Re: Motorsport fans?

Valencia's a weird one. It's a "Mickey Mouse" track. If you know of Oschersleben, it's sort of like that. Lots of turns packed into a tight area. It's a better MotoGP circuit than anything else.

Re: Motorsport fans?

And yeah, I'm a motorsports fan. Did anyone catch the Isle of Man TT 2009 on Discovery's HD Theater channel? Phenomenal stuff.

Here's an onboard lap. It looks like it's being played in fast-forward, but that's how fast those superbike riders are pushing. The track is... I can't recall. 37 miles long or somesuch, basically a big circuit around the interior of the island. These guys run like that for two hours, broken up with two pitstops, but pretty much balls-out tension the entire time. Crazy riders, man.

They must have pains after a while.

I have seen that before, and it never gets less awsome to watch. Truly some of the best riding/riders out there! Wow!

Ghost wait no longer.....

This was Schuey testing TODAY in an F2007.... Judging by his speed...the boy still has it!

My prediction for Valencia... Top 5 qualifying for Schumi and possible podium....
