Quick Racing Thoughts

  • GrandAm - Gotta love Juan Pablo Montoya... he was so aggressive over night in the Rolex 24 at Daytona, that his Daytona Prototype needed a new nose! In fact, by the end of the race, the car was on it's third nose!!
  • NASCAR - If the manufacturers want more "brand identity" in NASCAR's Cup series why don't they follow Ford's Nationwide Mustang lead by using the graphics to help make the race cars look more like the road versions. Dodge now have a front that looks like the road car, but why don't they put the side "scoop" on the race cars, as Ford did with the Mustang?















 


  • BTCC - First 2011 rear wheel drive entry is... an Audi A4?? Pardon?? When was the last time you saw a rear wheel drive A4?? The BTCC NGTC specs state - "Drive-train layout (i.e. front or rear wheel drive) as per base vehicle." So much for that idea...   
  • F1 - New cars being unveiled and tested. Queue lots of media articles about performance and testing times... when was the last time pre-season testing gave an accurate preview to the year ahead??
  • BTCC - Read an article lately in Autosport; John Cleland reunited with his old 1991 Vauxhall Cavalier GSI2000. Fabulous!
    • NASCAR - Only 10 days to the Shootout!!
