    since you're in Boston, figgered I'd mention that we frequent Thompson and trek out to Whiskey Hill in Palmer quite a bit. Limerock,NHIS and The Glen as well. A bunch of friends are really into it and I'm Gilligan, crew technically. Running around in a golf cart, shooting video and pics, swapping tires and helping tech the cars out. I've done some corner work at Thompson but it's been a few years. If I were a dentist or still had the buckets of money to pour into racing, I'd be on the track more often but happy to support my friends and watch them winning. Let me know if you'd like to join us. My buddy Darius is in Daytona right now and has a company that he started a few years back wrapping race cars, dude is like 27 and verrry fast in his 350Z. check this out

    old pics but great memories with these 2 knuckleheads. the 350Z is faster than ever and the mustang is now a GT full blown race car and being rebuilt after a very nasty crash at 130 mph and he walked away, very sore and freaked out. https://www.flickr.com/photos/morozz...57645543674940

    Incredibly detailed sculpture portrays Senna’s position driving through iconic Eau Rouge

    The statue portrays Senna in the unusual pose of driving through the fabled Spa-Francorchamps corner in his cramped Formula 1 cockpit.

    It weighs in at some 160kg of raw bronze and took more than a year to complete by sculptor Paul Oz and his team.

    They used hundreds of 2D images to create a 3D model. The model was then resurfaced in clay, with detail such as the patches on Senna's overalls added. Then wax casts were made of the clay model and the statue was finished in a foundry. Well, that seems like the short version of the process, anyway.

    This is a wholly official project: just three life-size statues will be created, with one sent to the McLaren Technology Centre, the other to Brazilian non-governmental organisation Instituto Ayrton Senna and the third available for sale.

    That's pretty cool. He looks totally relaxed even though he was probably right on the edge.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...

    listen to an extract from the exclusive Alan Henry Tapes, in which Ayrton Senna talks to Alan Henry and Denis Jenkinson about overtaking on one of the most famous corners in Formula 1

    One of the foremost specialist writers of his or any other generation, Alan Henry was a regular contributor to Motor Sport and its one-time weekly sibling Motoring News, as well as a prolific author, editor of Autocourse and Formula 1 correspondent of The Guardian – to cite but a few of his credits.

    His family recently contacted Motor Sport and asked whether we’d like to listen to some of the cassette tapes still stored in Alan’s old office, with a view to using some of the content and bringing his work to the attention of readers who might have missed him the first time around. We are proud so to do, to perpetuate the memory of a greatly valued colleague who was also wonderful company.

    I can't help but think that Mr Haas is going to regret having anything to do with these Rich Energy Drink clowns. Not becoming the Alfa Romeo works team (Sauber) must have been his signal to start getting his own money out though. Never saw the logic in his advertising machine tools business model.

    Netflix’s Drive To Survive, a fly-on-the-wall Formula 1 series, will be available to households very soon. It’s a beautifully-produced peek beneath the skirts of the sport.

    It isn’t particularly revelatory, but just fills in the colours of the people in the garages, on the pitwall and in the cockpit in a way that doesn’t get seen in the immediacy of race coverage.

    Each 45-minute episode goes with a theme and is a stand-alone picture; you don’t need to have seen the previous one and it isn’t chronological. But there are some recurring characters.

    Sweary Günther [Steiner] from Haas is sure to become a bit of a cult figure, for example. You get to see what the Sainz household looks like as the three Carloses (there’s a cousin as well) spend some downtime there. You can see the nervous anguish on the face of Daniel Ricciardo’s mum as a race gets underway; watch how he is with her and his dad afterwards.
    It’s fast-paced and exciting in its story-telling; there’s no dry documentary commentary to pull the story along, it has to do it on its own, using the action as the jump-off points. Even for the most hardcore of purists it will be a guilty pleasure, but is sure to pull in a lot of those who wouldn’t necessarily bother to watch a race too.

    It’s been done in partnership with F1 itself – and is the most concrete development yet of how Liberty is trying to reach out and project the sport in a way that’s not really been done before.

    I binged watched the F1 docuseries on Netflix this weekend while smoking a pork butt. Most of the series is about the midfield teams. I hope there will be a season 2.

    Binge wathced it too.

    Apparently Ferrari and Mercedes "limited their cooperation" with the film makers. Thought it was pretty good.

    and I'll mention in this thread again the the 1993 documentary by the BBC about McLaren is a must watch
