Continental Grand Prix 4000

Advantages: Lightweight and fast, should be hard wearing...
Disadvantages: Expensive, but worth it !

...Just been for my first ride on my new Continental Grand Prix 4000 tyres, and thought I'd let you know about them. I know it's only a first use test, but will update this review when I've had them for a while. Also, I've assumed that if you're reading this, you have some interest and/or knowledge of bicycles. I hope that's OK... Continental have over 100 years experience in the development and production of road and mountain bike tyres, at the Continental Two-Wheel division's technology and development centre in Korbach in Germany. The Grand Prix 4000 road/race tyre is the sucessor to the excellent Grand Prix 3000 that I've had on my bike for 2 years or so. It's a "clincher" tyre (as opposed to a tubular tyre), so should fit most road/race wheels/rims. It was a bit of a narrow decision between these and the Continental Attack...

Review of Continental Grand Prix 4000

grand Prix 3......

Advantages: everything!!!!11
Disadvantages: needs a high spec pc

...Well, basically it goes like this.... Formula one is a growing form of motorsport. It is a multi-million pound business, and now you get to be a part of it in the form of the great game, grand prix 3. Formula one games allow you to race a round the great F1 world championship tracks, allowing you to race around at top speed past great sporting landmarks, such as the fairground wheel at the japanes circuit. You can choose from any of the worlds' Formula 1 drivers, and race around in any of the formula 1 cars. The only trouble is that it requires quite a high spec PC, as its impressive visuals need a good graphics card and RAM, a good 64mb ram and a voodoo 3 should give decent results. You can plug in a controller, or just use the keyboard, but a controller is better! If you like formula one, or just racing games in general, I...

Continental Grand Prix MTB

Advantages: Make an MTB better on road
Disadvantages: Can be hard to find. No good off road

...Continental have produced the Grand Prix tyre in mtb size. 26" x 1" It has the same tread pattern as the road tyre and is very light (c.200g) Foldable too - with a kevlar bead I rode them on my Specialised mtb over the summer on a commute (8 miles each way) and they are superb for use on the road. It is the closest to a road bike tyre that I have ever seen, is very responsive and feels fast! If you ride an mtb mostly on the road and can feel the energy sapping from your legs with big knobbly tyres, you could do far worse than get a pair of these! They seem very durable too and can be inflated to decent pressures too - I ran them at close to 100 psi They are quite rare in shops and I had to search through a few on line stores to find one that listed them and had them in stock....

Macau Grand Prix

Advantages: Compact & Cool!
Disadvantages: cannot ride on the real racing models

...This is a museum celebrating the Grand Prix Car Racing. The Macau Grand Prix started in 1954 due to the enthusiasm of a group of Macau residents and the support of the authorities. The museum opened in 1993 to bring a closer relationship between the people and the event. Original Formula 1 models, motorcycles that have driven by world class champions are shown. Visitors will get a glimpse of the history of the development of the grand prix in this tiny city. There are around 20 cars on display. The Museum pays special tribute to people who have contributed to the Grand Prix. They are Ayrton Senna, John Corsmit, Teddy Yip, Paul Du Toil, Laurel and many others. Besides, the racing simulators allow visitors to experience the excitment of being in the race track. Address: Rua Luis Gonzaga Gomes, 431, basement (Tourism Activities Centre...

Review of Grand Prix Museum (Macau)

(Another) Grand Prix2 Review.

Advantages: one of greatest ever F1 games, can adjust the car alot, realistic (for it's time)
Disadvantages: Getting on a bit now (DOS + based on 1994 season)

...the races. I eventually figured out it can be key operated with the following keys A = Accelerate Z = Brake Alt + Space Bar = changes the gears < , key = LEFT > . key = right F1 = I normally use this for toggling the computer controlled braking system on / off (e.g. so I can brake slightly later). Laptimes on the circuits (from the 1994 season) are roughly 10seconds off the pace of the real thing..... except on the Canadian Grand Prix, which is pretty much actually speed. I rather like this circuit, as I can normally beat Michael Schumacher's 1994 lap record easily, and can do laptimes that would have put me alongside him on the front row of the grid in the real race :-) After I bought a newer computer in 2002 and installed the game the sound actually worked........ from what I remember lasttime I played the game (sometime last...

The Grandest Prix of All

Advantages: Great graphics and sound and super realistic all round.
Disadvantages: Some niggling omissions and glitches.

...Grand Prix 4 by Infrogrames is the latest formula one inspired creation from the master of racing simulators Geoff Crammond. Since his first simulation which was released on the BBC Micro computer in the early eighties (Revs) Mr Crammond's titles have become the benchmark for all programmers to aspire to. The latest title has all the hallmarks of a classic, but as well as being a superb simulation, there are some features incorporated which will appeal more to the arcade racer. The game simulates the 2001 season with all 17 tracks being included and the relevant teams and drivers. This is slighty dissapointing as the game is already out of date despite having only been released for a few months. Maybe it would have been better to release the game a bit later, say in time for Christmas so the most recent season could have been...

Bon Prix - Never Again!

Advantages: Lovely clothes, very reasonable in price
Disadvantages: No Communication, very slow

...I bought clothings from Bon Prix over a year ago and apart from their very slow service, I was very pleased with the clothes, style, sizing and amazed at how reasonably priced they were. Communication with them is very poorly as initially they used to send a letter when an item was out of stock but my recent dealings with Bon Prix have been a living nightmare. I placed an order online in August 2007. I must admit, the Bon Prix website is user friendly, easy to navigate and very simple to place orders. However, once I had chosen my items and placed the order I realised I had not been given an option to have a different delivery address as the invoice address and I had no idea how to change it. I contacted them by email to change the delivery address and they responded 2days later that they were looking into the inquiry. Funny...

Review of BonPrix

  A Grande Design!!

Advantages: The Bodywork and standard features
Disadvantages: My Passenger Electric Window!

...I have decided on a break from my normal Beauty product reviews. I have been considering writing a review on my Car for a while but the fact that I don't have a scrap of technical knowledge had put me off. Please do not be fooled into thinking this will be a Jeremy Clarksonesque review - It really won't be! Anyway I have decided to bite the bullet and fancied a challenge so prepare yourself for a girls guide to the Grande Punto! So why a Punto then? Several years ago I learned to drive and passed my test in a Punto. After passing my test and thinking I would be most comfortable driving a car I was already used to I decided to purchase a Punto. I also needed a reliable car which was fairly cheap to run and wanted a small model which had easily obtainable parts should the need arise. My first was the first basic three door shape. I...

Review of Fiat Grande Punto

Close To Impossible

Advantages: Lovingly created representation of old style GP racing
Disadvantages: Extremely Hard

...Most Grand Prix driving simulations or for that matter most driving games in rallying or touring cars have as the main point that they are up-to-date contemporary versions of their respective championships. Grand Prix legends is different in that it takes as its subject the Formula 1 championship of 1967. This is taking you back to the days when motor racing was gentleman’s game, when there was very little advertising and sponsorship and the cars grip on the road was as tenuous as Geri Halliwellis is on reality. The cars must have been enormously difficult to drive if Grand prix legends accurately replicates their ability to accelerate, brake or go round corners. I have tried the game many times and have still to complete more than a few laps. Of course modern grand prix cars have the advantage of downforce created by wings...
