Start up your engines
I am awaiting though to see the new style of car as they will be unveiled very soon with the season getting properly on the way on March 25th.
Regulations aim to make the sport a level playing field however this year they are racing into the unknown with the introduction of quite drastic visual elements designed to protect the drivers head.
Will they work? How will it affect racing? One thing is for sure we are witnessing the slow death of open top racing and for that I am sad. I have followed this sport since being a little boy and whilst no one wishes to see anyone get hurt, danger has always been an integral part of these major events. Here were a bunch of men prepared to risk it all, battle wheel to wheel for glory. I only need to refer to the movies ‘Rush’ and ‘Senna’ and you will know the excitement of watching such battles on track. (and sometimes off track too)
So are the cars too safe today? Is the sport too sane with too many crazy rules?
We don't have long to find out now
Green lights to go
Hope you all enjoy this season.

Ouro Preto
Richard has entertained us with his tales of his journey through Spain and Portugal so I am going to try and compete and tell of my latest excursion into the hills of Minas Gerais, Brazil, specifically a town called Our Preto (Black Gold).
