SHANGHAI
ITS ALL HAPPENING!! You Northern hemisphere blokes at the bottom of the world have no excuses. Wach it!!! Look and learn. Be amazed. There is overtaking on every lap ( well, bloody nearly!) See why the top european, and nascar drivers tremble at the thought of driving these race cars.See why the ones who try fail, John Cleland being an exception. See how real drivers race real cars, some of these blokes are full grown men, not jockeys like Alonso the cute! Some of the F1 pilots would need booster seats to see over the steering wheel. Whatever you do guys, don't let your partners watch, or you will be migrating

You have to be fir to race in V8's, thats the only thing I don't like. Remember the old Stephen Johnson? Now he kinda looks.... well fat again, but he was thin for a while. When will motor racing again be for men who know how to race AND eat a meat pie AND drink a slab after a race. I fear that V8's are becoming like cricket players. Anyone remember boonie, hughes and border. You can't tell me that d#$% Johnson or Moffat were ever fitness freaks. We need to go back to the times when the race driver was the Ballast!
Enough ranting. Should be a good race. All you kids not lucky enough to live on the top of the world in Oz should watch it.

Ok, Lewis may win the WDC in 07, but Sato will beat him in 08.

I have to agree with most of that, although Moffat was a fitness freak.
Perhaps you mean the Geoghan Brothers? One of them, when asked about setting the car up for different corners replied, " I slide my backside along the seat".
I have one great regret about the Shanghai meeting
There was a tin top driver in Oz, whose parents had a sense of humour, and I think it is a huge disappointment he is not competing in the China race.
I would have cracked up at the commentary, his name is Rick Shaw.

Grice racing a ute at Bathurst many years ago is still one of my favourite memories. He found a loophole in the regs and the organisers couldn't stop him. Sensational advertising for Akubra back thenrah wrote:I am sure being a heavy drinker does not help the driving skills, but it sure makes it fun to watch.

Kelly wins the round. Its good to see five different winners in the five rounds so far.
folowed by two kiwis!!!!!! In the last race
Kelly had a rocketship on the day, and now that the teams have some data, next year should be a boomer! Interesting that the track looks so wide with F1 cars on it, but there is not a lot of room for side by side V8s in some sections
