Poll – Who will win Race of Champions
Poll – Will you follow ROC?
The end of the motorsport calendar marks the return of one of my favorite yearly events, the Race of Champions. This year ROC will be held outside of Europe for the first time. Beijing’s Bird Nest, China’s Olympic Stadium, will play host to this year’s event and will feature the top driving talent from around [...]

Jean Todt wins FIA election and I die a little inside
Well, Ari Vatanen lost the bid to become Max Mosley’s successor as the head of the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the sanctioning body for Formula One and World Rally Championship, today.
Amid accusations of intimidation and unfair voting practices, Todt handily won the election, 135-49. The FIA says that 12 votes were dismissed because they [...]

Finally, I get my hands on DiRT 2
Last night I went to Best Buy to buy a game for my Nintendo DS. I’m flying up to New York this weekend and wanted something to do while at the airport and on the plane.
I decided on buying DiRT 2, despite the fact I would be playing it on the DS instead of an [...]
Poll – Who should represent USA at ROC?
There have yet to be any confirmations regarding the American contingency for this year’s Race of Champions. ROC will take place in Beijing on November 2-4.
ROC has pretty much filled its roster of driving talent. World Champions (current and former) are well represented in the line-up. One problem for the event is the NASCAR Chase [...]
Readers pick Richard to take crown
After a week of voting, you guys chose Subaru Rally Team Canada’s Patrick Richard to take home this year’s Canadian Rally Championship driver’s title. Antoine L’Estage, who leads the series, needs to finish ahead of Richard (or second if Richard wins) at Rally of the Tall Pines to take home the title.
Richard will need an [...]
Ari responds, sort of…
I sent off a request to interview Ari Vatanen last week and received a response from Tiina Lehmonen, who I can only assume is Mr. Vatanen’s PR person. It’s no secret that if I had a voice, I would vote for Vatanen to succeed current FIA President Max Mosley in the upcoming elections. But, I [...]
Change we can believe in!
Thanks Kevin for suggesting this!
This image was created in response to a report that the Formula One Driver’s Association largely supports Ari Vatanen to succeed Max Mosley as the next President of the Fédération International de l’Automobile (FIA).
Mad props to obamicon.me for making this as easy as possible!
Poll – Who will be this year’s Canadian Rally champion?
Last weekend saw the Canadian Rally Championship live out its penultimate round of the season, the Pacific Forest Rally. After two days of intense rallying, Subaru Rally Team Canada’s Patrick Richard came away with the victory, crucial for his 2009 title hopes.
The championship comes down to the final event of the season, Rally of the [...]
Todt comes off arrogant, distant
WRC.com interviewed both candidates for the presidency of the FIA this weekend before the penultimate round of the 2009 season.
Jean Todt, the supposed front-runner for the position, was asked why he would make the best president. His response was a little alarming:
You should explain that, not me! I think it’s very difficult to see yourself [...]
Poll – Who will be this year’s championship runner-up?
Only one round remains in the 2009 Rally America Championship series, Lake Superior Rally. With Travis Pastrana locking up his fourth consecutive driver’s title, the race for the final standings in the overall classifications continues. Andrew Comrie-Picard and Andi Mancin posted solid results from Rally Colorado two weeks ago, while Ken Block saw another premature [...]
Can Ari save WRC?
I’m not a fan of Max Mosley. This has nothing to do with his sex scandal, or the fact he thinks it’s fun to dress up like Hitler and get spanked, but because he’s failed to raise the level of the World Rally Championship since he’s been in office. Mosley was elected President of the [...]
