Modern Formula 1 Tracks boring??

If your into your formula one then you will know that the "buzz" of the sport is gone, (well... gone is such a powerfull word, perhaps shrunk) , are these modern tracks a factor?

Its no secret that the new tracks such as india, abu dhabi and korea were rather boring to watch, F1 is trying to spread and there is nothing wrong with that but this is a lenthy proccess, with the addition of the USA GP thats 4 new tracks.

The drivers seem to love the tracks, I have watched millions of videos and played endless hours of video games (as close as i can get) and the tracks are good fun but i cant help but think why not bring back the classics? why not just improve the safety of the tracks and re-introduce them.

It seems like a cheaper option in comparison to an entirely new track. F1 does occasionally need a new track to spice the season up but 4 is too many.
I leave you now with M Shumachers 2006 lap of imola (a track i am too young too know the glory of but abselutely love watching races there. ) i hope you watch it and admire how the track isnt flat, but goes up and down and theres the odd camber, and as the car drives past the grand stands just take a quick look at how packed it is.

Sporting Personalities (The "dip")

Whilst this blog is made to share my jurney of motorsport, along the way i will share some of my opinion on sport. mainly on motorsport and F1 but these can vary to all sports.

I like to think I watch a lot of sport from football to Formula 1 to Karting, and I have noticed a very broad variety in sports personalities. Many professional athletes are commonly judged on how they react to certain scenarios.

Formula 1 shows my point here as drivers go on to win their first championship, you often see drivers slipping under the radar mid-season, for example Jenson Button in 2009 made a records matching start to the season winning six of seven raced, a record only achieve before by Michael Schumacher and someone else (dunno who).

However after that, Jenson only managed to average 6^th throughout the rest of the season, (though double diffusers may have had something to do with it) Jenson claimed he wasn’t happy with how unpredictable the cars handling had become. But commentators and analyst seemed to think Jenson wasn’t coping with the stress of leading the championship too well. Though he did comeback with an amazing storm through the grid at Brazil to take the championship, it’s this mid-season dip in performance I wish to talk about.....

I bought a kart!!!

I recently made a trip 'round to Bolton to buy a kart, ill keep this post short and sweet and ill give details when i post pictures and stuffs, the kart belonged to current EasyKart Junior drive Will Jeavons,

As you eagle eyed readers may have guessed , i bought an EasyKart,

For those who don't know, EasyKart is a project between popular Italian chassis manufacturers Birel and the American engine manufacturer IAME, they tried to make a series that is a step up from arrive and drive karting but keep the main basic principals, as everything is provided by EasyKart, and due to this costs have been kept relatively low.
