Straight outta R’hanna!

World Rallycross Championship

Even when e.g. Marshall Pruett goes on air on Radio Le Mans and says complimentary words about IndyCar, it always starts with almost an apology about how it managed to screw up at the last race.

Vee-eight, vee-eight, vee-eight, vee-eight, vee-eight, vee-eight, vee-eight, vee-eight, vee-eight, vee-eight, vee-eight!

Wow, you just reinvented IRL 1997.

ME WANT KOOKEEEE! ME WANT THE KOOKEE NOOOOOW! ARGH-NOM-NOM-NOM-NOM

Alain Prost described the way to drive those early 80s turbo F1 cars: going into corner, full throttle midway through, with a bigger lock on the front wheels than necessary. Then BOOM, four-wheel drift towards the outside of the corner with the front of the car now pointing to the right direction.

Fun fact: it’s hard to believe it now - given the track’s reputation - but the Nürburgring was built with safety in mind as the Eiffel Grand Prix proved to be way too dangerous as held on public roads in the area.

Oh, and here’s a photo dump of my Monaco GP visit: http://gaborvajda.kinja.com/postcards-from…

For further ‘race coverage’, I was at the Monte Carlo rally earlier this year http://gaborvajda.kinja.com/the-hills-are-…

Well, I was at Monaco, there’s the link in the article and I’m very much tempted to go to Monza, but it depends on budget (not much work these past two months) and potentially on something much more exciting than that I have been working on for quite a few months now. It involves the Hungaroring around the same time ;)

Indeed.

Each year, races at the Hungaroring get better for some reason.

Should the contract with the track be extended for another five years - until 2026 -, by 2022 the Hungaroring and the Hungarian Grand Prix will have been part half of all the Formula 1 World Championship seasons.

Any event where you can take your own stuff in (drink, BBQ, whatever) and lasts multiple hours preferably.

I quite like some replicas when you try and make sense of it. Call it the uncanny valley. When you build a Cobra, a Porsche 917 or a Ferrari 250 GTO or something like that, pretty much everybody knows it’s a replica, because you could never afford that sort of car.

As much as I know he insists doing his own stunts. I remember reading that Spielberg visited the set of M:I-2 and was horrified by the rock climbing scene. He actually had to force a clause into Cruise’s contract that would prevent him doing stunts in Minority Report.

Obligatory

Probably both.
