The thing about Benny was none of it seemed like a put on. Nothing seemed to be an act for television. He legit seemed like an awesome person, and probably a hell of a lot of fun to sit down and listen to over dinner.
Alonso ran wide out of three, bounced off the outside wall. He then spun to the inside wall and smacked that, ping-ponging him back to the outside wall in turn four. He's OK, the car is being towed.
Latest Twitter rumours combined suggest that Alonso is running Andretti shocks (according to Miller) and a Penske setup (according to PT). About as close as you can get to 1995 with a spec chassis and engines.
That idea was so stupid that it might have actually worked, if true.
* A week before Alonso’s first test in the car, the team realized it didn’t even have a steering wheel. Something tells me this wouldn't have happened if Ron Dennis was still in charge. * McLaren purchased a car from technical partner Carlin, and though the car was orange when McLaren received it, ...
Yeah. If it means a driver can walk away from an accident where a large piece of debris would have intruded the cockpit and done some serious damage like the Henry Surtees or Justin Wilson incidents, I don't care how it looks.
I think it was more of a response to the Mike Skinner/Tony Stewart crash at Talladega in the spring of 1999. Though there was a close call in the Daytona 500 as well when Gordon went below the line to take the lead and just barely missed a damaged car limping around on the apron (was it Rudd?). It ...
Bristol all that year was nuts. You had, in the Spring Busch Race: - Ken Alexander getting in everyone's way and practically wrecking his career - Jack Sprague going after Jimmy Spencer - Kevin Harvick shirt-collaring Greg Biffle in one of the most memorable conflicts of the 2000s In the Cup Race: -...
I enjoyed it too, even though I spent half the race on my phone with my ladyfriend and lost interest in the race as a result. I really want to see IndyCar run a 500-miler again at MIS. I mentioned it on Twitter and people seemed to agree, so take that for whatever.
I don't think the idea of virtual racing is the problem. How hard is it for drivers to understand that what they do in these races, now more than ever, represents them and the sport just as much as if they were at a real race? To think nobody's looking when you compete in an event under your own na...
