'cept it won't be a night race as they whole track will be floodlit. That's not racing at night, it's racing in an artificial day...

240mph down a public road with a pair of candle-like headlights with a shotblasted windscreen after racing for 8 hours already... That's night racing 8)

Interesting that the new Valencia one is going to be called European GP... That's what the German one is called IIRC... due to some legal issues about calling it the German GP I'm sure
I have no signature.

Not really, for the past few years we've had the German at Hockenheim and Euro at Nurburgring. Guess the marketing dept didn't want to change it to the German...

Just reading that Ron Dennis openly and honestly told the FIA about the Alonso emails.............a very expensive confession.

Alonso will be looking for a drive elsewhere :shock:
