Bernie Ecclestone – No plans to put the brakes on

Sun, 20 May 2012 04:07:13 +0000

In an exclusive interview with the Guardian as his 80th birthday approaches, F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone speak out about a variety of subjects, from the future of the sport to Margaret Thatcher, Hitler, Saddam Hussein, democracy, football and what continues to drive him.

The way I feel at the moment, why stop? I do it because I enjoy it. And yesterday is gone. I don’t care what happened yesterday. What else would I do? People retire to die. I don’t get any individual pleasure because we don’t win races or titles in this job. I’m like most business people. You look back at the end of the year and you see what you’ve achieved by working out how much money the company has made. That’s it.

Rossi: Stoner criticism unrealistic

Sat, 19 May 2012 22:07:04 +0000

Valentino Rossi thinks Casey Stoner’s criticism that MotoGP should focus only on being a prototype championship is unrealistic – because the economic situation in the world makes that no longer a realistic proposition. After announcing his retirement at the end of this season, Stoner told the media at Le Mans on Thursday that he believed MotoGP was going ‘backwards’ in considering more production-based regulations . However, although conceding that the field was no longer as competitive at the front as it once was, Rossi said that modern realities meant MotoGP could not simply chase rules without consideration for costs

Tonka fire diorama with 1914 Model T

Sat, 19 May 2012 20:07:09 +0000

A good friend of mine is a Model T fanatic (as am I) and has been good enough to store my 1:1 trailer and car on his property for the past couple years. As a thank you I decided to put this together for him. This was no small task as the kit has been a real brute to find. I have never actually seen one of these together. I have to say this was really one of the most enjoyable projects I have done in a long time.I hope you like it.

Video: NOS energy drink presents the mini-doc Keep Drifting Fun

Sat, 19 May 2012 17:07:04 +0000

Filed under: Motorsports

Drifting’s been off the front pages for a while, the latest reports having more to do with turmoil than tire shredding. As with most things, though, just because it’s not headlining doesn’t mean it’s disappeared. NOS energy drink sent one of our favorite filmic chroniclers, Will Roegge, across the country to survey the drifting world. The result is a mini-documentary called Keep Drifting Fun.

And we do mean the word “documentary” – it’s 30 minutes long. Although there’s plenty of smoke and wall-kissing, its length gives us an opportunity to hear from drifters and organizers to find out what’s behind the sport, as well as their own motivations, where drifters come from and why they drift. It looks at venues beyond the track, like tree-lined back roads in Houston and alleys in late-night El Paso, and we dig that it starts off with the protagonists themselves admitting, “Drifitng is so stupid,” “It’s pointless,” and “When you boil it all down it’s pretty silly.”

The movie, on the other hand, isn’t. Scroll down to check it out.
