Coulthard catches golf ball in car going at 180mph

It's like something Top Gear would come up with

Good find. Very cool, and amazing car - had an SLS pass me on the M4 just by Oxford. Could watch that car all day.

its a 24hour race you cant expect over taking every lap.... and the tyres dont go off at 5minutes so theres not really any artifical overtaking.

Come off it

The whole of the media world is commenting on the fact that Audis domination of Le mans is getting boring.

I've heard similar comments on the Drive Networks live blog of the race, read similar comments from the pistonheads columnists etc..

It might not have gone all Audis way this year had the toyotas managed to stay on track. But they didn't so in the end the audi 1-2-3 was inevitable.

Knowing Bernie, he would probably want to take the track through the middle of the swimming pool arena as well.

It would be great fun. Like something out of the wacky races

as a piece of fanboyism, this article makes some of the stuff said on here look tame:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/andrewbenson/2012/06/alonso.html

he is generally regarded within F1 as the finest driver in the world

*spits out drink* by whom ?

 

[tummelv]

Have you ever read those behind the scenes interviews of drivers on the formula 1 website? The majority of drivers, when asked who would be the one driver they would have in their team if they were a team principal, have said Alonso. Says it all really.

 

[Skeeter]

Yeah, Alonso usually tops most of the polls from inside the paddock.

I must say that between 2007 and 2011 I totally didn't get it. But this year he has outshon everyone.

*spits out drink* by whom ?

By most of the drivers, critics, generally pretty much everyone associated with the sport.

 

[Fr0dders]

the finest driver in the world is pushing things a bit though surely ?

If they'd said one of the best drivers on the grid, i'd not have an argument.

 

[Skeeter]

Its working within the environment that F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport.

Saw this seller on ebay, no doubt pushing every copyright going, still he has decent feedback I just wish I was brave enough to lob money at Argentina
