LMS = ( Monza eh ) Stefan Ortelli's Oreca/Courage snapped sideways under braking for turn 1 sending him over the grass, the car then became airborn, flipped around 8 times, missed Mcnish's Audi by mm's, and then finally came to a dismantled wreck off the guard fence! Biggest sportscar crash since the famous "flying" CLK GTR's

Tockwith Terror.....

This person was last seen SHIVERING at the Tockwith Pro-Am outdoor Kart circuit, where a trio of SLICKEGOS arrived to take part in a 2 hour enduro....this is a primitive venue,REMINISCENT of the early days of outdoor karting...a friendly bunch, helpfull..WE had 2 karts as there were plenty of large teams, so fewer karts...We had 15mins QUALI, of which Speedy was greedy.... 1st/2nd on the grid..Speedichick,Speedy started...team 6 had an aggressive driver, whose race strategy was bumpitybump!! he was quick we were quicker...the black flag tally for team 6 became impressive...we had no transponder on kart1..we had to change..3 times..it was clear we had no competitors bar team 6, they had no cool...IT was tricky to work out the stints, thanks to FAGASH for that job....the Cap almost crashed..giggling helplessly as a particularly ambitious move by team 6 gained him another black flag,AND a lost lap in the barrier....we took 1st, and 2nd, and were presented with the worlds tiniest trophies!!

It was fun...Thanks to the guys for travelling so far.....Yea Baby!

i chose...

I have chosen to Leeds this weekend and not go to Silverstone for the first race of the FIA GT Championship. That means i have chosen to go karting with mates rather than go and see 40+ gorgeous world class GT cars such as Aston Martin's, Corvette's and saleens ( etc ), driven by some of the best drivers in the world. So Stallion, get off your ass and go karting!

Speedy

?? Could Lewis??

Could Lewis be one of these amazing racing drivers that never wins a world championship??

Someone would say that Schumacher’s Championship were down to skill yes but a lot was luck being nearly always on his side. Our old rookie Lewis got so close to the championship last year – Was it is best shot in his career?? Time will tell. Does he have the luck to become statistically one of F1 greats? The response was “I have plenty of years to get the crown” (however losing the title of first rookie to win it!) but it was certainly a grand opportunity missed. It does appear that Lewis will have a racing seat for life with McLaren!

As a massive F1 fan (and not a Lewis fan) I am now looking at this season with great promise. It appears that we may at last have a wider championship battle on our hands. And it is at this point that hands have to come together to applaud BMW’s effort. What a great job to date. As a Lewis fan it doesn’t make for better viewing. Another 2 drivers to battle it out with and from the last race it looks like BMW could be now racing Ferrari rather than McLaren L !! Anyone want a Kubica vs Heidfield bet??

P.S Sorry for long silence!!

Karting...MotoGp...DTM....

....tried my hand at karting yesterday...hopeless...had a newbie to PPIK all over me, he was happy...they are getting some new TYRES, soon....pleeeasse!.....On a happier note, the MOTOGP had a fantastic start....Rossi to the front...game on!..Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Dovitioso, they did`nt care that he is a multiple world champ...with little micro showers throughout the race making the racing very exciting, a GOBSMACKIN` move by Lorenzo, in a place thought impossible by others, upset Rossi`s rythm...Lorenzo to the front! STALLION went quiet, Pedrosa to second.....The James had a solid race to 7th, overtaking UBERKIND, Stoner, who had some loose bits on his fairing, Stoner got 6th, after regaining his composure....Everyone was wrapped up, against a cold ESTORIL yesterday something to do with a little lady in the PACIFIC, called LA NINA....

The DTM, on the other hand looked quite Balmy, although it was almost an AUDI clean sweep....again a race that was thrilling initially.....but had a predictable end...GARY PAFFET made some good moves, however, he is in an old car...DI RESTA, on the other hand is in a new car, and BAD pitstop work plunged him from a potential podium...Mercedes will have an AUTOPSY `bout that.... back to PPIK... got a little bit better, in another kart...but,...37lbs per tyre?????..billiard balls, and bruises...Yea Baby!

Estoril....

...the JAMES will receive his new engine for this weeks MOTOGP at Estoril...pneumatic valves are all the rage, apparently.... The form he has shown, so far in this, his rookie season, has been astonishing for a rider who has not SERVED his time in the lower classes of motoGp. This engine is on a par with the factory stuff that ROSSI is using, so will this power boost place TOSELAND on the podiums? Watch this space.......He also came under fire for his robust overtaking...well who woke up the WUSSES?? have`nt they read the signs, all over every circuit, and disclaimer, in the world??.....MOTORSPORT IS FUCKING DANGEROUS!!!!..why the hell would you do it otherwise?
Speaking of wusses, HAMILTON, is a bit worried about sharks, when he goes diving, well Hammy, my boy, STAYOUTOFMYBLOODYOCEAN!!!...And focus on the driving.....`cos the media, are at it again... heroes to ZEROS in two issues of AUTOSPORT, it`s no wonder that Kimi allways looks like he`s swallowed a wasp.......The Bahrain Race was, predictably, dull, the spectators in handfulls, draped over the 100`s of spare seats, Max was absent, probably because he might have ended his tenure with the SAKHIR!!....Yea Baby!

Weekend Mayhem......

.....As you are aware , the weather was slightly inclement in the south of England, forcing the cancellation of the opening round of BRITISH Superbikes, at Brands Hatch,.... As I hear you all shout Nooooooooo! in horror, the day was saved by top action from WORLD Superbikes from sunny Valencia, If you have`nt seen the footage of the end of race one.....THEN you should...It proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there are MEN in Spain...speaking of PANSIES, our Looie appeared to be brake-tested at Sakhir, adding to his interesting weekend, the guy is a saint...allways a good word...well the FUCKING spaniard is an ass!!

The Le mans series showed that, it is`nt all about the manufacturers, which, I personally,think makes it good RACING...I like underdogs, so when the `dogs BORROCKS' won the 2nd race at Valencia, it was so coooool...the guy falls off at 150mph, and they rebuild him, and ...he wins..Hero. World TOURING cars had another play in the SOUTH Americas `Mehico'....it was a `Seat' fest, using diesels, the RWD cars had`nt a chance....Andy PRIAULX got one point in an exciting second race, where 8th place could be considered a victory...especially on a surface which reminded me of PPIK on Sat night!!! I end this monologue by saying..FERRARI you did me proud!! I tipped Massa, and Ferrari for my fantasyF1, which boosted me to the top of my group, and 400something in the overall standings!!(applause!!!)there are no prizes in this fantasy, but hey, I have others.....

Yea Baby!!

Its All Kicking Off...

This weekend we have the much antisipated (??) start of the LMS, which has the new threat of invasion from Peugeot. But dont fear as the germans are here!!, embodied in Audi. This new diesel shootout will surely be a straight 2 horse race for the title, leaving all the other normal fuelled prototypes with the classifaction as "also ran".

As for the GT's, a lot more exciting! Well in GT2 at least. Team Modena with their aston are Autosports favourite to win the GT1 crown leaving Corvette with 2nd, 3rd etc. GT2 Should be compettetive with Porsche determined to regain world domination from Ferrari on both sides of the Atlantic.

LMS - Barcelona, ESP
ALMS - St Petersburg, USA
