Err no it wont, do you actually watch this stuff lol!

bigdick1977 · 10 Jul 2013, 09:26 (Ref:3276232)

The Grand Prix at Brands Hatch used to be 10 car grids.

chunder · 10 Jul 2013, 21:32 (Ref:3276325)

It did, but with a 500 yard dash to the first bend rather than 50!

Maybe I'm a bit late saying this (forgot it) but a few months ago there was an american interested in the Renault Clio of Stig-Olov Walfridson used last year

The car is finished. Read in the norwegian website Motorposten that Isachsen will race the car at X Games

Great to hear: I just hope for Subarus sake that its quick now.

Interesting to see the speed of the cars at New Hampshire, they didn't look that far off the pace (especially when compared to past form) and Isachsen was fairly fast off the line in his heat, just not in the final!

They've had some problems with the anti-lag but they think that they've fixed it now

Nice to see something other than a Ford!

canamman · 20 Jul 2013, 22:20 (Ref:3279840)

Just saw this racing for the first time on tv.
That was a fairly entertaining bit of racing in Bristol TN.
Probably will go check them out when the show rolls into Atl.

verdier · 21 Jul 2013, 23:45 (Ref:3280288)

I was at Bristol, big improvement from GRC compare to last year, track was great, racing was good and the lites cars are fast and fun to watch. Good show overall.

NaBUru38 · 22 Jul 2013, 17:59 (Ref:3280549)

I only saw the final. The huge bankings look great! But the first corner into the infield was a funnel. They should have put some cones to mandate cars to take the oval and not the flat zone. That would have prevented ridiculous crashes.

I'm really hoping the next round doesn't wipe half the cars out in the first corner. It's not a race if there's only a couple of cars with a chance of winning- it's a duel and that's not as interesting to watch!

It's at Irwindale, there should be the room.

ERC24 just posted this link up on Facebook...

http://xgames.espn.go.com/rally-moto...ycross-rivalry

...and I thought it was worth chucking up on here, as its a subject that was heavily discussed earlier in the thread: the Heikkinen & Doran incident at Munich...

He won the race and whether I think it was fair that he won or not it doesn't really matter now. It's over and done with, so I just have to try and move on and try to make sure I beat everybody at the next race."

You can ask anybody else in this paddock and they'd agree with me. There's no rivalry, there's just no respect. Simple."

Janneman · 30 Jul 2013, 09:21 (Ref:3283703)

Yeah right he is really THE one to talk about respect

The pot and the kettle...

crossfades · 7 Aug 2013, 21:29 (Ref:3287035)

Henning Solberg is set to drive one of the Dodge Darts. Very, very much unexpected. Hopefully he'll do well and show off some proper driving

NaBUru38 · 7 Aug 2013, 23:42 (Ref:3287067)

Replacing Pastrana on a Nascar Nationwide weekend? Sounds quite interesting.

Is there an entry list anywhere for this weekend?

Henning Solberg is replacing Bryce Menzies in the Dodge Dart #99, according to Pastrana's Twitter account. It was already known some time ago that Timur Timerzyanov is replacing Pastrana in Atlanta once more.
