Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I must say how much I enjoyed the WEC race in Qatar last weekend. I’ve always loved endurance racing, but I think it’s just entered a golden era the likes of which we’ve not seen since the glory days of Group C. Speaking of which, over on dukevideo.com they have a couple of new t-shirts I like the look of: Silk Cut Jaguar and Rothmans Porsche. They’re on my birthday gift list. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to COTA tonight on Viaplay, my driver Alex Bowman finished 3rd last year and 2nd the year before. Will be interesting to see how the Australian Shane Van Gisbergan gets on as he won Chicago last season at his first race! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was exactly my reaction to this news. Another sport to be ruined by billionaires who apparently still don't have enough money. I have followed 500GP/MotoGP for over 30 years and it is probably better now than it has ever been (the last years of the two-strokes, well the bikes were truly evil and the riders were gladiators to manhandle them, but most of the races were quite dull). No doubt we can look forward to contrived race results, new circuits with lots of 90deg corners in wealthy countries with no history of motorsport and lots more celebrities (with zero knowledge of motorcycles/bike racing but something to promote) parading in front of the cameras in the pit lane, asking how the bikes don't fall over. <Head in hands> 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I heard on the ITV4 highlights that there was a record crowd at Jerez. When you consider they used to get 300,000 in the late 1990s (locking more people out than attended the 500GP at Donington Park)....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatB Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Well, it ain't Dakar, WRC, NASCAR, WSB or MotoGP, but it's motorsport in 2024, so I reckon it's got a place here (and might interest a few folks who haven't come across the genre). https://youtu.be/04k9_lB0oK0?feature=shared Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
