I think it was about 4 years ago

Japan 2004 I think.

Yep thats the one. Quali was about 10:00 and the race was normal time.

I prefer sleep so I don't think I'll be pulling an all-nighter for this one.

Hamilton has a 5 place penalty as they've had to change his gearbox now

Cat woke me up so though I'd check to see if the grand prix was on. Turned the telly on and it was about 1 sec before the race began.

Dramatic start!

[Paulos G]

Wasn't it just?!

Kobayashi deserves to win some sort of award for near single handedly keeping F1 interesting

When the TV coverage switched to BBC Radio's commentary there was a quick Leeroy Jenkins reference to Kobayashi passing Heidfeld.

Finale of the BTCC today on ITV4, watch it or miss out!

That was amazing. They really need the 5live commentary on TV by default.

They need to rename the hairpin in his honour.

Well done to Jason Plato for just winning the 2010 BTCC at Brands Hatch. Two straight wins - doesn't get much better than that. He's also equalled the most career wins of any BTCC driver and there's still one race left to go.

[vanpeebles]

A champions performance for sure.

Loved the MotoGP this morning. Lorenzo's celebration was great. Is he a gamer?

Good race at Suzuka too. It's between Suzuka and Interlagos for my second fave F1 circuit after Spa.

Well done to Jason Potato too, I can't stand Matt Neal anymore. He's the dirtiest driver in BTCC by a mile. Plato does the odd cheeky tap but Neal just bloody rams people off the road every race. To think I used to like him when he was an independent. Will be interesting to see what the new regs cars are like next year.

Forgot to write last week about Seb Loeb's great performance in the WRC. Champion yet again. Thought the French rally was a good venue. Also looking forward to the new cars there too. The Fiesta looks sexeh! DS3 looks pretty good too.
