"Looking back now, I think that maybe, every now and again, I should have braked a little earlier." -- Ari Vatenan "There's a problem with his wheels" -- someone in the booth "Yes, they're not going round fast enough" -- Martin Haven [not a driver, I know, don't write in]

Nigel Mansell once said 'Peter Warr said that I'd never win a race while he had a hole in his arse. He must be very constipated'

Jack Brabham once said 'I'll die without an enemy in the world. Because I'll outlive the bastards'

Is watching the recording of Singapore FP1+2 worthwhile?

Whenever I see hydrogen Prototype (as in ACO rules news) I very much read it to myself in the James May Dacia Voice

☠️ Two cars, one haunted mission. Skeleton Rexy and Skeleton Spike make their chilling debut at #PetitLeMans, October 8-11. Be there for the Autograph Extravaganza on October 10 at 1:00 PM, and don’t forget your costume! 🎃

I wish I could remember things because so many comments have made me laugh.

Help a girl out. Drop your favorite, funny, questionable or memorable quotes from various motorsports drivers below.

We need more dreamers like JR Really excellent piece, love how he brings his expertise to thinking about the future of the sport

#TMRwatch25 | Race 99; Porsche Sprint Challenge GB | 2024 Donington GP R2 | Donington Park GP; Good to see more cars. Really like this series, they can run close together, battles all through the field across 4 classes.

#TMRwatch25 | Race 98; Porsche Carrera Cup GP | 2024 Donington GP R1 | Donington Park GP; Rees held off 5 cars but got a track limits penalty down to 6th which seemed a tad harsh. All eyes on Gamble up from 22nd to 9th! Good fun in midfield too.

#TMRwatch25 | Race 97; #BTCC | 2024 Donington GP R1 | Donington Park GP; How not to officiate: Put tyre stack on the chicane, car hits stack breaks suspension, tow it thru trap to bury front end in gravel, don't sweep track, put stack back, restart, car almost hits stack, other car loses podium

Apparently I've only seen 3 races this month, and during all the golf at the weekend I felt glad to have the breather. I have 1 IndyCar race left. But I'm in the mood for touring cars so I'm doing Donington GP '24.

This Ryder Cup singles round is dynamite. USA so far behind but they're still making it tense.

Now I’m learning about the host MC leading a chant of ‘fuck you Rory’ ahead of today’s play. And comments from the crowd. Unacceptable. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...

Crikey. Now we're up in every game in the afternoon session. How often does the visiting team do this, can't be often right?

I missed the rugby. I was walking around Lyme Regis in an attempt to cure a bad mental health day. Happy to see England won! Now home watching the Ryder Cup.

For anyone wondering, Verstappen pitted at the end of his stint 62 seconds ahead of his nearest challenger.

Just because Verstappen is out of the car, I don't think anyone will let that Lulham into a false sense of security.

I don’t advocate for violence. Peace and love. Except at golf tournaments there should be snipers ready and waiting for anyone who shouts ‘get in the hole’.

Europe ahead in the US on day one is definitely a situation to enjoy.

Jason Plato speaking out about mental health is so important. Never would suspect someone with his outward confidence would be afflicted by this terrible thing, I'm so glad he's doing well. As discussed by @lookingspiffy.bsky.social on Sunday, video is now online. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9uP...

A big loss to the BTCC but it'll be a credit to the series if he shows well elsewhere.

Stellar Roster is unbelievably quick, but pretty sure she'll be upgraded to Silver next year

For the #f1 #AzerbaijanGP I made lavangi chicken, mainly because I am really bad at plov. But it's a REVELATION is a stuffing made of onion, walnuts, prunes and breadcrumbs. As is smearing pomegranate molasses under and over the skin. Mmmmmm. Recommended. #foodsky #amcooking #baku

Modern FIA driver rating conventions Bronze: Has never seen a race car before Silver: I know they’re a high level pro but I just can’t prove it Gold: I know they’re a high level pro but I don’t think they’re very good Platinum: It would be a bad look if we let this guy run LMP3

#IMSA restart views from the podium:

time to 🔊crank it up🔊 (to the extent a phone mic will allow)

I Drove An Aston Martin My sister gave me a voucher for Christmas to drive a classic car. A choice between two. But I kept forgetting about it because, well it's been quite the difficult time since. But I remembered and finally got around to booking it, at what turned out to be the last…

Hope they put this on YouTube as they do for many features. Otherwise I look forward to seeing this when I catch up.

The two dovetail, in fact: Plato's piece stirring pundit discussion about how being a racing driver can mean it consumes your whole life to your detriment, and Nic being clear that he has a life outside of motorsport: "you're worth more than your results" 👏 #BTCC

Honestly fantastic features in today's #BTCC coverage, from Plato's honesty about his struggles to the realities of what Nic Hamilton goes through physically to go racing

Verstappen wins. Russell the only one to clear the traffic, all while sick? Sainz drove brilliantly for 3rd and Williams didn't screw it up. :) Antonelli, Lawson, Tsunoda, Norris, Hamilton, Leclerc, Hadjar.

This race has come alive again. Tsunoda desperate to clear Lawson to avoid being taken by Norris. Norris trying to get them both as Hamilton catches all of them.

Hamilton is flying. Ahead of Leclerc now.

I keep flip flopping over whether I am fan of Russell. He comes across a bit arrogant. But I like when he does well.

They seriously put the pit battle Russell vs Sainz in a tiny picture in picture window hey

Needed a quicker out lap Yuki

Lando was so quick on that pit entry. Wow. Then lost 2 seconds on the stop.

Albon is doing a lot of overtaking but he's going to end up behind a lot of these guys with that penalty

You can tell this is a tyre management race when a guy in a Haas in 18th sets the fastest lap.

Piastri's 5 second penalty for the jump start won't be converted into a grid drop. Penalty guidelines: "In cases where there is a single 5s penalty which a driver is unable to serve due to retirement, the stewards will not convert that into a grid penalty for a subsequent race."

Sainz still running strategy from the car, the Ferrari experience really matures you

Sainz pitting and still is 6th and ahead of Antonelli. I was expecting Antonelli to undercut him. Good effort.

It looks much more likely to rain at my house than at Baku.

Antonelli was so much quicker on DRS on the main straight it's a wonder he didn't manage that before

He’s just like me fr

Curious stop for Albon to go to hards now. They can go to the end, and he would've been stuck in that DRS train, so if it stays dry he can close up and they'd all pit behind him. But if it rains he's given up a load of time.

Maybe Russell's not so sick or the adrenaline is going, he's giving it a go.

This is almost perfectly poised. Sainz is running away because Lawson is acting as a block, and the No.2 Merc and RBR drivers can't get past him. Russell is sick and just hanging on. Leclerc, Norris, Hamilton closing back up to them.
