All we get here on in the Northwest corner of the States these days is NBC sports.

Three bloody weeks of endless speculation are at and end tonight starts the 3rd round. Here we go on the 3rd race of the season. Much anticipated by many of us because of the events leading up to it. So!? Will the pits call the race. How will the tyres fare. What about the weather. Have McLaren got ...

Almost through "Flat out, Flat Broke" McCarthy's writing is as frantic as his driving, he just tries too hard. Got to put a funny line in to cap every situation. Some did have me laughing though.

I just like the way you spelt ludicrous. :) Q. which is correct; spelled or spelt? I use which ever sounds 'right' to me, but is there a rule? Anyway, on topic, before you judge motorsports, first you have to define what 'sport' actually means. Both, apparently. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/spelt#...

Im huge Ferrari fan, if they stopped racing, Id stop watching. There would be no point. I watch to see red win. When Alonso crashed out last weekend, I shut it off. No point. I knew Massa would not be able to take Red Bull by himself. Then the race went to fairy cakes with Mercedes and red Bull pul...

I went to Spa in 2011 and was standing at the top of Eau Rouge when Sutil lost it and lost his front wing. There's a tiny hole in the fence and a girl climbed through it and nicked the entire wing and hid it in a couple of dustbin bags. Don't know how far she managed to get with it, but it was funn...

Scouse asked if any else had a story. I was at the Ulster TT in 1955 & saw some of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen. The W196 in drag (300SLR) as scouse calls it with the desmodromic motor opened out to 3000cc won the race driven by Moss & John Fitch who died quite recently. The race was ma...

I'm not sure if it was the same time as the race I saw Moss and Fangio in the F1 Merc. But they raced Mercedes sports cars at Aintree as well.

"Looser" engines are fine for big american muscle cars but when you're turbocharged, reving at 18,000rpm you need to keep them tight.
