Few things are sure in this world. Night will always follow day. Monday will always follow Sunday. An undercover member of the FIA will always follow McLaren. And Denny Hamlin will always win at Pocono. Oh, and Pocono will always be a bit boring, though if we can always have a restart every dozen laps or so, then there’s always a place for it, in my opinion. Elsewhere, Indycar went racing again,...

Right, there we go, we’ll get the big, scary FM picture out of the way first. For those who have been living under rock for a week, this is Mike Conway’s last lap flight in the Indy 500, launching his Dreyer & Reinbold entry off Ryan Hunter—Reay as the American ran out of fuel. Conway sustained a broken leg in the accident, and is expected to be out for at least three months. Before...

So, F1 is coming back to America, with a race in Austin, and a track designed by Hermann Tilke. Never has a sentence had such a great beginning and such a disappointing ending. And in line with America suddenly realising that racing other than NASCAR actually exists the country managed to scrape together not one, but two potential F1 teams, with an amalgum of stupid names, money (I’ll explain...

If that picture does nothing for you, then you’re a little dead inside. There are few tracks that carry the same terror as the Nurburgring Nordschleife, and probably no race that is even vaguely similar to the Nurburgring 24 Hours – where Porsches compete alongside (and occasionally through, between and around) anything from Renualt Clios to four-door Aston Martins. Elsewhere in a weekend...

Is that a beautiful picture? After four years of almost soul-destroying domination Jimmie Johnson has been turned mortal by the addition of a spoiler and is finally starting to have the same luck as everyone else. However, what the Gods of motorsport give with one hand they take away with the other, with Formula One in Barcelona. From the moment I switched on the TV to watch the race and was greeted...

Nothing like a barbecue to start the British summer*! You’ll be pleased to know the driver – Mike Hezemans – got out before the Corvette had most of it’s rear end melted. As well the FIA GT1 championship visiting Silverstone NASCAR and Indycar both had Saturday night races at Richmond and Kansas respectively, with neither race setting the world (or a Corvette) alight withe Indycar...

In a week where NASCAR went to Talladega, a track like no other that trades (maybe too much) on the likelihood of huge multi-car accidents, it is even more telling that were given another reminder of the danger of racing. At the Nurburging Nordschleife on Saturday during a VLN 43-year-old Leo Löwenstein was killed when his Aston Martin was involved in a crash which resulted in it catching fire,...

Dammit! I trained my giant wrong, it was meant to get Milka Duno! American racing was back this week, with Indycar heading to Barber Motorsports Park (or Cadwell Park on growth hormones for British readers, everyone else can look it up) and NASCAR way out west in Phoenix Barber Motorsports Park is exactly like a artistic masterpeice (before you ask, giant spiders are the things of nightmares, not art),...

As America retreated back to its dinner tables for the Easter weekend (save for the Truck and Nationwide series, whose teams obviously aren’t good enough to be given major national holidays off) it was racing in Europe that took centre stage, while being in Asia. F1 looked set for a repeat of last year’s Malaysian wash out (though Kimi was too busy to reprise his Choc Ice routine) with...

The return of Mother Nature to Power Rankings. Established readers (I like to believe there are at least three of you) will know that while just about anything can find it’s way into the rankings I tend to draw the line at Mythical Beings (at least until Sasquatch strolls into the garage, which would of course mean he was no longer mythical, damned semantics). However, that doesn’t stop...
