    What year? I might be keen. :D

    Especially if you're interested in a custom motorbike that I bought a few years ago when I clearly had more money than sense. :(

    (Although, in hindsight, I've always had more money than sense, even when I've been skint.)

    I once owned a magazine and on occasions I would write an article, on a wide variety of topics.
    One article, I started with that expression 'Yeehaw!', it was the start of the sailing season. :1980_boogie_down:

    that it's with RWR and not trackhouse is interesting as well. Trackhouse had Kimi driving for them in a 3rd car at Watkins Glen last year, and announced they'd run a 3rd car at a few road courses for other big names of racing in 2023 (hoping for Alonso at some point). Kimi has signed up for Cota in a couple of weeks, so Nascar could have 2 former f1 champions on the same grid.

    Piquet Fined


    Nelson Piquet fined for racist and homophobic comments about Lewis Hamilton
    Last updated on 6 hours ago6 hours ago.From the section Formula 1

    Piquet won the world title in 1981, 1983 and 1987
    Three-time Formula 1 world champion Nelson Piquet has been ordered to pay five million Brazilian Reals (£780,000) for making racist and homophobic comments about Lewis Hamilton.

    The 70-year-old Brazilian used a racially offensive term in referring to Hamilton in an interview in 2021.

    Hamilton called for "archaic mindsets" to change after the footage surfaced.

    Piquet later apologised for his "ill-thought-out" racially abusive remark about the British Mercedes driver.

    Formula 1, Hamilton's Mercedes team and world motorsport governing body the FIA condemned Piquet's comments where he discussed the accident between Hamilton and Red Bull driver Max Verstappen, who is the partner of Piquet's daughter, on the first lap of the 2021 British Grand Prix.

    Piquet said he "made no defence" of the remarks, but added the term he used "is one that has widely and historically been used colloquially in Brazilian Portuguese as a synonym for 'guy' or 'person' and was never intended to offend".

    In another interview that surfaced later, Piquet used racist and homophobic language when describing how Hamilton missed out on the 2016 championship to Nico Rosberg.

    Seven-time world champion Hamilton is the sport's only black driver.

    The charges against Piquet were brought by four human rights groups, including Brazil's National LGBT+ Alliance, which wanted Piquet to pay 10 million Brazilian Reals for alleged moral damages.

    A Brazilian court ruled on Friday he must pay five million Brazilian Reals ($953,000), with Judge Pedro Matos de Arrudo saying the amount of compensation was given "so that, as a society, we can someday be free from the pernicious acts that are racism and homophobia".

    I watched some of the race. Jenson seems to have achieved a reasonable result for a first time out, 18th, vs Kimi 29th.

    Just been watching Daniel in the RB7 going across the Australian outback on You Tube. He makes some pit stops at Broken Hill and also the Mount Panorama race track in Bathurst NSW..

    It`s on F1 car v outback Daniel Ricciardo`s Great Aussie road trip. It`s no way to treat an F1 RB7 race car. The dust is increadable !!!
