F1 blah blah

I watched MotoGP the Spanish GP yesterday. Marc Marquez was fearless.

He goes off track, have no idea how he stayed on.


Comes all the way back to 2nd place and high sides. Bad crash.


Unfortunately Marc fractured his right humerous.


I bet he didn't find that humorous.

Come on! You had to know somebody was going to do it.

I just love the English language.

if you have 20 minutes....definitely worth a watch...Clarkson, Audi, Lancia, millionaire playboys, trials, tribulations, trickery, and victory.

 
I think Rally drivers are the best in the world. Isle of Man is an awesome race on so many levels. Baja is crazy because the locals like to move the race signs, dig boobytrap ditches and you have the potential of getting stopped by local police and ticketed...or worse. The high dollar teams have chase helos just for those reasons. Good times at the SCORE races.
 
Always had a love/ hate thing with F1. Too many rules. Rally is great, too bad it is t covered widely any more.

My favorite is Group C though. Pretty cars, big power, big speed.

honestly, F1 should have some basic rules about safety and procedure.....and thats it.

F1 should be the pinnacle of motorsports innovation and technology.....i want turn on the Tv and see rocket thrusters and laser spark plugs and turbine fans sucking the cars to the pavement.....i dont wanna see 20 identical cars driving around like posh nascar.

the last interesting F1 car was the Tyrrell P34......but alas that was squashed due to....you guessed it....more rules.

a bit before my time, but it looks like Ronnie peterson, pat depailler, and jody Scheckter were all drivers of the 6 wheeler.

Jackie stewart drove for Elf/ Tyrrell.....but i dont think he drove the p34....looks like he stopped racing a few years before the p34 was released.
