I've been enjoying watching the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge series of late. It's good, close sports car racing. You may enjoy it as well! The Trans Am revival is also pretty fun, though it's much lower level
Got bumped by his brother, walked(or more accurately, was carried away) with four broken ribs and a punctured lung for his trouble. Christmas is going to be a bit awkward this year.
The Indycar season starts this weekend at the now traditional track, the streets of St. Petersburg. Those of you in the US can watch the race on your local ABC affiliate, and they've been good about posting the races officially a few days later on their Youtube account. There are also going to be live streams on their Youtube for the practice and I believe qualifying sessions. I was really enthusiastic about Indycar until Justin Wilson's tragic death at Pocono last year, the racing has been amazing, but I hope everyone stays safe this season. I can't wait to see them in person at the first ever Grand Prix of Boston.
I also found out that Formula E is livestreaming and posting its entire day sessions to Youtube. Here's what we have so far for the new season. EDIT: I tried to set the videos to the beginning of the races, but it doesn't seem to work as embeds. I'm editing them to be links, hopefully that will work
One great thing about Formula E is that it's a one day event. Finish building the track in the morning, start taking it down in the evening. So yeah, 8 hours of YouTube captures the whole thing.
The best thing about living in our modern era as a racing fan is that I can give you legitimate Youtube links to watch all of the major racing events of the year so far. Bernie, get on this! Give us a commentary free version of the world feed if nothing else!
24 Hours of Dubai
24 Hours of Daytona
the Daytona 500
and the Formula E races mentioned above. I'll be able to share the Indycar race and the upcoming 12 Hours Of Sebring as well. Formula 1 is lagging behind even NASCAR.
Of course the track is a lot smaller than when the F1 race was held there a few months ago, but Formula E seems to work great on a real track rather than a street course. The wide straights leave plenty of room for overtaking, something that is sometimes missing from street courses. Also these cars don't look particularly slow. Slower than F1, of course, but most things feel slow compared to F1.

I think they usually max out at 120mph or so, but that's fine on the narrow city streets they usually run. Racing is supposed to push car development forward.
He should be mad at the driver in front, who clearly cut across and braked ahead of him. Moving is fine, braking is fine, but both at the same time is obviously what caused this.

Comedy or horror?
