Sated after the fix....

...of this weekends motorsport, World superbikes, British superbikes, MotoGp, and a sprinkling of the F1...Lots of controversy, in all the races, heroes, zeroes, tension, breathtaking incidents(Lorenzo's 'off' anyone) spats between riders/drivers (stoner v rossi, danica and milka, harris, and byrne...) Weather hiccups, sea frets at laguna, damp tracks in europe...proper, cojone shrivelling, RACING!! Yea Baby!

Motorsport...

....and the world economy are inextricably linked, as the economy runs down so does the sponsorship...At one time, that was'nt a problem as the tobacco guys allways had a big market, money, no problem, however, as they are no longer involved, the banking, and insurance, and telecoms have stepped in. At the moment most of the F1 rights are financed by RBS, and looking around motorsport generally, a lot of cars/overalls are carrying RBS logos, Santander, ING who are also very prominent, will probably have to curtail a good deal of their sponsorship to the lower orders, it would make sense to carry on with the blue chip sponsoship,ie. F1, but, RBS are struggling, who knows how many financial institutions are tied in with the American Fanny mae, and Freddy mac situation? who lost 50% of their value(over a £1000,000,000,000,000,s if that is how to write trillion) in ONE day!!!  Motorsport has had a Huge time of it lately, there is a new formula mooted every week, but they all require sponsorship, in one way or another, if the banks, and building societies, are less than willing to lend, this trend will grind to a halt, the amount of spare cash available for god's pastime will go on rising household bills, and other such fripperies such as food, school dinners etc...BUT I HAVE GOOD NEWS....BUCKMORE AUG 25...six hours of GLORIOUS KARTING, in a THUNDERKART......YEA BABY!

Rain, Compulsory!

Fantastic, race at Silverstone, hamster certainly showed the way, Rain definitely makes a race, and Ferrari, actually, were very helpfull. Heidfeld was cooking, with Kubica down the drain...

Donington have a 10 year contract! looking at the plans, we are gonna see a lot of carnage, and rain will make it even more....bring it on...the 2009 rules should help at this track....Never underestimate the moneymen in F1, there is a hidden agenda here, and the mystery backer for Donington may surprise us..Silverstone did'nt seem that far away from their demands...watch this space....

What a GP!!

I think we might have just seen the best GP of the season. Silverstone delivering a great action packed raced and well marked 60 years. I find it a great shame that at a major occassion they can announce that Silverstone will be losing the race in 2010. I find the decision an odd one. Firstly I am glad that we will still have a GB GP! Secondly Donington is my Number 1 circuit. It was the first one I ever went to and the first one being on track. A great circuit layout that never fails to give entertaining races in whatever you are watching............. But they have so much work to do to get it up to modern F1 standard. Count me in for a ticket in 2010.

Almost a year.....

...Has passed since I first started the blog, you can never be sure where things will lead so, looking back through the posts, makes interesting reading.... thanks to you all for sharing your thoughts, comments, and best of all, Rants!! Yea Baby!
