Belgian Grand prix

Belgian Grand prix

Hmm, that start was interesting.

Hamilton wasn't too chuffed, when interviewed after the race, he was asked if he enjoyed watching the rest of it, he replied "No" and stormed off.

The 2012 season is coming

The 2012 season is coming

Anyone got any predictions?

Who will do well? Who might win even?

Or what about people (like me) who are extremely pissed off about some of the races going to Sky only.

Schumacher coming back

Schumacher coming back

Awful circumstances, but what do you think of Michael Schumacher coming out of retirement to stand in for Felipe Massa?

It'll certainly be interesting, but how is he going to get race fit and get used to the car?

Mind you even if he's only half as good as he was at his peak he'll still be better than most of the...

That time of year again....

That time of year again....

..... when the REAL men are out on the track. I am of course referring to the Isle of Man TT.

Over 37 miles of fast roads, brick walls, lamp-posts, phone boxes, etc, and over 200 Miles in a six-lap race. In the Superbike race today John McGuiness became the 2nd most successful rider of all time, beating Mike...

Well done Bradley !!

Finally ! Oxfordshire's Bradley Smith has had the 125cc Grand Prix win that has been on the cards for ages. In fact, it has been so long since he last won... he was actually legally allowed to drink the Champagne on the podium...
