good, they didn't have a leg to stand on

how many times has Abt been disqualified post race?
4th, 5th time? no other team has been so negligent as they have been

also, Bird got a penaly because he got out of his car in the pitlane, and not in the garage?
what did Di Grassi do? they saw his wishbone was broken, he got out, and walked inside the garage to enter the other car
he should get the same penalty!! (or neither should've gotten one..)

anyone else excited for the new racing season?
WSBK and indy already didn't disappoint
this weekend motoGP, which never disappoints
and the F1 soap is also shaping up nicely

i'm still to decide if i'll also follow moto 2/3 and F2
let's see how much time it all takes

TK announced will stop with indycar after this years indy500
he might come back for subsequent indy500's, but no more full seasons

tbh, i wondered sometimes why he was still running around, his good results have been few and far between the last couple of years
he's a nice and funny bloke though! and for that he will be missed

there has been a rocket attack during the podium ceremony of the second FE race :shock:

No injuries in missile attack on Riyadh during Formula E weekend

Some loud bangs were heard above the circuit where the two Formula E races took place this weekend. It is believed to have been a missile attack intercepted by the Saudis. Although debris damaged a house, no one was injured.
