Back to the Americas...

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've had a lot of stuff to do. Seriously, I haven't had a day to where I can just relax until ... basically now, and qualifying is just concluded here in Canada. I've had a lot of contract stuff to work through... that stuff is annoying and too time-consuming.

But yeah, I have a few other things in the works. I can't tell anyone what they are yet!... You'll all find out! ^_^

But a quick recap of the last few races...

Russia had rain, and I love the rain. Me and Matti Taube could really hammer the crap out of the brakes, but I noticed there were a few cars that had NO business being on the grid. The 75 and 09 cars were way off the pace. They were five seconds off of my pace and they were racing very aggressively. The guy in the 75 car is apparently a Russian rally star, but he has no business on asphalt. Don't know who the 09 car was, don't care, but if I see him again, then he'll wind up in the dirt post haste.

Spa was a lot of fun, me and Jules got to fight it out for the lead with Leonid and Arto, and I almost got a traffic ticket. There really isn't much to say about Belgium on the track other than it was a blast. I think the win did a lot for Jules's confidence level. She's moving to a team that's basically going to be at the back of the grid, so I think she really needed to win in order to help her out but to also shut up the Russian media. Apparently they're a bit jingoistic and expect a lot from her.

I also apparently made everyone piss their pants when I pointed out the bleedingly obvious about the American race stewards. Fine. OFFICIALS. -_-

But all that I said is pretty true, and it annoys me because Benny Dwyer used to say those kinds of things back in the day and it was considered cool. I think the reactions I've gotten sort of proved my point really...

Then Italy, which was... interesting. Everyone thought they had enough fuel if there would be one yellow flag towards the end -- which never happened until the last lap. Other then that there's better tracks in Italy to visit, but it's probably the best oval in Europe that I know of.

But yeah, I'm back with VRT in the Master Cup cars. Woo! Time to go get Volpi's first championship in its first year! At least, I'm hoping so, but this big superspeedway in Canada is a piece of crap. ARLA is better here, because it's just what ARLA needs, something big, flashy, and showy. However, it has no substance. No character. Kind of like Daytona, which also has no character...

Talladega has character, I normally like racing at such high speeds because it's a real thrill. I love to push the limits and go beyond them, and because there's a very real chance that once I get into that car, I won't get back out! I like to scare myself when I'm driving, because I figure that if you haven't scared yourself, then you haven't gone fast enough.

Time to go see the press... yay press releases... -_-;

Bye for now!
