we got 2 street tracks this season! it's gonna be sooo pimp!

and the race in singapore is gonna be a night race yO! that's what i heard!

[Mr. Pink]

yep, yep, singapore will be a night race.

[Phistar]

i noticed that we're the only two kool cats who actually watch this sport

[Phistar]

blahhhs! another week til another race!

i wish there was a race every week and that the season was longer!

[Mr. Pink]

Shit, these guys are running budgets in the hundreds of millions as it is, any more and no one could afford it. I'm telling you, take up watching ALMS, MotoGP, Speed TC/GT and WSBK, and you'll rarely ever have a dull weekend. And yeah, its kinda sad that no one else here appreciates the pinnacle of automobile racing.

[Phistar]

haha! i know about their budget, i was just messing around... i'll pitch in a few bucks?

i catch some of the other races sometimes... it's pretty dope

[Mr. Pink]

I spend most of my spring/summer sundays watching racing. I work weekends at a bar, so i'm not home until 3:30am at the earliest on sunday mornings. DVR all the races except ASSCAR and watch them commercial free when i get up.

fricking ferrari owned the last 4 races

fucking honda better step it up next season

[Mr. Pink]

Why did you put sato and davidson in there? Super Aguri folded.

[Phistar]

haha! i just copied and pasted from the F1 site... didn't really pay attention to it til i posted the stats

[Mr. Pink]

And you might as well leave out Piquet, I doubt he'll be around too much longer. Supposedly Sato may replace him.

[Phistar]

what the fudge? really jay? sato's going to renault?

damn it... fill me in on these things

haha! or i just need to pay more close attention?

[Mr. Pink]

piquet is all but gone, and the two known candidates for his seat are sato and grosjean from gp2. Sato also has a shot at barichellos factory Honda seat.

[Phistar]

oh crap, that Grosjean guy has potential to be competitor in F1?

so sato might again be button's partner ehhh?
