Formual 1
returned last weekend and the script writers did a pretty good job! It’s been
quite some time since we’ve seen attrition rates as high, we had plenty of
wheel to wheel action, a little controversy and an adjustment to the pecking
order. Both Looksmart and BBR have already announce the Ferraris and we expect
to hear about the rest of the grid very soon. In this unusual year, there’s
effectively a re-run this weekend but the weather forecast is looking rather
different with much lower temperatures and the threat of rain on Saturday.
Fancy something a bit silly to watch in the meantime? Drifting is one of those
sports which clearly takes a lot of skill but it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
We’re not generally keen but then when looking for info on the Kamaz trucks
delivered by DiP this week, Andre found one of them being made to go very sideways! This we heartily approve of.
