I love Suzuka.

Watching 500cc 2-stroke GP bikes race on that track back in the 1980s was a life-changing experience for me.

Have You seen FIA Sidecar Racing? It was on yesterday afternoon on NBCS (NBC Racing, 220 on DirecTV) Channel, just caught the end of it. I’ve never heard of it before.

Niki Lauda was present at the track in Japan, Sunday.

Bianchi’s crash is related to running in the rain, most likely.

Reminds me of the movie “Rush.” Japan GP, rain, championship on the line.

Driver safety. Jackie Stewart took up the cause of driver safety, too.

There is another movie “Afternoon of a Champion” (about Stewart) initially made in 1972, but only re-released in 2013.

I saw it on Netflix.
