This evening I came home to read about the tragic news of the death of Henry Surtees in yesterday’s second Formula Two race at Brands Hatch. Yesterday afternoon I opted to watch the German MotoGP, where spectators were treated to an excellent motor race. Once that was over, I logged onto the internet. It was […]

A novel take on online racing games
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post To publicise the new Golf GTI which will be launched in the UK later this month, Volkswagen have produced a fun game, GTI Project. It’s not your normal Micro Machines-style Flash game. Set in the Volkswagen engineers’ work room, it is your job to negotiate a 1:43 slot car […]
GP3 due for a 2010 start — but will it support F1?
Well, it is a big day for series announcements. First it was announced that two International Formula Master events will be Formula 1 support races in 2009 — at Turkey and Belgium. The rest of the races will support the FIA World Touring Car Championship as before. I originally thought this had put the lid […]
Fresh madness from Formula Two
It isn’t just Formula 1 that is struggling to come up with any rules that are vaguely sane. More details about the Del Boy FIA Formula Two scheme have emerged today. And I have to conclude that everyone in charge of motor sport is absolutely stark raving bonkers. After the bullshit history lesson (the Del […]
Final thoughts on the GP2 season
Another thing I haven’t got round to writing about yet is the climax of the GP2 season which happened in Monza. As it was, Giorgio “Pants” Pantano took the championship with a sprint race to spare. He had a commanding lead in the championship for a long time running up to Monza, so that was […]
Are there now too many feeder series?
I will turn my attention to the Italian and Belgian Grands Prix later this week. But over the past couple of days a lot more information has come out on the new Formula Two series. It has got me thinking. I was one of many who was really sceptical about the Formula Two idea when […]
Liveblog: Italian GP2 Sprint Race
It’s an early start for a Sunday, but for the final race of the GP2 season it’s worth it. The liveblog will start at approximately 0915 UK time (apologies if it’s late!!) with the race due to start at 0930.
Liveblog: Italian GP2 Feature Race
As you may already have seen, for one race only I am experimenting with liveblogging the GP2 action in addition to the F1 action. Keith from F1 Fanatic and Maximum Motorsport has kindly agreed to help me out with moderation duties as I’m going to be a very busy chap. Monza is the last meeting […]
Liveblogging the GP2 action in Monza
There might still be five races to go in the Formula 1 World Championship. But the Italian Grand Prix is the last European race of the season. That means that this weekend sees the climax of the GP2 Series for 2008. This has been the first year I have watched GP2 races in full and […]
We need to put the sport back into motor sport
I think yesterday was the darkest day for Formula 1 since the Indygate fiasco of 2005. We are used to the FIArrari stewards making ridiculous decisions, but even I was surprised that they did what they did yesterday. For several hours I was extremely angry. I still am angry in fact. But for the first […]
