DTM?

Honestly, it's not that good.

I watched all the DTM races when they were on Speed. Now they're talking about doing an American DTM series.

Not gonna lie. If they did it right, that'd be pretty sexy.

I've seen a few full races posted on YouTube and I really like DTM and it sucks for me that I can't get live coverage. I would rather see SPEED show the DTM races instead of some stupid dirt bike series full of people that are pretty much the pale version of Jersey Shore.

This may be a little out of place but hey...

Jr. Hildebrand has confirmed his entry into Formula Drift USA 2013:

No news on what he will be driving yet but it's assumed to be a GM product, most likely a Camaro...

AND HERE IS THE START OF A NEW SEASON! Very Happy

Signal direct from the states on ESPN UK, no silly studio nonsense, and the picture quality is mint.

by **Ax4x Bandit** Sun 24 Mar 2013 - 18:08

Impressed with Vautier this race. Could this be a future champion or just a fluke run?

by AMR of the Apex Sun 24 Mar 2013 - 18:11

No sooner had you said it Bandit, he's in the pits Razz

I think I should shut up about good runs for the rest of the season. Razz

HINCHTOWN! Very Happy

First time the Go-Daddy car won an Indycar Race Wink

Wow! That was one of the best races of any type that I've seen in many years.

Great race. Delighted for James, and Simona had an awesome drive. Shame she went onto the reds for the final stint. Danica who?

What's a Danica? Oh, the swim suit model. I can see Simona being asked to do a F1 test if she keeps up driving like that. Bernie wants a female.

http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/amati/index.html - The last female F1 driver. Best result: DNQ (30th).

And from the biography:

Amati is already unique in that she is part of the elite club of five women to have tried their hand at F1. However, chances are she belongs to an even more elite club, being to our knowledge the only F1 driver who, as a child, was kidnapped by thugs and held for ransom in a bid to extort money from her father.

I could spend days on F1 Rejects.
