Weekly round-up 23/04/2010
Time a for a round up of what's moving and a shaking this week. Well, actually nothing is going on at all really, just conjecture. But while I'm here...
MotoGP
No Japanese Grand Prix due to health and safety. Oh, and a bloody huge volcano.
World Superbike
The only major motor-sporting event this weekend. The latest of round WSBK is being held at the 'Cathedral of racing', 'de circuit van Drenthe', at Assen. Well, it would be if they re-instated the other half of the track, so it resembles it's pre-1984 layout. It's nothing more than a glorified national club track now. Oh well, let's hope that Leon Haslam keeps up his great form and takes a win (or two).
F1
You'll be pleased to know that the teams got their equipment back. I know I am. The intrusion of real life must have been a nasty shock for them. On the other hand, Jake Humphrey's tale of how he got back to England from China is rather entertaining.
We now get to look forward to a truly boring race at Barcelona, what joy! I went there in 2003 and stood with some red clad Germans who air-horned every time Schumacher passed us. No one overtook, no one tried to race, and the F3000 event was the most tedious piece of motorsport 'competition' I have ever seen (only the Seat vans race was any good). Next week promises to be no different.
On a lighter note...
Two of the British F3 grid girls went for a spin around Silverstone and you can see how they got on here.
