It probably looks more frightening because it's a tight undulating road course without a fuckton of runoff area and it's not a Tilkedrome.

He would have been, but he wasn't good enough to keep up with the likes of Nico Prost, Jarno Trulli or Piquet Jr. so he lost his ride in Formula E.

I totally forgot Barber had that many sweeping corners. Some of those sections in the back half look awesome but frightening at the same time. Good layout, impossible to make it Grade 1 though sadly.

Shame on anyone not watching Moto3 right now. Series leader, who has never won a race, started from last (34th) because his engine mapping was illegal. Comes through the field in a record breaking run and I won't spoil it but you must find it and watch it.

India has revoked Vijay's passport after he fled to London, he owes more than a $1billion to Indian banks lol.

Seems to me we're gonna have an 18 car grid soon after Force India and Sauber collapse.

Naw. Fiat are biding their time and waiting to see which one collapses first. Might see a new company take over at least one of them as well, no one wanted to buy a lovely new team like HRT but buying Sauber/force india means you are buying yourself a history as well. I also suspect Ferrari or Mercedes might want to buy Force India just to really piss off VJ and Eddie.

Vijay sort of mortgaged his stake in Force India over the winter and isn't really funding it anyway, so if he disappears it would just mean Diageo end up with more control over the team.
