First 5 hours Highlights

Hamilton vs Dennis

Lewis Hamilton: "...the car was the best I’ve ever driven around here – it felt really great through the corners, but, even so, we’re losing quite a bit of time in the middle sector, and a couple of tenths in the first and third sectors, too. And then, as you start to push harder, in order to close the gap to the guys in front, the car begins to feel like it’s a little bit on the ragged edge.”

Ron Dennis: "...I find it slightly infuriating when my guys get out of the cars and say, 'I wish I was on the front row' and build in the media the perception that we're giving them cars that are less capable of winning races"

They will drive...FLATOUT!

Hang on...who's that guy??


(pictures RSR Nürburg)
It's our buddy Ron Simons, the boss at RSR Nürburg. Someone must have been smiling at the end of the day!

Imagine the sound...probably went something like this:



More after the jump



















Bonus video: Ron chasing a 599XX at the Hungaroring, site of this week end's Grand Prix.
It's tempting to think this is an illustration of the "I drive...FLATOUT" video, but I think the 599 was just hanging around for Ron, in a Lotus 2-Eleven, to film him.

Rallies are scary

There's no way around it, it's not a question of if but when you'll have a really big one...

Alessandro Bruschetta and Edoardo Civiero in a Group N Subaru STI Friday at Rally Finland's Special stage 6.



He wasn't alone, more after the jump.


Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lahtinen begin the Ford Focus destruction..



Ford's Khalid Al Quassimi and Michael Orr... (I mention the navigators because they are crazier than the drivers)


and finally Ford's Henning Solberg and Ilka Minor



ON the plus side Rally cars cages are insanely well built... nobody seriously injured though you can see Bruschetta's arm come out and back in . the window as the car rolled

Watch that junk in the trunk...

BMW M3 at the 24 hours of Spa

Qualifying for the 2010 Total 24 Hours of Spa just ended, It will be Ferrari, BMW, Audi in the top three grid spots.

Curiously each manufacturer is in a good position to claim a class win: Ferrari is in GT2, Audi in GT3 and BMW runs in GTN which is for non FIA homologated cars.

What? Yes the M3 was homologated GT2 for LeMans under ACO rules and GT under ALMS rules but to run in FIA GT2 the team would need to run Michelin tires. Dunlop being a BMW technical partner there is a conflict and hence the GTN class.
