Reduce Costs Not Test Days

30 August 2010 08:08 AM
I think it was the Monaco Grand Prix in 1999 that saw Michael Schumacher return to Fiorano on the Friday rest day to practice starts. By the time the race rolled around on Sunday, Schumacher, starting second on the grid alongside Mika Hakkinen, got a brilliant start and took the lead and never looked back, [...]

14 March 2010 20:03 PM
It doesn’t seem all that long ago that I arrived in Adelaide. So for a place where time apparently moves so slow that they’re currently 20 years behind the rest of Australia, I’m surprised at how fast the last three days have passed me by. You could say they passed by V8 Supercar fast, but [...]

Abu Dhabi: The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same

21 February 2010 22:02 PM
The first round of the 2010 V8 Supercars has been run and won with a somewhat unexpected although not unusual result with Jamie Whincup standing on the top step in both races.
