So Chandook did run on asphalt, with the treaded tires, and if that is the finished surface the piece I saw did not look great. Chandook liked the garages and buildings, and said the track will have some good passing points when it is finished. The shots show crews putting up guard rail and lots of unfinished dirt, so the buildings are done but the track is not. "The track itself needs a bit more work on the asphalt and the kerbs, but the organiser's think it's all within their time-lines and are confident that it will be ready on time. And the location's nice, we're overlooking the sea." That's nice. Why do people forget that the only thing that is really important is the track? When I rebuilt Phillip Island we spent $5m, crazy eh? But as Wayne Rainey said, "you spent the money where it is important."
Daniel Ricciardo won the FRenault 3.5 race and hoisted himself closer to the points leader, and did himself a lot of good for the future I'm sure. Daniel said that after the long break "It is good to know that I still have the ability to drive a race car." No problem there Daniel.
Pedrosa took pole for tomorrow's race, it seems he and the Honda have come alive for the second half of the season, although his team mate is struggling. Lorenzo is second and Stoner got it sorted to take third, while his team mate Nicky Hayden is way down in 14th! Does not seem to be much love lost between Rossi and Casey, could make for some interest next year. Toni Elias took his first pole for Moto2 and his championship hopes look good.
In Germany Max Biaggi took Superbike pole from Checa, but Troy could do no better than 14th! What happened there? In the Supersport class Mark Aitchison maintained his tenth position in qualifying.
Superleague is at the Adria circuit in Italy if anyone cares. I am a Tottenham fan since birth, I can still name the 1961 double winning team, but have no interest in a car racing with the team name, even if they are vying for the championship. Why does someone think that the two are compatible? I never understood the rational for A1GP, or Superleague, or the other odd open wheel series. In today's world there is not enough money to go around for all these and GP2, GP3, F2, F3, FRenault3.5, FBMW, and I'm sure I missed some.
