But is it going to be destroyed or only to be closed?

If I remember well, Circuito del Jarama is also closed...

Well, actually, the MMP (Miller Motorsports Park) is ''only'' going to close. If they find a investor, the track could be saved (and opened) again. If not, I think this track would be demolished like Jacarepaguá. :shhh:

Well, Jarama is being renovated since beginning 2014. Then, the track was in a pretty bad condition, but now, it's going to be better. :)

Three flips by Chevy cars so far in Indy 500 practice. This could be an ugly 500, something about the cars this year is making them flip much easier than the previous few years when they hit the wall backwards.

It's funny to think that the current car was designed to prevent flips yet it seems to flip easier than the old chassis.. :scratch:

Although this time it seems like they opened aero rules caused the cars to simply go so fast they got past the tipping point of flipping when going backwards. Apparently they've taken away some of the power from the engines after the third flip(?) but it remains to be seen if it's enough.

And again a crash at the Indy500. This time it hit a Honda after hitting 3 Chevys. Not like the Chevys, who crashed because they spun, James Hinchcliffe's Honda crashed, because the steering failed. He had to go to a hospital and had an surgery. His Indy 500 is over. :(

That was baaaaaaaaad. Hope this doesn't turn out to be Jules Bianchi 2.0 :(

I think, his accident was more a Massa 2.0 then a Bianchi 2.0, mostly because of order of the accident, but it can fastly turn from a Massa 2.0 to a Bianchi 2.0, though. Only thing we can do now is that the first will happen and not the last. :(

What do you think you can do at the Istanbul Park circuit? Racing? Not anymore. In a few days you can there only buy used cars. :|


BTW, Scott Dixon is IndyCars champion.

My friend went there a long time ago, testing some BMW models. If I could recall, it's either M3, M5, or even both.

Anyone watched Bathurst 1000? Quite an action there I suppose, with all the lead changes, the drama, and the wet racing. Apparently though, Lowndsey won the race and Whincup doesn't seem to learn from his last year's mistake.

Though seeing the Jandal Man Scott McLaughlin in the Top 5 is a sight to see...

During the last MotoGP weekend, Grand Prix of Japan, Alex de Angelis crashed in Free Practice 4 hitting in the wall inside of the track.
Rider is OK (he doesn't have at least broken spinal cord) but his injuries look very seriously.
Hope we'll back to health.

So what do you think about this Rossi? I believe that he deliberately kicked Marquez, but didn't want him to fall. I had a few conversations with other people, but all of them blame Marquez somehow.

Well, I can't really believe that Marquez couldn't fight for the victory today.
He was riding specially so slow to disturb Rossi, but #46 lost nerves and pushed him out of track.
Not sure if he wanted to crash Marquez, but if #93 didn't fall, he could still ride and disturb Rossi - especially to help Lorenzo.

In my opinion, it was Rossi's fault, but also Marquez's blame.
Even if Marc felt offended by Valentino's words from Thursday press conference, he shouldn't take it on the track.
If I was on Marquez's place, I would fight for another victory and say to Yamaha riders "You want to get a title? Fight for the title!"
He should fight for the victory, not for disturbing other riders.

At the end of it all - I'm not defending Rossi, but Marquez is not without blame.

But the fact that Lorenzo was "making an alliance" with Marquez to bring down Rossi sounded like something from Survivor where someone silently betrays his original alliance... In other words, Lorenzo is blindsiding Rossi, his own teammate.

But why they had to go great lengths to do such a thing?
