I do not remember him but he seems like an indomitable person.

what company was that? And could you expound upon "sit in a top fuel funny car "?

Australia is ON! Ready to stay up all night?

Found a live stream of first practice on web here

<edit> Virgin fuel tank *may* be 12 L too small to finish race at full speed. (or the engine is not as efficient as planned)

I am not looking to pick the winning driver I want one that I can get excited about, someone that has a chance at winning but isn't a boring driving machine, doesn't hurt if the driver is cute

e.g. past obsessions were Villeneuve and Kimi
I used to HATE Michael Schumacher and from what I saw so far this year I still do he's just very annoying to me

And by Australia, you mean Melbourne, Australia.

Today I saw the fighter jets buzz Albert Park.

This morning I heard the F1's roar round the circuit.

When's the race on? I feel like a nap.
