Race Of Champions 2010

Completely forgot about it this year...

It's on MotorsTV NOW! Nations cup today, race of champions tomorrow.

So far - Team England is winning.

*and Andy Priaulx has broken a Porsche GT3 - went over a kerb and ruined a radiator and poured coolant over the track, but still won.*

Well, one of the KTM's is now very broken.

Clouted the concrete bridge on the rear, looks like the wheel and suspension is trashed.

It is available on Freecaster again this year, but you have to pay for it this time.

Plato and Priaulx have beaten Loeb and Prost in the nations cup! Team GB through to the final.

Either against Benaluxe or Germany...

Kenai · 27 Nov 2010 at 20:27

I'm not going to pay for something that has 'free' in it's name, they can get bent

arknor · 27 Nov 2010 at 20:29

*cough*

Thats in the first post.

Anyway - Bumfodder!

Lost 2:1 to Germany in the final. Germany have now won the nations cup 4 years in a row. Makes it worse that it's in Germany this year - would have loved to hear the silence in the stadium.

That did happen when Vettel lost to an American.

Woah Hekkis just totaled an Audi and half the advertising boards before smashing into the concrete on the outside of the track! Biggest crash I've ever seen in one of these events.

Had his missus in the car as passenger as well

NightSt@lk3r · 28 Nov 2010 at 12:18

I was expecting some damaged cars later in the day but not a totaled car in the first race.

Memphis · 28 Nov 2010 at 12:19

Was definitely a biggy, and as you say, very early.

The Audi's rear suspension seemed to cave quite easily.

Tweet from Heiki:

It's Heikki again sorry to inform kata is injured back pain as a result of a shunt... http://plixi.com/p/59754918

Turns out it was a combination of the rear suspension and a stuck throttle.

Congrats to Felipe Albuquerque - taking the Champion of Champions.

Big surprise that, beating both Vettel and Loeb. Well done to the guy though.

Pretty impressive crash that from Heikki, gutted I missed this, it's usually in mid December :/
