Urgh, what an entitled brat. 

Haha it's never his fault is it, always finds someone or something else to blame. What an arrogant miserable little shit. 

Rinus van Kalmthout surprisingly good! Also David Schumacher looks to be improving fast.

Ahhh, the Race of Champions. I attended one in Düsseldorf in 2011. Good times.

Weird to see the name Vettel and Schumacher together again. But a good kind of weird.

Seb & Mick finished second in ROC Nations Cup overall after losing against Tom Kristensen and Johann Kristofferson in the final... Individual ROC takes place tonight!

The race is fantastic. Just got red flagged for the second time after they have been racing in torrential rain for hours; not sure if it will resume. Still 1 hour and 49 minutes to go. Alonso in front at the moment after a mistake by Nasr.

Those conditions are mad.

As if the new all-female series concept wasn't controversial and stupid enough, the first driver selection is done and many of the fastest drivers in the selection tests are surprisingly missing out from the final 28... no one actually knows the selection criteria (should be speed, potential, and overall aptitude but it's apparently not); it's getting even more obvious that it's just a PR-stunt and money grab and nobody in charge really give a fuck about actually promoting women in racing.

I'm probably talking to myself here as usual but in case anyone's interested: there's Bathurst 12 hour this weekend; arguably one of the most entertaining GT3 races on the calendar and it never fails to deliver in terms of action and overall entertainment.

28 Class A entries, 10 different makes of GT3 cars (Audi, Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mclaren, Mercedes AMG, Nissan, Porsche), world-class teams all over the world - all racing on one of the most spectacular race track ever with plenty of fast dangerous curves and big elevation changes. 

Last year's extended highlights:

 

Official stream will be available here: https://www.bathurst12hour.com.au/streams-tv/international-streaming/ as well as on youtube.

What an amazing race it was... Well worth staying up last night. Plenty of on track drama and exciting clean wheel to wheel racing throughout the race. Brilliant win for Porsche/Earl Bamber Motorsports too; the last 20 minutes of the race were absolutely incredible. The best I've seen in quite a while.

Been closely following Robert Wickens' recovery after that horrific crash for a while and it's so amazing how remarkable his journey to rehabilitation has been so far... Going from multiple severe injuries (thoracic spinal facture, spinal cord injury, neck fracture, tibia and fibula fractures to both legs, fractures in both hands, fractured right forearm, fractured elbow, four fractured ribs and a pulmonary contusion) that left him paraplegic to walking with assistance and pedaling a stationary bike on his own ^_^ So happy for him; hope it gets better and better every day.
