Kimi has a new job.

More likely team principal for Kimi - he does prefer to be out of the bright lights & loves the sport.

Yes, Kimi to oversee and his mate to run the day-to-day.

Would have thought he would have access to the best drug to do the deed without the mess.

Yeesh. That's one way to start your season.

No interest in the 6 hour this year?

Seems to be all BMW. Disappointed Ambrose' entry didn't make it.

Max Fricke bounced back from a poor opening round to win the second round of the Speedway GP championship. He now sits sixth in the title on 22 points, two spots ahead of Jason Doyle with 15 points and Jack Holder sits 13th on 10 points after two rounds.

The wonderful Isle of Man TT is currently on and is as controversial as ever after another three deaths.

This is a really good read on why it's still a relevant event.

WEC also start this week. The top tier Hypercar class has attracted 9 manufacturers with 11 teams and 19 cars. Can anyone believe it? I can't.

In top level sports prototype racing, or the class that represents it, 4 manufacturers with 2 being really s**t, is a big deal. When I stop and think about it, it's one of the most extraordinary developments I've seen as a fan. It's 1990s BTCC level of warfare. Incredible.
