team orders ?hahahahahahaha

 

That was so friggin awesome!!!!!!

 

yeah by far number one
some backround for those that are a bit young or just not up on the F1 history .......................... that was for second place


I think Nigel Roebucks comments on the incident paint a clearer picture of the Villeneuve philosophy..” Thank God there will always be a few people in this world who simply know not how to give in. It was foolhardy, yes, but it came from the same pure competitiveness and spirit which has characterised all his races. He likes to win, rather than not lose”.

A philosophy that Gilles put into his own words that were not all that flattering to his fellow drivers Some guys in Formula One, well, to me, they’re not racing drivers, they drive racing cars, that’s all. They're doing half a job and in that case I wonder why they do it at all.”

Not giving it your all, to Gilles mind, was a sin, but for all that he was a clean pure racer never putting his fellow racers in danger just for a win. Lauda wrote of him, “He was the craziest devil I ever came across in Formula 1.. .The fact that, for all this, he was a sensitive and lovable character rather than an out-and-out hell-raiser made him such a unique human being”. Flying, snowmobiling or driving, he was a risk-taker of classic proportions. Yet his fellow drivers said that on the track he was scrupulously fair and did not put anyone’s safety other than his own in jeopardy. Something that was demonstrated in his battle royale with Rene Amoux in the 1979 French Grand Prix, probably the most exciting race for second place ever, with Arnoux and Gilles banging wheels and fighting in a fashion never to be forgotten. Gilles unwilling to believe that his slower Ferrari could not beat the faster Renault, and by God he did if only by the tick of a stop watch. “The duel with Gilles is something I’ll never forget, my greatest souvenir of racing. You can only race like that, you know, with someone you trust completely, and you don’t meet many people like him. He beat me, yes,, and in France, but it didn’t worry me - I knew I’d been beaten by the best driver in the world.”.. And you know Gilles loved it... ‘That is my best memory of Grand Prix racing. Those few laps were just fantastic for me - outbraking each other and trying to race for the line, touching each other but without wanting to put the other car out. It was just two guys battling for second place without trying to be dirty but having to touch because of wanting to be first. It was just fantastic! I loved that moment.”

 

How can people say they are zero precent interested in MotoGP?! It's racing! The sound of the engine is pure secks. Thats at least worth 50%.


Cool! Capcom's Auto Modellista was awesome.

I love when they have game booths. I won two free Intense mtn bike tires for doing the fastest downhill time a few years back at Sea Otter when they had the Downhill Domination booth set up.

 

that was definitely the best race I had ever seen...would have been crazy is Stoner could have kept up.

I am soooo looking forward to the USGP!!!

 

Rossi passed Stoner in the dirt of the corkscrew last year. I don't have a clue how he was able to stay on the bike!

That was CART cars. Alex Zanardi passed Brian Herta for the lead on the last laps.

I was working track security that day at the corkscrew and for the last lap had gone out to the wall under the tree at 8a. The only people closer to that than me was Zanardi and Herta. It was badass

 

That was a sick race.

 

motoGP is freakin INSANE! great post!

 

Holy crap that was awesome! that was before they tore down that wall too! theres way more room for future passes to go down now!

The Pass is the ****, who thinks of pulling that crap on the Corkscrew. ZOMGWTFPWNBBQ

As for the thread, Rossi is too crazy.

 

haha yeah. We know that CART racer didnt get inspiration from Gran Turismo because it was'nt even released then!

But I love attempting the pass in every video game. lawl
