I came across this rather grisly story while watching the pilot of Boardwalk Empire this morning, which (by the way) is blaaaady marvellous viewing. Robert Kubica, the Formula 1 Renault driver, was badly injured in a rally crash in Italy on Sunday. And by ‘badly injured’ I mean surgeons had to reattach veins, tendons and muscles in his arm to save it.
If you were sitting on the fence with that condo purchase on Greenpoint, now really is the time to put an offer on the table. A number of consortiums, most notably the functionally-named Cape Town Grand Prix Bid Company are making bids to bring the F1 Grand Prix to Cape Town.
While many sportsmen spend their time in the run up to a major event practicing, James Hunt spent the 2 weeks prior to his famed 1976 win in Japan on a “round-the-clock alcohol, cannabis and cocaine binge”.
I’ll get straight to it, so listen carefully – if you deposit £40 or more into your lottery account, you will automatically stand in line to win a VIP trip to the 2010 Monaco F1 Grand Prix 2010 . But WAIT, they will double your deposit at the same time (£80) and you get to […]
I must admit I’ve been dying to do Fantastic Racing for a while now and when Cape Town Tourism invited me to a day at Killarney (same place I did the Audi Advanced Driving Course the other day) racing around in single seater racing cars, well, I couldn’t resist! This is what I found upon […]
An anonymous source dropped off a flash drive with the Cape Royale concierge, for my attention. The drive contained scans of all the documents pertaining to the recent Formula 1 scandal, involving the Renault F1 team, boss Flavio Briatore and driver Nelson Piquet Jnr. The same scandal which has resulted in Flavio’s recent immediate resignation […]
Life isn’t fair. Whiskey prices are at an all-time high. Women are branded as men. Elton John can’t adopt and Eskom bosses get disgusting bonuses. That’s just the way it is. We have to accept it. What we shouldn’t have to accept, however, is the fact that not a single Proteas name made it onto […]
Victory, we all know, is sweet at the best of times. Victory against the Wallabies, on the other hand, is similar to three courses of dessert followed by…you guessed it, dessert. Perhaps the only thing better than beating the Aussies at rugby is beating them at cricket, and after two wins against the All Blacks, […]
You’ll recall the article and video I gave you a few days ago, of Formula 1 racing driver, Felipe Massa’s accident after being hit in the head by a flying car part (here ). He nearly died but is injured and unable to continue racing in the foreseeable future. That’s all very well, but the […]
Did you hear about Formula 1 racing driver, Felipe Massa‘s vibe during qualifying for this week’s Hungary F1 Grand Prix? Ja, well, it happened. And if you haven’t heard about it, then I can promise you it is going to come up in conversation this week. Then you can stun your friends and tell them […]
With one race left in this year’s F1 championship, and the chance to watch Lewis Hamilton blow it in the very last race, I thought a little F1 post was due. Don’t get me wrong, I am genuinely a big fan of Hamilton’s. It’s more to do with the spectacle of watching the poms deal […]
