Vettel – Are we witnessing one of F1′s greatest of all time? – Part 1

September 16th, 2011

For reasons I have abandoned, I wasn’t particularly stimulated by the 2011 F1 season. I could construct a guess, but I am resolute in my conviction, that I would still embrace the conclusion that my disinterested state gained an immovable foothold rather early in the season. The 2010 F1 season is still a vivid memory. [...]

Circuit Racing: CMRC Round 2 – Fire in the darkness

September 11th, 2011

I look forward to Round 1 of the CMRC at Dover Raceway. In my book, it is without contest, the most important race meet on the motorsport calendar.

In most competitive endeavors, playing ‘at home’, tips the scale in favor of the home-team and usually, extraordinary effort is required to nullify that advantage. Ask the Miami Heat [...]

MotoGP rides into Indy this weekend

August 22nd, 2011

I consider myself a rational person. I am not delusional. I am no Picasso or any other painter held in high regard, but I am going to paint a picture nonetheless depicting a motorsports personality. This individual started competing at age 4. His first win came at age 9, but between age 9 and [...]
