Arg...my usual weekend dilemma - watch racing or go out racing. As usual, I'm going to go out racing (sunday autox, monday track day), but it's an especially hard choice with Monaco. For once I wish Fox were broadcasting so I could take a mini-tv to the autocross.

Here's to downloading the torrent when I get home Monday and avoiding the results until after I watch the race. (Which I don't mind as ITV's coverge > Speed's coverage).

Not only is the Monaco GP this weekend, but I heard that there's a race in the Midwest somewhere as well.

Busy weekend.

In 2000 we went to the US Grand Prix at Indianapolis.

What an experience! You cannot imagine how loud those engines scream unless you're in the stands.

Yeah a Ferrari front row with Massa on pole was a surprise for a lot of people I think. Should be a very interesting race, especially if it rains. I haven't seen a wet Monaco race yet and looking forward to it.

Forza Ferrari!

That was a good race. F1 would be about 500x more interesting if they ran every race in the rain.

Love the dynamic nature of the race today. The average lap times dropped by almost 20 second from race start to race finish. Awesome...
