Phenomenal season end in the Formula 3 championship, where Leonardo Fornaroli took the title with the most important overtake of his life in the very last turn of the very last lap of the season at Monza :hyper: 

 

Meguetounif won the race, ahead of Gabriele Mini and Fornaroli. Fornaroli entered the last turn in 4th, but overtook Christian Mansell, and that way got enough points to stay a tiny bit ahead of Mini.

Stills one place in Sauber for next season... lets see whats going to happen, this guy is the best brazilian prospect in years.

 

It was a great drive, but to be entirely fair about the 'from last place to the win' thing: that was also definitely part luck :d The ones in the top had made their stop, then a safety car appeared and Bortoleto and several others could get a 'free' stop (including Verschoor, who got a 3rd place that way) :p

 

But in general: yeah, Bortoleto definitely should be on the radar for some team...

Don't know if there is a bigger fall from relevancy (at least in this century) than the demise of the WTCC ->WTCR -> TCR or whatever it's called now series. :d Eurosport is showing highlights from the opening round in Mexico (with a 10 day delay i might add :d) and there are literally only 400-500 people there.

 

In Mexico nonetheless, a place where they worship motorsports. If they didn't show the start line stand you would think the only people there were the organizers, some media and the teams and their friends. For race 3 now there are a bit more fans, but races 1 & 2 were like a ghost track.

 

Why Hyundai, Volvo and Honda continue to spend money on this is beyond me.

Much as I agree with this wholeheartedly, one remark out of fairness on the broadcast: instead of on some channel, TCR TV actually broadcasts the races live (and of course on-demand) on YouTube, the single best way for basically any sport to stream their events :p 

 

But besides that, yeah...it's unbelievable. ETCC was awesome, then it became WTCC and that was still cool with lots of hard racing. Now it's mostly just a few riders that make you think "why are you not going for something more relevant, you have talent?!" plus a huge bunch of different locals every round.

Running as support for NASCAR this weekend? 

Edit / No, that's just the Mexican national series

15 minutes left in Le Mans 24 hours and could be a huge day for Poland :whistle:

And it is! Despite Ferrari very, very clearly not wanting the #83 to do it, they managed to take the win, first Polish and first Chinese overall Le Mans winners :bowdown:

    • Ben Hebert: "... We have a hockey mentality on our curling team, we’re not going to be bullied and pushed over by a bunch of Swedish guys out there that are getting their a**es handed to them." “We didn’t have any of that, we finished at the top of the podium with the gold and they finished dead last, so I think that says a lot.” Hebert is long known in curling media circles for not being afraid to speak his mind, and he didn’t let up in his ire when it came to the genesis of the entire situation -- Eriksson. “That snake in the grass,” Hebert said. “The stuff he tried to pull at the Olympics is not very Olympia of him… I lost a lot of respect for him with the stuff he tried to pull. He’s won the Olympics, they’ve won Grand Slams, they’ve won World Championships, and when they were at the high of their peak, you never saw that stuff from him. These last two or three years, they’ve been on a brutal stretch and pretty irrelevant in the curling world, haven’t won anything, they’re out of the Grand Slams, dead last in the Olympics puts a stamp on that.."
