Mackie The Staggie Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Oops... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPnjMhXNQ3Y Onboard footage, at 7 seconds in you hear the understated cry of "uh-oh" before the car goes into the lake. Also added bonus of rubber duckie on handbrake lever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 On mobile just now so unable to post a link but Honda's new aero kits for the Indycar series were shown for the first time. It's flat out batshit insane, wings added everywhere they can and I'm pretty sure carbon fibre manufacturers are rejoicing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooCoothenoo Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 I've just set up a Facebook page for the Jim Crawford book. Anyone interested send me a message on there with your email address and I'll keep a copy aside for you when it comes out at the end of the year. Cheers. https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1416047002033202 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Really looking forward to the BTCC season starting next week. Used to watch it religously years ago but fell away from it for a while, started getting back into it from the middle of last season and it always provides some great racing. The fact that ITV show 6 hours worth on race day with all the support races makes it an excellent day on the couch. Planning on going to Knockhill this year as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Shocking crash at the Nurburgring Nordschleife in a VLN Endurance race where a Nissan GTR Nismo driven by British driver Jann Mardenborough flipped and crashed through the safety fence and killed one spectator and injured several others. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/motorsport/32100886 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Shocking crash at the Nurburgring Nordschleife in a VLN Endurance race where a Nissan GTR Nismo driven by British driver Jann Mardenborough flipped and crashed through the safety fence and killed one spectator and injured several others. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/motorsport/32100886 There's a couple of videos on YouTube and it's a nasty looking crash. Jann comes over a crest into a section called the 'Flugplatz', as the car came over the crest the front lifts up and the it flips in a straight line.....a lot like Webber's and Dunbreck's crash in Lemans back in 99. The car clears the fencing and lands in between the main catch fence and another smaller fence. Horrible crash with sadly a tragic outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I do believe the Flugplatz was where Manfred Winklehock flipped his F2 car in 1980 at the top of the crest and ended up in the catch fencing after rolling a few times, but completely unhurt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackie The Staggie Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Indycar season just starting on ESPN....The cars are looking even weirder than usual!! Watched the race last night, the cars look strange but I like the fact that there's a noticeable difference between the Honda's and Chevy's. The race it's self was seriously affected by full course cautions caused by the new aero packages....in fact it got so bad it overran into the Basketball. The race also gave me a rather annoying earworm this morning also 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Kris Meeke becomes the first Brit to win a WRC round since Colin McRae in 2002. Adding to the good cheer is Elfyn Evans taking his first podium in the same event 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooCoothenoo Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Some tragic news. 11 year old stock car driver killed at Lochgelly Raceway; http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/keir-millar-young-motor-racing-5676238 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Horrible set of circumstances...tragic to lose anyone in a sport but such a young age, hard to get the head around. Tomorrow evening will be first set of races from this years North West 200, live coverage of the race can be found on the BBC website (this link takes to the main Bikes section, link to live coverage should be found there), race should be starting around 17:15 I think......the great Irish weather allowing of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CooCoothenoo Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Anyone off to the Isle of Man this year? I can't make it but have sponsored a couple of teams. Mark Saunders/Marc Maier (sidecar) and Colin Stephenson (Supersport/Superbike). Hope everyone has an enjoyable and safe fortnight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will arrive on the Isle on Mad Sunday so missing the first race day but will get the rest of the race week and also the post TT race's in Castletown so fingers crossed the weather is good. Should be a good one this year, I'm planning to do a small preview here but waiting till practice weeks begin to see whose doing what, too many to mention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
