Re: The Summer Break Uber Quiz Free-for-All thread

Ok another one. 8) Niki Lauda and Denny Hulme are the only drivers to achieve something in modern F1 (1950 - onwards) that nowdays I frankly consider next to impossible. Can you tell me what it is? Well, looking at Hulme's achievements one thing struck me, in that he has only obtained a single pole...

Re: The Summer Break Uber Quiz Free-for-All thread

It seems we have lost a few posts 8O Anyhow Guia and Laura23 have both guessed part of the riddle...all members of the list are WDC on leap years. But it is also true that some drivers who also won on leap years are not on the list so something is missing. The pattern is pretty obvious so it should...

Re: Official MotoGP thread

Marquez is dominating the top flight series in a way that no one has ever dominated a top flight series. No one in the history of MotoGP, F1 or WRC has ever been so untouchable over a season. I literally think that the only way he could lose right now is if he fell off of the bike. It's crazy and I...

Re: Official MotoGP thread

Why is he going to enter the Moto2 race? I don't think he will even get to 15 wins, something always strikes out of the blue. Having said that Motogp makes F1 seem more of an endurance category with many more random variables. Other a course of a season a driver will get caught out by reliability, ...

Re: Official MotoGP thread

Interesting coincidence: Marc's victory is n°500 for a spanish rider in all categories and n°100 in motoGP/500

Neat numbers :p

And Valentino is the first rider to reach 4000 points.

Re: Tony Stewart kills driver in accident

That is simply unbelievable. The sad part about it is that the management of some of these sporting events seem to encourage this kind of attitude as it's "good" for the show (NASCAR). I won't get into what went through Stewart's head and if he intended to give Ward a scare or not (I simply won't be...

Re: Gaza

Maybe so, but someone needs to step up and act... Rather than the constant 'We condemn everything' that's being thrown about. Sadly the UN can't do anything because any resolution against Israel is immediately and automatically vetoed by USA. The UN is deeply flawed, I understand that giving certai...
