Marquez is different level crazy. He crashed 3 times over the weekend and like every time he crashes he refuses to accept the crash is his fault in any way. He always goes back to the team and says "This bike doesn't do what I want it to do. Bring me one that does" he never owns the crash.

Nurburgring 24 hours this weekend - on the proper Nordschleife

150 cars ranging from full factory Audi/Mercedes etc... GT3 through to some mates in a garage bringing their BMW out to play

I've been tasked by racing24-7 to report through the week, but the Radio Le Mans guys will be on commentary live and in full

 

 

The story so far....

Cheers for that @courageous. I'll be checking that out. How long have you been doing the reporting for? Are you at the circuit?

We also have the Monaco Historic Grand Prix this weekend. Some glorious machines of yesteryear getting a run out.

Tucked away comfortably in the office. Always reminded of the Screenwipe sketch about on site reporting - irony is, being on location means you are probably last to know what is going on

I'm new to the written form, but been doing commentary since 2010 so figured how hard can it be to regurgitate my speech onto page... :rolleyes:

The Indy 500 happens on May 27 and qualifying for the race takes place over this weekend. Once qualifying is done. There'll be a 33 car field running around the Brickyard. BT Sport are covering the qualifying and the race. Alonso raced in it last year. There isn't any high profile involvement of F1 drivers this year with field largely made up of the regular Indycar teams plus a couple of independents. Look for speeds in excess of 230mph.

First time I watched the Indy 500 was last year and that was purely based in Alonso's involvement.

I'll be watching again this year despite not knowing any of the drivers really.

 

In other motorsport related news, I've just booked Hotels, tickets and flights for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prixin November. Just hoping for a title decider but if not, Guns n Roses are playing after the race so that'll make up for it!

Is the Abu Dhabi a Motorsport package deal or have you individually booked all that? I always like seeing the paddocks for those middle eastern events. So different to a European GP.

Booked separately. Worked put so much cheaper.

 

Tickets are on the start finish straight for all three days and include a pit walk on the Thursday.

That should be pretty epic mate. You'll have to post some pics.

If anyone wants to follow quali shootout for the Indy 500. Use the link below

I'm certainly hoping so! I went to the Singapore Grand Prix in 2015 and that was an incredible experience, if not the greatest race. 

 

Have you attended any F1 races?

Ironically the race I went to in Singapore has some nutcase on the track.

I'd highly recommend looking into a race abroad. I've been to Silverstone, Singapore, Melbourne and Monaco and unfortunately all of those beat Silverstone hands down for atmosphere and peripheral activities and events going on.

It's not as expensive as you think either. If you want pointing in the right direction or have any questions, give me a shout.
