I can assure you that the European Grand Prix in Baku complies with every safety measure and its going to offer an amazing spectacle.

To cap off the whole karting discussion here's 13 minutes of me trying to find my way past a guy that just upgraded to a shifter kart while I had a loose rear right tire that I didn't know about at the time.

I hope the tear-off thing is true and I hope the drivers have been writing offensive messages on them like the air force ground crews do with bombs.

Well from the broadcast you can expect some great insights from Greg "Rusty" Rust and Alan "loving" Jones.

Maybe if the race was held in an oil rich desert country they might have enough money to check that type of thing, but not in some tiny European principality.

I guess it actually depends how heavy the manhole cover is and if its properly set and the type of car and its speed, there are lots of factors.
