpage that you can review articles on request. I noticed you reviewed Franz Burgmeier's. I'm having some problems to find a reviewer for the article I've been working lately, so I'd certainly appreciate if you could take the time to do it. Many Thanks. --Gunt50 (talk) 20:47, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll have a look at it. It looks like it needs a bit of a copyedit though, hope you don't mind? Apterygial talk 00:57, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- I assessed most of your concerns on the nomination (however I still have to find a reliable source to replace the USA Today dead link). I'd like you to take a look at the changes since I don't think there's much to do now. I'm all ears to more suggestions. --Gunt50 (talk) 20:28, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't have time to get to it now but I'll try to have a look tomorrow. I agree with you; we're getting close. Apterygial talk 13:39, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Air-tractor sledge
Belated congratulations on this article's promotion to FA, well deserved. By the way, I have opened a workpage here, to list sources and other material that might be useful for the Amundsen's expedition article later this summer. Please add to it anything that you think might be helpful. Brianboulton (talk) 18:54, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- If you can spare the time in the next 10 days or so, I'd be very grateful if you could read through Kathleen Ferrier at peer review. I know it's not in your usual ambit, but a wide spectrum of viewpoints can often be more illuminating than the comments of experts. If impossible, no problems. Brianboulton (talk) 18:34, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Certainly. I should be able to get there in the next few days. As for Amundsen, next on my reading list is his South Pole; after that I'll probably tackle one of the biographies you've listed. If I do find any other useful sources, I'll add them to the list. Apterygial talk 04:37, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
Keeping you fully informed: Ferrier is now at FAC. Progress on my current project (joint with Tim riley), Messiah, has been good; I would expect this to be at PR in early July. So I should be able to start some serious Amundsen work a little earlier than I had anticipated. Brianboulton (talk) 23:41, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- FYI: I have started a revised and extended Background section for the Amundsen expedition article (the present section is rubbish). Working in sandboxes, will post soon. Brianboulton (talk) 15:42, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – 1995 Brazilian Grand Prix; promoted to WP:GA quality
 The 1995 Brazilian Grand Prix (formally the XXIV Grande Prêmio do Brasil) was a Formula One motor race held on March 26, 1995 at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, São Paulo, Brazil. It was the first round of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 71 laps, was won by Michael Schumacher for the Benetton team after starting from second position. David Coulthard finished second in a Williams, with Gerhard Berger third in a Ferrari. Damon Hill, who started the race from pole position, spun out while leading on lap 30 with an apparent gearbox problem, which was later found to be a suspension failure. Schumacher's win came despite Benetton encountering steering problems with his car during Friday practice, leading to him crashing heavily and necessitating steering component changes for the rest of the event. Despite Schumacher's victory, Hill proved to be faster during the race, and seemed to be on course for a comfortable victory before his sudden retirement. Other notable performances came from Berger, who took the final podium position despite being delayed during one of his routine pit stops due to a problem with a loose wheel nut; Mika Häkkinen, who finished fourth for the McLaren team despite its new car proving to be uncompetitive in pre-season testing; and Mika Salo, who drove strongly in the first half of the race to run third in his first Grand Prix for the Tyrrell team, only to suffer from cramp and drop back to seventh place at the finish. Behind Häkkinen, the other points-scoring finishers were Jean Alesi in the second Ferrari and Mark Blundell, who drove the second McLaren. Blundell was standing in for regular driver Nigel Mansell in the second McLaren until the team could produce a wider chassis in which to accommodate him, as the car's initial cockpit design had proved to be too narrow for him to drive comfortably. Several hours after the conclusion of the race, Schumacher and Coulthard were excluded from the race result as the chemical "fingerprint" of fuel samples from their cars taken after qualifying and the race did not match the specified sample lodged with the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) prior to the event. Berger was thus declared the winner, but the race stewards' decision to exclude them was overturned at an appeal hearing on April 13. Schumacher and Coulthard were reinstated in first and second places respectively, but the two teams did not receive their respective constructors' points. The Ferrari team was unhappy with the decision made at the appeal hearing; Berger called the sport "a joke". The rule concerning the legality of fuels had been changed for the 1995 season, as had the new standardised equipment used for refuelling during the race, the drivers' weighing-in procedure and the conditions of the drivers' racing licences; all of these changes produced controversies which at times threatened to overshadow the race, as did the excessively bumpy condition of the track. The race also marked the first Brazilian Grand Prix to take place since the death of Brazilian triple World Champion Ayrton Senna the previous year; his passing was commemorated in various ways throughout the event.
