jaggyness Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 They really need to look at a way to change the run off's at Eau Rouge and Raidillon. Far too many instances of cars pilling into each other at the moment. I've never been but is there not a sheer face just behind there which prevents the expansion of the run off area? Although why it isn't a gravel trap is a legit question 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they look at the sandpaper type stuff at Paul Ricard? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Callum Illott only good enough to finish 11th in his qualy group in Indy car do will start around 20th after various engine penalties have been factored in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 No great surprise to see Nascar f**k up again with off limit 'sausage kerbs' to keep the idiot drivers in the Xfinity series within the racetrack at Charlotte 'roval'. Just like at Indianapolis the halfwits are destroying they're cars so Nascar throw a red flag and spend ages with hammers and blow torches to remove the off track limits. The drivers manage fine on road courses Sonama and Watkins Glen but just get these rovals to f**k and race on the proper ovals. As much as i've loved Nascar for decades they really are fucking amatuers!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I see Kelvin van der Linde acted like a complete c**t today. Shame Lawson didn't win the title because he definitely deserved it, but glad van der Linde didn't win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The look on old Spud's face was epic. Feel a little bit for O' Hallaran. According to my (slightly dodgy) arithmatic, he would have won it without the 'showdown'. I know it has its critics but I don't mind it. Same for everyone at the start of the season. The racing this year has been intense. Already I can't wait for next year. Now a five week wait for the last WSB round. Bloody hell!!! Come on Toprak!!! Still, we have Moto GP in the meantime, it's not all bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I'll admit that the racing in WSB shades MotoGP, for me it's the absolute pinnacle of the sport. I'll always favour it. And whilst I'm here, the Thundersport GB 500 Elite series has been stunning this year. Great to watch at every round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Was great to see Tarran win, and if you've not seen Taylor's latest video about his decision to retire at 28, I highly recommend it. Not sure about anyone else, but Moto 3 has equally entertained and scared me this season. I love the close nature of the racing, but they really need to look at getting some separation between the bikes, pack racing is not a great thing, and we've had too many deaths of young riders already this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackie The Staggie Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 So Jack of all trades Jacques Vileneuve is attempting to qualify for the Daytona 500 https://www.autosport.com/nascar/news/jacques-villeneuve-set-for-nascar-daytona-500-entry/7223174/ I know he's a polarizing character, but I've always thought Jacques is/was one of the best all-rounded drivers, he can race mostly anything to a pretty high level, would be interesting to see how he gets on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Helmet cam is magic. Leclerc's one at Abu Dhabi was tremendous viewing, although I reckon I'd be sick if I had to watch it for the whole race. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
