jimmy boo Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Just watched recording from couple of weeks ago of Goodwood revival presented by Indycar legend Dario Franchitti. Amazing to see veteran and current BTCC drivers giving their all in classic cars worth millions of pounds each with manual gears and the back ends stepping out at every corner........great stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Audi pulling out of WEC and Le Mans. Huge blow for the series but they've achieved pretty much everything there is to do there - many times over. Slightly surprised they are now putting their focus on Formula E rather than looking at a move to F1, but I suppose the manufacturers want to focus on electric stuff. Given how well they did when they switched to diesel and then the hybrids they could be quite handy once they get up to speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeek Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I do wonder if they were looking at F1 last year as was reported, but got cold feet after watching Honda. the FE part is interesting, I think next year is the first year that teams / manufacturers can develop their own powertrain, I believe right now it's a standard power train throughout the grid. This should see the series move forward, teams like Jaguar, Audi and Renault won't want to be in that series to make up the numbers. Am I allowed to say I quite like watching FE 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 So umm, apparently tonight's NASCAR pickup truck race (AMERICA!!!) was a crash fest. Only going by my twitter feed mind you but Kaz Grala won and pretty much everyone else crashed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green flag flies and half the field hit each other and/or the wall.We'll get a proper race tonight in the Xfinity series then of course the main event tomorrow. I've only been the once but it was the experience of a lifetime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see last nights Xfinity race? Cautions galore, and add in what happened in the Truck race on Friday, we may be in for a long one tonight. As for the new rule changes, they didn't really make any difference to the race last night but then there was no real long period of green racing which it could have affected so hard to tell (although WTF are NASCAR smoking in introducing those rules) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw some big wrecks on Nascar.com.I wish they would stop changing the rules every season in an attempt to bring back the missing fans and viewers. Even the chase system does my head in.Anyway....boogity boogity boogity....let's go racin. ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 If any of you lot have a spare hour at some point I'd highly recommend this http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08jqfqx/crash-and-burn An absolutely fascinating watch; I don't even know what to think about Tommy after it. His lifestyle was clearly an issue, but top level motorsport is so elitist he did incredibly well to get as far as he did. Genuinely one of the best motorsport documentaries I think I've seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Quick shout out to my compatriot James Hinchcliffe for winning yesterday's Indycar Grand Prix of Long Beach. It's "Hinch's" fifth career win and the first since his devastating practice crash for the 2015 Indianapolis 500 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a great watch, tremendous talent and yet such a waste. There's a book out called Crashed and Byrned: The Greatest Racing Driver You Never Saw. There's also this on the Autosport forum http://forums.autosport.com/topic/74857-tommy-byrne-tnfer-award-winning-author/ Found this as well Edited April 11, 2017 by CityDave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) There another motorsport themed program on the BBC next Wednesday, broadcast in Northern Ireland but can be viewed via the BBC iPlayer no doubt. Called "Road Riders" it follows the Irish Road Racing scene, should be a decent watch. Trailer - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04zvr2y Edited April 12, 2017 by Mackie The Staggie wrong link 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
