Don't hold back on the profanity!
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

Downside to the history csl was we didnt' write-up with blogs/computers back then and paperwork was never a strong point and unless you are American and/or pro nobody else is going to keep records ....... and my memories shot
THe ones remembered are the wins but even they are second in memories to the crashes

Maybe we should have a random crashes thread then?
Life's too short to drive bad cars.

Too easy.
Thought maybe automotive idiot stories might be the place, but a thread of it's own seems right considering the circumstances.

"hottest contested" ? Hardly given the Audi/Peugeot battle
Besides Magnussen spearing a Porsche isn't sportsmanlike conduct !!
Seriously though, it was good wins on douible anniversary dates. Stuff legends are written of
But given the relative team budgets not too surprising
That and the US tax dollars paying for the racing efforts
Must put Glenn Beck in a dilemma. On the one hand a U-S-A win, on the other Obama dollars at work

Hottest as in there are multiple contenders capable of winning....from different cars....
Audi vs Peugeot is titanic in itself, but would be nicer having more....
But not at the expense of dumbing them down to the others' level.
