Had nfi if it wasn't for you. Has any flog backed up from Le Mans? It's that kind of event, where you can. Can you imagine doing that?

Just your usual, run-of-the-mill motorsport incident...
Normally, I hold my emotions inside while on the computer. I actually said "Oh ****" out loud at that.
How about this for a morbid, possibly insensitive, omen. 20 years ago, a less than great Brazilian team won the World Cup, dedicating it to a great Brazilian racing driver. 20 years later, a less than great German team...
Good point you make

I hope he is on the mend very soon
Oh man. I'm absolutely devastated. I thought it was stable condition?

I've been trying to find an article or link. How do you know? I feel like s**t.
RIP
Sad if it's true. RIP.
Shannon's Nationals website hasn't posted any thing, neither has speedcafe so I'd say that is good news.
I hate it when pricks say those sorts of thing, complete campaigners.
Not aimed at you NSWCROW, aimed at the guy who you got it from.

The Suzuka 8 Hours is on this weekend. Australia is well represented with Broc Parkes and Josh Brookes racing for the factory Monster Yamaha team (with Nakasuga) and Josh Waters again with Yoshimura Suzuki alongside Randy De Puniet and Tsuda. Both are an excellent chance to win. Other Australians racing include Wayne Maxwell, Rick Olson, Jamie Stauffer, Troy Herfoss, Josh Hook, Damien Cudlin and Gareth Jones. Also notable riders include Johnny Rea, Leon Haslam, Michael Van Der Mark, Dominique Aegerter, Akira Yanagawa, Noriyuki Haga and the legend tha is Kevin Schwantz.
Also, 18 year old Meghan Rutledge from Picton in NSW is aiming to become Australia's first Women's World MX champ at the final round in the Czech Republic this weekend. She's currently second in the standings, a measly 4 points from the lead. Go Meghan!

There's a new racing series starting this weekend called the Formula E Championship
http://www.fiaformulae.com/en.aspx
It seems to be all street races [10 events from Sept 2014 to June 2015].
Seems like another version of the A-1 League from 10 or so years ago.
Lot's of familiar drivers if you follow F1 or Indycar over the years.
The opening race in Beijing is live on Fox Sports 1 this Saturday at 6pm.

Today would've been Barry Sheene's 64th birthday. It's been 11 years since he died! Time flies!
Does anybody know/care the Australian WRC round is on tomorrow?

Not as much as I should
I've been weaned off it by years of being unable to follow races apart from the midday recaps, where a whole event is packed into a half hour.
I do wish it was shown live and in full on FTA TV (and if it is, please tell me where!!!), it's still one of the most spectacular motorsports I can think of.
C/Harbour this weekend or am I thinking of something else
