Image is everything?

So HRT have hired a whiz bang Hollywood creative guy to revamp their corporate imagery. Amazing. We cannot afford to build a new car for 2011, but we have money for some imagery, just so you can make believe you are going somewhere. Having a competitive car I would have thought would be the best corporate image.

NASCAR confirms that they are re-evaluating the point system to make it simpler. They have had this one since 1975 and I would have thought everyone would have understood it by now, everyone in the field gets points. Still they are continuing to think about fuel injection so I guess you should not rush these things. Maybe they are analysing the past five years and trying to come up with a points system that will stop Jimmie Johnson winning this year. All smacks of deckchairs on the Titanic.

Nice to see young American rider Kenny Noyes get a new ride in Moto2 for 2011. I admit to a bias, I knew his Dad Dennis well and he helped me a lot when I was in Spain with Kenny Roberts, so it will be good to see him with another chance. Kenny Noyes had an up and down year in 2010, so with a year's experience let's hope for big things in 2011.

This week sees the real start of the season with the Rolex 24 hour. Murphy The Bear has his punters guide and picks for the podium, so check it out at:
