It was Honda. Which is now Mercedes.
That’s a straight-line, four-wheel drift with a fucking plane.
I think TCR will quickly overgrow WTCC, rendering it useless. Not the least because there are strong national leagues and it’s much cheaper. I’m so not interested in WTCC that I just don’t bother following it, eventhough my fellow countryman - Michelisz - is racing in it.
Hear-hear: the next-gen, drop-top Lada.
IT’S SPINNIN’ N***A, THEY’RE SPINNIN’!
From what I read, this is what NASCAR is doing at the moment: removing seats quietly, so they can wind up the prices a bit and it looks better on TV.
Once the long-time feud between the parties was settled.
It’s mostly down to the format. In rallying, every stage is competition and they are spread-out on a relatively large area. Moreover, if you want to make sure your favourite driver is still going around, you’d better be there on the first days.
It’s not good on TV. The number of spectators usually exceed the attendance figures of most race weekends, though. After all a rally is free to watch - except when you’re in Britain or at a spectator stage in e.g. a stadium. I mean I took the long trip to the Monte Carlo rally this year to see these guys racing…
The right hand as rally drivers do.
Quote from Max Mosley’s book:
Remember Monaco? When he finished first he at least tried to show sympathy towards Lewis concerning the end-result while Lewis almost got out of his car in front of the tunnel and walked home.
The most marvellous point of the race was that all Nico-haters started supporting him in the final few laps.
I know it’s heresy what I’m about to say, but when I go back and watch old races, I can barely make it through with Murray Walker’s commentary. I don’t know what it is about him, maybe it’s the tone of his voice, but I feel annoyed by his seemingly constant over-excitement.
The best bit was Carlos Sainz, Sr. and Jos Verstappen sitting in their sons’ car with a race suit and helmet on. Shocking throwback to the 90s.
I was super-duper lucky to party with some F1 people and celebrities in Monaco, but nothing really beats an overnight camping party.
I just found this typo so on-topic and appropriate that I had to point it out.
“ It’s the roll of the century.”
Looks like a scene at the Serbian-Hungarian border.
