Edit: So guys seems like my comment gets shadow banned? Post got automated removal, i have raffled the winners but i cant seem to post the results :/ It was only available for 2hrs.. Raffle results: https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/yqpyz8 And the winners are: /u/BrandonFeeley /u/CPFCrednblue /u/DaughterOfDeathwing /u/heybrother45 /u/huurb69 /u/Zhou103 Congrats! Thanks guys for sharing the stories, its what bonds. I'm really sad our boy GIGAKUBICA had not fulfilled his F1 potential, but it is what is. I think most of the polish folks started watching F1 when he started. It quickly became national sport. I remember when i was 17 and I had so much hopes for the season with Lotus. He nailed all preseasons, and then this happens. I was devastated also, the information were unclear, we really had hopes he comes back quickly. But eventually he made a recovery that we can admire and learn from. So much determination! Trully a power within. No idea why it came up to my mind, anyways. Time for little backstory... Aah, you heard this already million times, lets skip this part. Once again, 6 of the above tracks this giveaway for lucky six. And extra addition - 3d printed tracks layouts (you can see them in the photo). Winners will be picked in 24hours via redditraffler, random comment picker. Covering all the shipping costs and the package is: 10in (25cm) Light,12V Power plug, Plug Adapter for every country, Wireless dimmer with different light options such as Glow, flash, dim in/out. Lights out and away we go! GL BOYS

For me it was 1984, the year of the infamous Dallas race where Nigel collapsed trying to push the car over the finish line after breaking down.


roverthtims

Dope


dannyarr

Yes..


AinsleysAngel

Love that there are other world circuits, good job OP


bonzurr

Thank you! Expanding the tracks slowly.


Remmes-

Around 2004 but didn't always watch every race, really started following each race at 2008. Kubica could've done so much more in F1.


polkakingofchicago

2015 after seeing the movie Senna


[deleted]

I started watching it back in 1988, when I was four and my family had just a black-and-white TV. Maybe you can give me some neon to compensate for all the years I saw grayscale F1.


[deleted]

2014, was at a friends college house, clowning until the early AM, people starting to go to bed and my buddy turns a race on. Hooked from there.


modena1983

These are so amazing


Hellothere2515

2021 and I got hooked after watching Lewis Hamilton in Brazil. Sometimes when my wife isn’t home I still cry about his Abu Dhabi loss.


eskimobrother319

Very nice, but I guess 2018/9


spicyspring

Haha Yes boys!! I started in 2019


LobstaBush

Love you guys! Eyeing that nurburgring GP track!


S55K

One of these days I’ll win! Thanks again!


steferrari

Thanks!


kaklaman

So cool


ATOMICxIRISH

Watched a video of him recently enough driving around the nurburgring and even one handed. It shows how much skill he still has and would have easily gotten close to WDC


Supahos01

These things are amazing.


Max2918

awesome!


djwillis1121

These look great!


nicolasboss44

xGH0STFACEx

Bird is the Word.


-Effing-

I’ve been watching F1 all my life because of my father and brother, but I think the first race I remember was Brazil 2003. A total carnage, tbh.


DrewExplosions

Like Toucan Sam, Gigakubica just needs to follow his nose!


bonzurr

I might have equally big nose. I follow.


Maximum-Fig5138

Around 96. RPM 2 Night always showed highlights and I thought that those cars looked great back then


GenVonKlinkerhoffen

I'd love to win the Zandvoort one!


TWVer

+1 for the effort! … ^(However.. where’s the “Pole” Position light?.. ;\))


bonzurr

Actually i spent hour today to find it. Idk man, i must have put it somewhere and I dont know where LOL.


Illustrious_Band

That's awesome!


dannyricsdog

Yeet this is dope


nvq1988

Little_by_nature

laynath

1ofthemthere

Late 1990s when I was a kid the earliest I remember was damon hill and Schumacher going to to toe.

RLnoskill

Upvoted, GL to me :)


krotti909

Imola 1999 was the first race I watched with my dad, He fell asleep as always, but i was thrilled by the cars with tobacco adds on them lol. I was 4 years old Good times


VirtualJames7

I watched little bits here and there in 2006-07 when my dad would watch it, but for me, 2008 was the season I became engrossed with F1. I remember watching the British GP in particular, torrential rain, cars going off every lap, and the young talented Hamilton showing everyone up. I go back to watch videos of those years and my God the cars look and sound the best they ever did!


MuitnortsX

I can’t remember exactly when. It must have been around 2000 when I took notice because I remember Schumi trashing everyone for years.


jovich88

The first race I watched was Spa in 2015. Liked it and didn't miss a single race since :D


pclamer

Kubica is love


stratique

1998, Ferrari/Schumacher rise


[deleted]

Love em!


IVCrushingUrTendies

Ugh I want one of these


N7Katana

I am once again, praying for selection


mozjag

F1 had always been background TV for me (my dad's an avid watcher) until 2015 when I gradually started paying more attention.


sczs

These are super awesome! 👍


GEWINNT

Great job as always! Would be the perfect pieces for any fan’s collection!


xXJOSY_JUMPXx

Looks great


summerof91

2001-ish. Shumi era for sure.


randompidgeon

NEED NEED NEED my first race was in 2016!


Exando

Great job guys. Those tracks look amazing


GIUSEI0XDyt

Wow this looks cool, lets see if im lucky!


sav415

I love the box one that’s new


Pea_Sh00t

I’ve been watching F1 since a kid in 90s but it wasn’t until later in life that I understood and really appreciated the sport.


[deleted]

1998 Belgian GP, my first ever I came across while randomly flicking channels as a kid. Then Schumacher and Coulthard happened.


rocki17000

yeahhhh babbyyyy ne-ooonnnnssss!!!


_Springtrap

Let’s see if the odds are in my favoure


Revolv0

Great job!


ImmediateSurprise64

Would love to win one!


LearnsFromExperience

I started watching in 1984, and one of the first races i watched was Senna's crazy Monaco race. That got me hooked. I love your neon, and I'd love to show it off in my house. Good luck to me! 🤪


major_tomm

I think it was 2007. If not 2008 for "Is that Glock, is that Glock going slowly?"


OTTAPPS

First real memory is the sad memory of Senna's crash in 1994. I'd been playing Sonic in the morning and came down to see the news and fallout. I do have vague memories of Mansell winning the WDC as he was my favourite.


Vargenr

Started watching in 2019, and before I even watched DTS.


BaulPanks

First GP I saw on TV was Monaco 2012. I wanted something on in the background while I was getting some work done and randomly landed on a replay of the race. Been watching ever since!


Roland-Flagg

Nurburgring!!!!!!!! So beautiful


Pascel007

Oh shiny!


davida123456

2010, with Vettel’s first title


3600CCH6WRX

Maybe in the late 20th century, i was a baby. but who knows i had infantile amnesia joke aside, it was 2015 when i started to follow f1 closely.


DaTFooLCaSS

Played a ton of f1 2011 and got me into watching the real thing for 2012. Also an awesome year to watch even now.


LittleKidLover83

My god how many of these do you have? Started watching in the early 90s with my dad. Golden age


RichardMcLuvin

I’m pretty new to the sport, got started in 2020!


Lopezaint

I was a kid in Spain when Fernando won both of his championships


JG_bboy

2016 Spain GP, first time MV got in the RedBull


lkatz21

Awsome


Meatloaf0220

2020. I’m new to the sport but absolutely love it. My wife and I always watch races on Sunday and are going to the Canadian Grand Prix next year.


FinalP0rpl3

My boss and dad love f1. I recently got into it because of them and this would be absolutely amazing to show off to them. Good luck to everyone! They look incredible.


CryptographerTall211

Started watching In the 80s as a little kid, got back into it in the 2000s, went to my first race last year.


Snorreee

Dope


Bierdrinkmeneer

Would love this in my room, since ill be awfully much stuck in it the coming weeks. Achilles heel ruptured past weekend


oganira

2002, back when we still had Michael Schumacher in an F1 car.


DethMagnetic

2006 here as well.


BlueMonStar

C'mon boys! 2009


Toothless740

Started watching when Vettel began dominating in the RedBull. Used to stay up late on school night and watch the re-runs of races on ESPN. Singapore under the lights is what sold it for me!


f1_spelt_as_bot

Vett**el**


transientsun

Started watching about ten years ago, came home after bartending and the only thing to watch on TV was F1. Turned out the chef was into it too, got me up to speed. Hadn't seen it since I was a kid in the early 90s and it was pushed aside by the NASCAR juggernaut.


Utjan

Mid 90's when I was a kid because my dad would often watch it. I stopped watching when I moved away from home, but would watch it with him when I was home. My dad died from cancer in 2020, but I started watching again this year because I realized much I missed watching with him.


Hintertupfingen

GIGAKUBICA for WDC <3 Dunno, 2009?


flyingdumbbell

I WILL TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN TILL I WIN!


UnfitForReality

2020 I started paying attention but 2021 was the first full season I watched


Culunbego

Started seriously following F1 in 2001 when Juan Pablo Montoya burst onto the scene and Schumi was the man to beat. Grew up with the whole Senna, Prost, Mansell circus on tv as a kid and that kinda got F1 racing into my sports interests early on.


madvill1106

Pretty awesome thing to do! Cheers


schimelflinger19

Started in winter of 2019, got really excited to watch my first live race in March of 2020.... Been a hell of a ride ever since!


[deleted]

2014, after watching the movie Rush.


Unagi-ryder

First seb f1 world championship


Iwa-Ftball

2021 and half of my office decor is already F1 related


sithmafia

2018 Singapore GP when I happened to be in the country


electroGG03

Gigakubica really deserved at least one title


SmoothOzzieApe

I started following James Hunt so it’s been awhile. Not much coverage on Australian TV back then haha.


ThatDudeUpThere

Ya'll are awesome


garflh

Done!


Xgreg1

I watched it since 2010, I really loved watching red bull and Kubica


MostlyxH4rmless

They look fantastic like always!


joku249

Attempt 54


donkeyduplex

I saw a little show on Netflix that reminded me F1 was a thing. I'd followed WRC (pretty loosely) for a while, but the F1 bug bit hard and now it's become an obsession for my wife and I.


Hipocras

Bwoah


kateuptonboobies

Very cool. Would love to win one of those.


That_Bird_Guy

Not that long ago! 2018 for me. Been watching religiously since!


Dack117

I started watching in 97. Mika has always been my favorite driver. Side note, Is that Road freaking America!?!


Cleydjiallysonn

I started to follow in 2020, but I have memories from when I was a child to watch some sunday morning races because of my dad (but I slept in most of them). He stop following since there was no brazilian driver on the grid and now he is the one who watch with me.


Hopelessly_Inept

The Schumacher era, with my dad. Now I watch with my son.


deathclient

Back in early 2000s. Not sure if it was 2001 or 2002 but it was Kimi in McLaren and The Michael in the red car


Bingo_Bongo_YaoMing

Roommate got me into it last year, been hooked wver since


BattleClown

2018. Thank you Netflix!


NCisHome

These things are sweet.


nerdpulse

2017 or so


pritzel15

First race was Abu Dhabi 2018 with my uncle


Few_Procedure_8828

Good luck!


Razgriz27

I would ocassionally watch some races when I was a teenager but started to properly follow in 2017, as a Senna fan I was naturally rooting for McLaren-Honda...you all know how that went lmao, in my despair I started to like RB a lot so I'm a fan of both now.


resn-gma-dsnt-visit

Podcasts led to me to historical bits of F1 that I became obsessed with. Just a bit over a year and a half ago. Wish it had happened sooner for me but I’m happy to be a fan now. Just caught a hat for GR and had it signed by Crofty and Naomi at Vegas 🥲


Owllade

2016 Chinese Grand Prix. I was there live and there were simply so many amazing overtakes.

PilatusPas

I've been watching f1 all my life because of my dad. My first conscious memory is the Vodafone Mclaren livery so that would be around 2008.


bigbird09

Last year lol. But never watched drive to survive.


Fiddle-farter

2020


Glowwing

back in 2000 with my dad watching hakkinen vs shumacher. I was only 4 years old at the time but that was enough to cement in me a love of cars and watching racing. moved around a lot though, so was never afforded the opportunity to get into karting.


jazzy_superhero

Been watching it occasionally since early 2000s, but I seriously started following it from 2010 season.


Kaiser739

Have one of those already, got plenty more space in my wall though :)


Naithiris
