Daniel's Bio

Hi, I am Daniel and my big passion in life is motorsport and thats what I will be writing about mostly on here, particularly Formula 1. I started being interested in Formula 1 in the mid 90s when I use to watch races with my Granddad and ever since my passion has grown more and more for it. I have always supported David Coulthard mainly for the reason that we have the same initials, there have been many other drivers and teams I have liked over the years but I have always been a DC fan.

Recently I have taken interest in other forms of Motorsport and I now love watching moto GP and Touring cars amongst other things. I also work on a motorsports forum where I write arcticles for members to discuss and contribute to their topics. www.wheelnutsforum.co.uk

Outside of motorsport I love football and I support Portsmouth FC but I take keen in interest in all competitions and leagues worldwide, with a French heritage I always support France at any international tournament.

I also love ebaying, going for walks and spending time playing on my games consoles and of course spending time with my family and friends.

Feel free to email me if you wish. danielchalmersdc@hotmail.co.uk but any spam and you will die haha!!

I just wrote an article that addresses the Bleacher Report Writer Ranking System, which has been a sore spot to some and an area of controversy to many of you on this site.

I think that it's an important issue that needs to be addressed within this community. Please give the article a read when you have the chance. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Daniel,

I emailed you yesterday, not sure if you got it. Basically the F1 times is getting its own site: www.f1times.co.uk which will mirror the B/R articles, but also contain much more, i.e. Driver profiles, Bio's, track guides etc...

Your recent article 'Daniel's F1 2009 Track Guide for the First Eight Courses' was fantastic. We'd love for it to feature on the F1 times site under the circuit guide section.

If you'll let us, or want to know more, email me @ ryanwood4@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks.
