Kubica for World Champion??

Being a true Brit of course I want Hamilton to win this years’ World Crown but wouldn’t it be ironic if his peer and childhood racing friend Kubica got it first!

I say this because this is the current table;-

1. Lewis Hamilton - McLaren Mercedes - 38
2. Kimi Raikkonen - Ferrari - 35
3. Felipe Massa - Ferrari - 34
4. Robert Kubica - BMW Sauber -32
5. Nick Heidfeld - BMW Sauber - 20

Kubica is only 6 points behind Lewis and we all know how quickly things can turn around. Who would have thought that Lewis would now be 3 points ahead of Raikkonen??

“Could Kubica be the first ever F1 World Champion without ever winning a race???”

With the likes of Raikkonen and Massa taking points off each other, and currently Kubica being very consistently in the points. Could this really happen? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Just also wanted to remind you all off Kubica’s amazing crash last year at Canadian. A few pictures to remember.

Soggy, or what?

As forecast the B`more SIX hour was wet, there were RIVERS of water running down the track!!, DEEP puddles on the major corners, we are talking WET here, Cap did the first sighting laps in quallie, followed by SPEEDICHICK, both hit the puddle, SPLODOUSH!! anything outside the condom was laundry...we were in the last 2 stints...4hours away...spish,ssplosh, Spit, two fists, and the condom, fared no better, it was bouncing down, with a strong wind to boot!!!
Spit did the first stint, and within 6 laps the brake spring was BUST, (the kart to have today was a thunderkart, suited the conditions) and we had another kart, we quallied 2nd in class, and dropped back, SPIT was heroic, and pulled us back into contention, the conditions suiting his driving...CONDOM had a couple of spins, in these conditions, it was inevitable, a black flag was shown for a mystery infringement, but others were in the same boat(on the same lake too!!)TWOFISTS had a bad stomach, but charged into the fray....ANOTHER brake spring bust, ANOTHER kart, more time lost.....The CAP was determined just to stay on track..the conditions had improved from monsoon to skidpan..two spins, and a WARNING..But little time lost, and we were in the top 5 in class, 10th overall...SPEEDICHICK was so fired up by now that she forgot to adjust the pedals...but she still drove like a ponytail on fire, so much so that despite developing cramp(wuss) we ended the race 2nd in class on the same lap as the winner, and 8th overall...without the breakdowns, it would have been a WIN, and probably higher overall....WELLDONEGUYS!!! Buckmore, WE`LL be back!!
Yea Baby!

More silver wear for Slick Egos

Venue - Buckmore Park

Date - 26th May 2008

Race - 6hr Team Endurance

Weather - V.V.Wet (Under statement!!)

Teams - 21

Classes - 1 x Pro's (Our team), 1 x Thunder

Slick Ego's Team - Steve, John, Pat, Scott, Amanda

Qual - 12th Overall - 2nd in class

Result - 8th Overall - 2nd in class

Good results team Slick ego's. Unfortunately a few technical problems prevailed first position but that is Endurance racing. Most important thing was keeping it on the black stuff and gaining no self inflicting damage. Which we achieved. Just a pity that that Bucks cant sort out a few problems with karts. We'll get the top step next time.

Bring the next challenge on.

Uber FUN

How on earth did they manage that! No 45 Flying Lizard Porsche got a 1:47:135 and then the 62 Risi Ferrari gets the exact same time at the end of the session!!

Singapore F1

These are Exclusive pictures of the new F1 pit, and paddock facilities in Singapore for the 'Monaco of the Orient' taken from a spy taxi, which, was my duty, at great personal discomfort, and expense, to seek out this`secret location, and bring them to our much sought after, Slickegos blog!!
I retire now to read my back copies of Ferrari weekly, having worn myself out, sculking around the orient, incognito in my string vest...Yea Baby!

Crash Bang Wallop! ( x8 if your Ortelli )

4 Major Crashes in ONE day!

F1 = Kovy's 140+mph off at turn 9, Barcelona GP, into 5+ sets of tyres. 7/10


LMS = Jamie Campbell Walter big off in Quali for Monza 6hr. Car withdrawn as a result. Minor injurys.

LMS = Dindo Capello knocked nearly 2 corners off the car passing backmarkers. Fell to 43rd but after 25mins the car was out and finnished 5th!! Amazing work by Audi.

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!

?? 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!
