Re: cool racing videos
I saw this quick clip on the WRC coverage, it's a really good explanation from Latvala of the studded winter tyres that they use at Rally Sweden:
And it also explains why first car on the road Seb Ogier lost over 2 minutes on the first day as road sweeper in the heavy snow.

Re: cool racing videos
Caught the end of this yesterday afternoon so recorded the replay last night and just finished watching it. I am not a dedicated follower of Supercross though I do find myself enjoying it a ton - I love how they just race - no pitstop strategies, no parity debates, no safety cars - just drop the gate and go.
This was the first time I had watched a race in conditions such as these though - was nuts but hugely entertaining in a train wreck kind of way. The two guys who won the mains were just supreme.

The Nürburgring Nordschleife is one of the most famous circuits on the planet and has been the definitive test for cars and drivers for many years.
As far as racing circuits go, there is nothing quite like the Nürburgring and so it can be quite difficult to prepare properly, we hope this guide will help. The track is 13-miles in length, with over one hundred corners sweeping through Germany’s Eifel mountains.
The “Green Hell” is fast and flowing, but drivers must proceed with caution as the blind crests and little run-off can easily catch even the most experienced out.
Adam Christo is a British racing driver who has had over 30 career wins and 78 podiums. His experience at the Nordschleife is impressive with 8 VLN wins and a Nürburgring 24h win in 2016 with the Mercedes AMG team, including fastest lap.
Scott Mansell is Driver 61’s founder and professional coach, best known from the Driver’s University series.
