MSport Talk: Frank Motorsport Opinions & Debate

2015 marked the 25 anniversary of the Silverstone Classic and, for the first time I spent the Saturday and Sunday at the event, for varying reasons, earlier in the year, at the media day we were informed that: "One day is not enough" and, well yes that is correct, the three day festival of "Rockin' and Racin'" really needs at least 2 days for one to fully appreciate all of the sidelines to the racing going on, on track. I spent the Saturday (fortunately as the weather his year was particularly grotty on the Friday and Sunday) taking in a number of the sidelines previously mentioned  here  when I previewed the event a month or so back.  So, now we shall try and decide what the Silverstone Classic really is, is it a historic race meeting? Or, is it a family friendly event for the car mad with the added bonus of historic racing as a sideline? Lets see if we can decide. Saturday: Saturday had always been marked down as an exploratory day for me to allow me

Motorsport can be such a cruel mistress, 9 months after the horrendous accident at Suzuka, Jules Bianchi succumbed to his injuries. The world of motorsport quite rightly paid tribute to a driver who would have gone on to achieve so much more at the top level of world motorsports. There is nothing else left to add that hasn't already been said by others who knew and raced with him during his oh so short career so lets just remember him this way, hustling a uncompetitive Marussia around Monte Carlo and picking up a fantastic 9th place. Rest in Peace Jules #JB17
