Monaco GP

Ok, so this week-end the most glamorous, the most exciting race of the F1 circuit will take place. Of course I'm talking of the Monaco Grand Prix.
I drove there (on the street where the track is laid out) in the past and I'm amazed at the speed these drivers reach. See this interactive map for a complete description of the track.

Last year. Trulli won the only victory of the season for Renault. This year I would not be surprised to see Renault claiming its fifth (yes five!) victory of the season (4 out of 6 so far !). But of course it all depends on the qualification and the starting grid. More than any other race, Monaco is the one you want to be on the front row.

Unfortunately, if you live in the US (at least on the West coast) the only way for you to watch the races is to susbcribe to SPEED channel (available on Dish network and probably elsewhere). Although this year CBS did broadcast some races (which I wish they were not - they are soooo bad!).

great post; I don't know you, but I already like your thinking. actually, once I moved to a new place, because my old place doesn't have speed channel. btw, both Liberty Alliance and MS metasystem and infocard got it wrong. I thnk, the problem is most people go where there's plenty of light to look for the solution, instead they should take a flash light and look in the dark spot where the solution actually exists. I've been researching, this for some time now, and I believe I am going in the right direction, just need more work to get the spec/proctol completed and get some VC funding.... hopefully!
