I just watched the NOLA Indycar race, why isn't the entire race past Lap 14 posted? That entire thing was a disaster, its a shame because the circuit seemed to be able to throw up some great racing,
 
What could possibly go wrong :rolleyes:

Given the track used, i have two words for that situation: Gilles & Villeneuve.

Top tip, fasten your wing very securely when going quite quickly.

So much for thrashing the Pikes Peak record, Tajima was the victim of what I like to call the "Yamada effect". I named it that way, because of the infamous episode suffered by Tarzan Yamada during a Time Attack event in Australia, when the wing on his Cyber (Lancer) Evo flew away from the car's body. Gotta love "Monster"'s reaction; the man was even laughing after a crash like that, that ancient Japanese spirit may be battered, but it is never broken...
 
Just... all of it. One of the best BTCC races ever, if a bit dirty in places. Starts from 16:00:

Edit: it's removed. Look for Round 6 of the 2015 BTCC season - race 3 from Donington.

At the track where I race...​


These things are nuts! I stumbled across a video of them indoors, a ice hockey rink without ice obviously, there were a variety of car classes in the video clip too, was a dodgy video with terrible sound but why aren't these more popular! Bring them to Australia

I don't know what these are actually called but if you could PM me some more information about these things and other classes that would be much appreciated,
 
Not sure what is crazier - that they didnt hold the train for a couple of minutes for the peloton, or that the peloton decided that the crossing gates did not apply to them.

Probably because there wasn't a race after lap 14.

...aaaaaaaaaand it's gone!

Typical. A pity, as if you wanted a race to show your mates to get them in to the BTCC, this one would have been it.

On topic: from the Dunlop V8 Supercars at Adelaide this year. Aussie tourers hitting concrete walls is not unusual; capturing the accident in slow motion when it nearly takes out the camera very much is. Slo-mo starts at 0:48.

 
Some of the random English phrases that the Dutch commentators come out with are great. My favourite is when Maldonado flipped Gutierrez at Bahrain last year. On watching the first replay, all he said was "Un****ing believable".
