Last weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix was enthralling.
Wet qualifying putting Alonso on the front row and then epic chase of
Verstappen by Carlos Sainz Jnr kept the race alive to the very end, the winning
margin was under a second. The second year of GT3 rules DTM offers quality
racing with all bar Honda/Acura and Lexus represented on the grid and 3-time
champion Rene Rast winning the last round. On the GT3 subject, anyone else
baffled by the ACO/WEC wanting to mess with the look (at a huge cost to the
competitor) of the current cars for next year’s races? At Hidden Valley down under, De Pasquale,
Mostert & Waters shared out the race wins in the really cool looking indigenous liveries race. The weekend we can look forwards to the Goodwood
Festival of Speed, the Safari rally starts today, WTCC is in Spain, the IMSA
field visit the epic Watkins Glen & NASCAR race round & round Nashville.
Enjoy!
