It'll be to contain the amount of dust kicked up by the cars, and prevent what I'd imagine is a serious amount of erosion on the hillsides. It's rubbish, but makes sense because without the paving, Pikes Peak would slowly disappear if they didn't do anything about it!

If the Ferrari V12 was the best sounding engine in history, then this is a very close second.

EDIT: And here is the race in question.

Say what you want about EJ but I must say he can do a damn good voiceover.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you there - I would say that the Matra V12 trumps that. This is what the engine sounded like in sports car guise, fitted to the Matra 670, but Matra used exactly the same engine during the early 1970's in F1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inpyXFsKLSo

...looking at the Red Baron's Ferrari parked in the gravel trap, and particularly the sidepods, I think I've worked out where Marussia got their car design for this year from.

Notice his left hand. Unless he's downshifting, his hand is barely holding the wheel. So for 70% of the lap, he's pretty much one handed. Amazing!

NASCAR's? In MY Bathurst?

There were not nearly enough cars in that race for that to be NASCAR. Only 9 cars? Even with 4 times as many, you would not have a full field of 43...

That was the Australian version of NASCAR, but with only two paved ovals in the entire country, it was always doomed to failure.

I assume that's not the Kevin Schwantz of motorcycling fame?

So it was on a par with ASCAR then.

I think it is, he made some really baffling career choices right after getting out of bikes

Such as driving a massively out of date Oldsmobile in a minor league stock car race.

Except it used actuall ex-NASCAR's while ASCAR used an ASA or Late Model Stock Car Format

Was unsure which thread to put this in. Not so rejectful for Petrov, but beyond rejectful for Massa.

Win for Petrov. Especially since the Caterham is probably the second-worst car in the field.

You mean third-worst.

Although in Valencia i'd say they were fourth-worst.

The car was more than just half-decent for starters, but they have failed to keep up spectacularly :lol:

McLaren, a non-reject team, make this cartoon and end up on both the Reject Youtube Thread and the Not-So-Reject Youtube Thread.

Are HRT still making HRToons, and if so, where do they go?
