Famous and cool racemoments
« on: 22-Aug-2010, 02:32:53 »
Was watching vids and vids over again so thought that we could all share our favourite moments.

Ill start off with one of my favs. Last three laps of the last race in 1992 BTCC and there were still 3 drivers who were in for the Championship.  BTCC Silverstone Finale 1992 - last three laps! (3:55)

Point it. Punch it.

If your mechanic doesn't have a story about crossing plug wires, he either hasn't been a mechanic for very long, or lies out his ass

One of my favorite battles of all time and it only took place a few years ago; Imola 2002 Superbike race. The final race of the year and it was down to Colin Edwards vs. Troy Bayliss and whoever won finished ahead of the other at this final event!  Brilliant racing, and although I am a big Bayliss fan, it was Edwards' finest hour!

And one of the greastest showcases of MX Battle, the 2007 AMA Budds Creek National race. This is just pure strategy and battle between three phenominal riders! The riders' line selections really highlights the creativity of MX and these guys arent even fighting for the lead! I guess I love this clip so much because it reminds me of some of the battles I had when I raced, some of the most memorable were not even for a podium or even placing (top ten) position! All it takes is coming across someone else equal to you in fitness and speed on that one day, first place, or twentieth place, it doesnt really matter!

not the best quality vid (due to the FIA being so anal about putting recorded material on youtube), and it has some pretty annoying music at the beginning and the end, but here's my favourite F1 moment of the last decade; Hamilton vs Raikkonen at Spa 2008, in the rain on dry-weather tyres. Seeing this again just pisses me off even more regarding the decision of the stewards to penalize Hamilton for cutting the chicane, as he obviously gained nothing from it :bad: but the on-track action was unbelievable nonetheless :good:
