All types of series are revving up for what is again going to be a year of world wide conflict. From the likes of F1 to Moto GP and down to the lonely club racing, rivalries will be united once more!!! Mwahahahaha ( like the madness dont you )
Its true though and being the master of duels, i shall explain some of the years biggest clashes to be:
Audi v Peugeot at THE 24 Hours
Audi v Porsche if Audi decide to race in ALMS this year
Audi v Peugeot in the LMS
Porsche v Lola in the LMS
Lola v everyone as usual
Mclaren v Ferrari, but hopefully Ferrari will keep on the track this year ( or not )
Citroen v Ford in the WRC
Mercedes v Audi in the DTM
Seat v Vauxhall v Honda v MG ... Basically the usual BTCC
BMW v Seat in WTCC
Aston Martin v Corvette with a little Saleen intervention in the Le mans 24
Porsche v Ferrari in the Le Mans 24

Let the Season commence......
Today, the motor racing season gets well under way, with the first round of the World Superbike season,@ The Losail circuit in Qatar, no British riders this season, but the enigmatic Max Biaggi, a legend to some, is one to watch, and my personal favourite, the `dogs borrocks' himself, Noriyuki Haga, he is my tip for the championship..............Yea Baby!!

Moto Gp...Oz...Silverstone....
This weekend see`s the last of the official tests@jerez prior to the season opener at Losail, this test has a twist tho`, for 40 minutes the racers have a mini timed session, and the fastest guy gets a top of the range BMW......nice.......Eurosport will be running it...
The Oz Gp has an issue regarding funding... not that they have`nt any, but that the venture(read vulture) capitalist group, who co-own F1, have a mouth-wateringly, HUGE, debt to pay to the Royal bank of Scotland, this ,in turn, translates to asking for more money from the organisers of Gp`s, and as the taxpayers in Oz will tell you, `it`s not cheap mate!' AND said vultures want it to be a night race so the wusses in Europe can have a lie-in, cue the greens....
This kind of upsets the guys at Silverstone... they have just got planning permission to develop the circuit even further...... upgrade the pits..... spend oodles of money with the local builder( I just re-located) because the vultures want ALL the circuits to coughlin up, and threaten to go elsewhere if they don`t!!
So, in the parts of the world where the audience at a Gp is zero,... emissions control is way down on the `things to do, list',... expect to see more government-funded circuits to be built, and audiences frog-marched to their seats, told when to mexican wave..... If they had cut the costs sensibly in F1 years ago, built tunnels at circuits.... instead of wind tunnels...(we don`t need to drive on the tunnel ceiling) stuck to racing with drivers who had no electrickery, then, maybe we would`nt be looking at a balance sheet dictating the future of the sport, and maybe hearts would rule.....

I speak!
It's been a while since i last was in touch but i do try. Big inspection on Thursday so looks like 2 hours sleep again tomorrow, but what the heck.
F1 testing is doin the usual topsy-turvy pre-season thing.
The Le Mans Series is going to be a galactic battlefield with Audi taking on Peugeot, with a couple of Oreca Courages in the mix and a spicy bunch of Lola's. GT1 field a bit disapointing but GT2 makes up for it.
FIA GT gains multiple champions Labre Competition with a brand new saleen and they are guranteed to be a pain in the maseratis arse! ( Good )
ALMS is again a smouldering crater with the Penske Porsche under-dogs taking on the big gun Audi's. Corvette once again will be chasing their own tails in an empty GT1 Category. GT2 will be interesting as the Porsche teams no doubt will have closed on the excellent Ferrari and dont expect the Lizard team to play cleanly with Risi team after last years Sebring climax.
British Motorsport is once again the place to be as the civil war in BTCC, F3, Brit GT and various other club racing. And it WILL take more than severe burns, 3 Vauxhalls and a host of maniacs to stop that man Plato getting his determined hands on the title!!!

No Sex.......
It was quoted in last weeks Autosport by, no less than Bernie himself, that , `while Ron (Dennis) is a great friend of mine, he was six months pregnant, while still claiming to be a virgin' !
That, Ron mate, is definitely worth a court action, you, a virgin, AND a friend? ask for damages around the 100 mil mark, and best have the case heard somewhere neutral, France, or Italy maybe.........

Fools....
It`s a classic..... the spanish passion for motorsport cannot be denied, however, slagging off looie-looie, has to be a little off the scale, when testing!!! If these are fans , I wipe my arse with a brick!! I hope this does`nt continue.... if it does then a 100mil fine is in order... Yea Baby!

Flavio says Renault drivers equal!!
Bring it on - Mardy Pants Pansy Alonso.
"Flavio Briatore has denied that Fernando Alonso has unequivable number one status in the Renault team in 2008, despite saying that he expects rookie Nelsinho Piquet to learn from the double world champion this year."
