car video news of Robert Kubica - Polish Formula 1 driver - who crashed out of Ronde di Andora Rally, this morning in Italy. as most of you remember Kubica miraculously survived horrific F1 crash in Montreal in 07
F1 Renault race driver Robert Kubica has been diagnosed with multiple fractures to his right arm, leg and hand after suffering a high-speed accident on Sunday while competing.
Kubica, a regular in rallying events alongside his F1 career, was airlifted from the scene of the crash and has been undergoing surgery at the Santa Corona Hospital in Pietra Ligure. His co-driver Jakub Gerber was unhurt.
It means Kubica will be forced to miss this week’s Formula One test session at Jerez in Spain, and also puts him in doubt for the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix next month. Top of the list to stand in for the Pole will be Bruno Senna, who raced for HRT last season and was announced as a Renault third driver earlier this week.
most insane car video i have ever seen. _drifting_ 1000cc motocycle … _while_ touching the ground!
Regardless if “drifting is/isn’t a form of motorsports” - it’s fun to watch a car being piloted on full opposite lock. But motorcycle???Icon Motorsports rider Nick Brocha answers with a fat sideways-smoking yes!
Icon may be known for providing gear for maniacs fans of two-wheeled transportation, but they also sponsor a team of skilled bikers. Brocha is one of those riders and he pits his modded Kawasaki ZX10 against Jim Guthrie and his Corvette-powered Mazda RX-7 drift machine. Add in some cameras (one strapped to an R/C car) and a prime location.

Ayrton Senna was probably the best Formula 1 driver of this century. Top Gear put together this great Tribute in honor of this great race driver.
Also, keep an eye on an upcoming documentary, simply named “Senna”, which was released in Japan and is suppose to come in the US on the 15th of January. (nope, not out on torrents yet, the one named “senna” is an old one from 98)
