Nothing to do with MINI's, but, just a bit excited because the World Superbike season starts this weekend!

Its on BBC and Eurosport in the UK.

At last. Proper motorsport. Real racing and overtaking. Beats that F1 procession any day.
(It's more exciting to watch the M25 motorway than watch F1 these days!)

TOCA is good but a bit of sparkle went from it for me when they stopped the "super" touring cars like the Ford Mondeo's.

I wen't to the last round they were in at Silverstone (the night race!) Now that was impressive stuff!

(I was a bit biased towards the Mondeo's then because I owned a Mondeo ST24 V6 at the time).

World rallying's good as well.

Mind you, nothing will compare to our MINI2 racers who are in the John Cooper Challenge!! (No pressure lads! But were counting on you!!)

Don't even mention TOCA in the same breath as WSB. It's so unbelievably dull. More like a precession than a race, ok a couple of them get a little over enthusiastic, but the same cars win week after week, all coming over the finish line in manufacturer order.

Try watching WSB and standing by your earlier comment!

Some cars are cool. Like the Mini, the Evo 7 and the WRX STi. but bikes rock a fat one. Hey R1?

PS Just call me RSV...
