Speaking of MotoGP, I'm a huge Valentino Rossi fan, and here's a couple of the all time great finishes he's been involved in..

The Ducati, ridden by Casey Stoner to the 2007 title, had so much more speed in a straight line than the Yamaha at the time. However Rossi still found a way to win and Stoner was very salty after the race.

Rossi vs Lorenzo Catalunya 2009. One of the greatest overtakes of all time to win the race by Rossi. Yamaha at their peak.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIuaS_yL38g


Perhaps the most infamous finish in MotoGP this millenium, the controversial Rossi vs Gibernau finish at Jerez in 2005. The two were major rivals and this finish raised a lot of tensions....

My all time favorite bike riders were King Kenny Roberts and Fast Freddy Spencer

Kenny Roberts and his son are the only father and son to win the GP category, right?

[Biernutz]

Kenny Jr won a 500cc world championship and was the only father son duo to win championships.

Toto Wolff from Mercedes F1 team said that if Louis Hamilton leaves the team at the end of this
year they will go after Fernando Alonso to replace him.

Remember this crash at last year's Daytona 24 hours? I thought Memo Gidley was done for when I was watching this live.

Memo lost his ride after that crash ...He is now driving that Delta Wing car....He won't ever

I remember when Jeff came up and he was a bit wild side. Dale Sr. and him didn't get along at all
to the point Dale said he was going to kick Jeff's ass. Like most young drivers he calmed down
and became the championship driver. I always like Jeff and I am sure his back problems is a large
part of why leaving full time racing after this year. Jeff will probally find his way behind a TV microphone
and he will be good there also. The only NASCAR race track he has not won at is Kentucky Speedway.......

UPDATE: Jeff Gordon's TV career will start this year, as the soon-to-be-former Sprint Cup Series driver will serve as a rotating analyst for FOX Sports' Xfinity Series broadcasts. Gordon will switch off his Xfinity Series (formerly called Nationwide Series) analyst role with defending Cup champion Kevin Harvick and former Cup champ Brad Keselowski. Those are just part of many changes for FOX, which goes into this season splitting TV broadcasting duties with NBC. The news will officially be announced Monday.(USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nascar/2015/01/25/jeff-gordon-to-be-fox-guest-analyst-during-xfinity-season/22318561/))(1-25-2015)

Wasted no time to get onto something else.

[Biernutz]

The first round of the Indycar season March 8 in Brazil has been canceled due to money problems.
It would be nice to have a Indycar race in San Antonio like when they had the IMSA races
dowtown. What happened to that to that sports complex that was to go in around the ATT center?
A Race track was in part of the plans.

[Blizzardwizard]

Anyone else a rallying fan? Specifically Group B in the 80s. Some of the greatest drivers and the most powerful and difficult to drive cars motor racing has ever seen.

That thing looks disgusting.

Thats not the final paint on the car. They put a abstract vinyl wrap on the car in testing so
it make it harder to see what they are doing with their aero package. All the cars have new crash
noises this year......The F1 teams are preseason testing in Jerez this week. Vettel has the fastest
time so far.

This is the new Nissan LMP1 LeMans car. I has a front engine and it from the Panonz shops.
It has tested in Texas. It will probably replace the Delta Wing car.....

NASCAR driver Kurt Bush trial for abuse of his girlfriend is in its final stages. This is a crazy relationship
where he said she told him she was a killer for the CIA. Kurt said she left the house one day wearing
pants and a shirt but came back to the house that evening wearing a dinner dress that had blood
all over it. She has said that he slammed her head 3 times into the wall of his motor home. After that
they broke up and she filed abuse papers on him....This is TV 24 or Blacklist type of story ...just crazy...

Good to see British motorsports expanding to the US, with the BTCC being shown on CBS Sports this year.

[Blizzardwizard]

INDYCAR MEMORIES:

Back when there was the IRL/CART split, I preferred to watch CART as it featured races in Europe. In 2001, CART came to England and raced on my local track, Rockingham Motor Speedway, the only oval track in England. It was amazing that after watching these cars on TV in all the glamourous locations in the USA and around the world, they then came to my little rural area in England.

The 2001 race had one of the greatest finishes in CART history, with Gil De Ferran passing Kenny Brack on the outside of turn 4 on the final lap. It's a shame that IndyCar never came back here after 2002. Maybe one day.

Good day for Hendrick Motorsports, with Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson lining up on the front row at Daytona. Lot's of controversy over the qualifying format, with drivers like Clint Bowyer, Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman giving fiery interviews against NASCAR's decisions.

[Strange Love]

Kurt is done.

Kurt is done.

Damn, my fantasy picks :cry

Logano wins under caution. Ford sweeps Daytona.

[Biernutz]

Fernando Alonso crashed his Honda and ended up with a concussion. It is unknown if he will do any
more testing for a while. The new McLaren/Honda is hand full with new car teething troubles. The Ferrari's
look to be the best in testing so far. It has been suggested that the Mercedes team is sand bagging as to not
show how good they are. First race is March 15.

[Strange Love]

NASCAR is a joke.

Every day they find ways to screw it up even more.

Half the field in today's qualifying failed inspection and about 15 of them didn't even get to set foot on the track.

Gordon, Johnson, Stewart, Kenseth were among the ones who had to relied on last year's points to even get in the race while people like Hornaday made it in on time. LOL

[Biernutz]

I don't like NASCAR's new qualifying order. It works for F! but NASCAR I like old school.

13 cars failed tech inspection at ATL's Race and couldn't qualify for the race. They had to
use things like past race champion or past Cup champ to get in the race. Normally they can use their
exception 5 times a season to get into a race they don't qualify for.

Like the say in NASCAR " if you aren't cheating your not trying hard enough"

[Biernutz]

When Fernando Alonso woke up after his crash in testing,he thought
it was 1995 and he was still racing karts and wanted to be a F1 driver.
It took him a week to recover his memories of the past 20 years. He will sit
out the first race of the year but the team said he is symptom free after
the concussion. If he is symptom free why is he not racing? This is the question
the medical community is asking.

Australian Grand Prix is next weekend March15.

[Blizzardwizard]

Truex Jr going well, 2nd at Las Vegas and three top 10 finishes this season already. Watch out for that #78

Now this is real driving....Rally legend Colin McRae and Nicky Grist in 1997 driving the Subaru Impreza.

All the fans of BBC show Top Gear UK, it has been cancelled for the rest of this year. One of
the host, Jeremy Clarkson punched one of the shows producers because
he didn't arrange to have food at set on of the day of a show shootings. Jeremy was already
in trouble with the BBC before and with only three episodes left for the this year the BBC pulled the plug.
This is my favorite car show but Jeremy is such a jerk as that makes the show entertaining.

Now that was one of the worst races I've seen in over 20 years. 15 cars starting, only 5 finished on the lead lap. Mercedes coasting to the line and not even trying. Awful. F1 is definitely not the pinnacle of motor racing anymore, that accolade goes to rallying and endurance racing.

F1 seems to be in a pattern that one team just dominates everyone else every year...look how Red Bull
won everything for 4 years. Before that Michael Schumacher won everything for years. I stopped watching
the races after his 4th title because you knew who was going to win. Same with Sebastian Vettel when he was
winning race after race. The only thing about Mercedes I like is Hamilton and Rosberg don't like each other and will
put the other in the grass. I am not a big rallying fan but I do follow endurance racing. I look fwd to LeMans each
June and we can now watch the full race live in the U.S. I also listen to the Radio LeMans podcast each week.

But at least in the Schumacher years, there was still close racing up and down the field. There was re-fueling so drivers weren't 'conserving fuel'. Now though drivers like Hamilton aren't even going at full pace and still winning.

[Strange Love]

NASCAR is a joke my niggas.

Kurt got robbed in the daylight. No shame.

[Blizzardwizard]

What a damn race. Straight up battle between the 4 and the 41 all day. Caution flags threw them off though, and the decision to take 4 tyres paid off for Brad Keselowski. Won my fantasy league today too!

[Blizzardwizard]

What a weekend of racing. Martinsville, Malaysia GP, MotoGP, Indycar.

Great win for Vettel and Ferrari, nice to see them back on top!

An amazing MotoGP battle between Ducati and Yamaha, won by the master of motorsport that is Valentino Rossi!

[Biernutz]

Sour grapes at Red Bull F1 team. When they were winning every week for the last
4 years it was o.k. Now that the Renault engine is crap they want to change
all the rules. They want to unfreeze the engine formula and stop all wind tunnel
work during the season. You didn't hear Ferrari crying about their pace last year.
They worked their ass off last winter and they won last week at the Malaysian
Grand Prix.....
Suck it up RED BULL! bunch of cry baby's....

Formula 1 chief Bernie Ecclestone is calling for a return to V8's again but with 1000 HP..I would like this

better than the turbo engine now. I want to hear the throaty roar of 1800 RPM's putting out 1000Hp.
But the best sound of a F1 engine is the V10's. The scream of that engine is what F1 should sound like......

It's that time of year again for the Isle of Man TT motorcycle from England. The race is on a island
off the coast of England. The race is a time trial over 37 miles of public roads. There is different classes
that include side cars. As what has happened almost every year a rider has been killed on the road. A French
rider was killed in a practice crash. A fan was riding the course when he crashed killing him. The races have never
been stopped or cancelled by injures to the riders. The races start on Monday evening on the Velocity Network all week long.
It is very exciting watching these motorcycle racers with the biggest balls on earth ride at full speed

It is really one of the few remaining forms of racing that has remained untouched over the years, however I do wonder how long the race will last going into the future with voices of dissent growing ever louder over safety issues.

A lap round the Isle of Man circuit in 1990 in a Rover Vitesse, with driver Tony Pond's aim to sustain a 100 mph average around the entire circuit. Not two wheels but still immense stuff.

All of a sudden his dot disappeared, and the radio reported him missing, as he didn't come across the line in 2nd like he should have. Turns out he had a large crash with a backmarker. Pretty little information still but seems like he's ok.

We get the days races at 10pm CDT USA and I saw the Dunlop crash. it's good he is just shaken up
a bit with no broken bones..I love the superbikes and you could see how worn and stressed the third place rider
was. You are riding at the limit and the concentration has to be unreal on the road course. Did you see the
picture of the rider just missing the black and white house cat? I will be looking fwd to the sidecars. Watching the
"monkey" hanging on at over 100 mph through the streets....Wow.....

We got the F1 race at 1pm CDT and it looks like only bad luck will stop Louis from getting a back to back. He has the
field covered and in the head of Nico. I would have loved to see Alanso be Louis teammate. I am a long time Williams
supporter all the way back from the Keke-Alan Jones days. I will hate to see Botas go to Ferrari next year but Williams
just doesn't have the money to spend like Merc. and Ferrari do......

fck happen to webber? thought he was pole for lemans, then disappears...

Webbers car came in second one lap back.....*Webbers co driver went thru a accident slow zone which is like a yellow flag zone
only slower...the slow zone has a speed limit and he went too fast and the car had to do a pit drive thru penalty that cost
them a half of lap...Webber also said the car would not have passed for 1st because it just didn't have it.

[Biernutz]

Are F1 cars too easy the drive now. Niki Lauda has echoed Kimi Raikkonen's statement that they
are too easy. With all the technology and the way the tracks don't have enough passing zones does
it seem like it's out of the hands of the drivers now? Larger tires, more power, old school pit boards and refueling
look good to me.

Another Englishman involved in a potential life threatening indycar accident, Justin Wilson was struck on the head by the nose cone of Sage Karam at over 180mph and is in a coma. Wilson is a veteran of the series, and has fought off multiple injuries including a broken back in his indycar career.

Terrible.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuVpLHQkzQY

[Biernutz]

Justin is in a coma and the outlook is grim. They said the nose cone is part of
the crash crush structure and is extremely hard. Tony Stuart offered his private
plane to fly Justin's family to his side at the hospital. Our thoughts and prayers
go out to Justiin.

[Blizzardwizard]

Justin Wilson is dead. I honestly don't know what to say. ANOTHER incredibly talented Englishman, flying the British flag in motorsports across the sea is now gone. Awful.

[Biernutz]

It's a sad day for race fans that another driver lost his life. Our deepest sympathy go's out to Justin's wife and
two girls.

With a Indycar and a F1 driver has died of head trauma will this push forward with closed cockpits covers?
I expect to see some proposal soon. Will the fans accept the cockpits over the open driver position?

[Biernutz]

Scott Dixon won today's IndyCar race today and took the season IndyCar
champship over Juan Montoya. Montoya had held onto 1st place the whole
season till today. Dixon had a perfect day but Juan ran into the back of a
teammates car on a restart and he could not get out of 6th place at the finish.
If he would have finished 5th he would have won the champship.

[Blizzardwizard]

Two massive accidents in Formula Renault at Silverstone today, I was at another circuit nearby and heard about this.

Fernando Alonso said it would be "a good thing" if McLaren kept Jenson Button for the 2016 but if
Honda has another bad year like this one will Fernando be looking for a way out. To say the Honda F1
engine has been a disaster is being generous. The engine is a dog and the way that F1 lets you test
makes it even harder for them to get out of this hole. Honda's last trip to F1 did not end well and
will they stay this time to work this out? McLaren is now worried about losing sponsors because who
want's to pay that kind of money for car that can't get into the top 10. Honda will not poach a engine
mechanic or designer from another team who might help find out why the engine is a dog. Honda wanted
to only use factory personal with no outsiders for the engine system.

Same amount of wins as Senna, difference being Senna actually had other drivers to fight him and had a teammate who wasn't an incompetent idiot. I mean, if that was Senna or Prost or Schumacher or Villenueve (either one) at the first corner with Lewis trying to squeeze him out, both cars would be in the wall because there's no way they'd back down like Rosberg does, who willingly put himself on the grass to avoid 'Sir Lewis'.

Glad to see Rossi win the 500 in a Honda. Gabby was really broke up to finish a half a lap back.
Honda needed to win because it was getting to predictable that a Chevy would win.
Hate to see Louis win Monaco then hang with his buddy Justin Biber before getting the trophy....

they came together 3 times....

Burnie Eccelstones mother in law was kidnapped in Rio. Asking

There was so many people at the F1 race today. As many as the first race.
I wanted Nico to win but he is still in the points lead over Louis. I think there
is 3races left in the season. This coming weekend they will race in Mexico City.

[Biernutz]

Nico is F1 champ :clap:clap:clap....

[Biernutz]

Nico Rosberg retired from racing 4days after winning the formula 1 championship.
He said he accomplished what he set out to do and now he wanted to spend more time
with his young family. The seat at MB is now open and half the F1 drivers want it.

The Daytona 500 was won by Kurt Bush who only led the last lap. There was
plenty of wreckage during the race but the last 5 laps were exciting as one leader
after another ran out of gas.

[Strike]

F1 season starts in two weeks. Hamilton the favorite with Rosburg gone?

[Biernutz]

I think the favorites will be the Ferrari team as they had very good testing. MB could
be sandbagging but Ferrari looks good. I hope that there will be more then the MB teammates
and then rest to race.....

Hell of a start by Bottas to get the lead after turn 1. Other than the 1st lap and the last few when Vettel was only a second or two off the lead, it was a fairly boring race.
