PITY ABOUT THE BONNET

congratulations today to Sébastien Loeb for claiming his sixth consecutive World Rally Championship in Wales and to Valentino Rossi who clinched his ninth Motorcycle Grand Prix World Championship in Malaysia. what an age we live in!

NO CHASSIS LIMITATIONS

i didn’t realize this until now but did you know that there are currently two Chinese manufacturers in 125cc Grand Prix motorcycle racing? yeah, i’ll wait for that to sink in a bit.

the two companies in question are Loncin and Haojue who are fourth and sixth, respectively, in the manufacturers championship which includes the likes of Aprilia, Derbi, KTM and Honda.

i never thought i’d live to see the day.

FAREWELL, DONINGTON

what a great weekend for racing :D

TWO MINUTE PENALTY

Sébastien Loeb’s five rally winning streak came to an end today. What a pity.

THE GREEN WAS SLOWING IT DOWN

the theme of today’s MotoGP race at LeMans: anything is possible.

SLOWER NEXT TIME, FISICHELLA

i’m trying to figure out the origin of the term “pit stop” (as in “Michael Schumacher went in for a pit stop”). anyone out there have a clue?
