Motorsport

A New Dawn ….Renault Lead the way!!

All I can say is that it’s about time….

Finally Formula One has become interesting, after six years of Ferrari dominance it’s all gone horrible for the Italians and their German legend Michael Schumacher.

Renault has won the last three grand prix’s and they are looking good, all thanks to their new 2005 car and the Spanish driver Fernando Alonso.

The Ferrari team has made the clanger by delaying the launch of their new 2005 car at the beginning of the season, all the other teams including Renault started the new season with new models(like the one above) and they have left the Ferraris behind.

In Moscow however, this is home to the well known but indestructible Lada.


(The 2005 Lada Samara - every coppas's dream machine over here)

Every day Moscow has its on version of a grand prix around the “Garden Ring” circuit, which is a ring road a bit like the M25 round London but its around inner Moscow. There are thousands of entrants every day and never a winner, some retiring with engine trouble and some in collisions due to brake failure.(its likely they had no brakes to fail)
But from a spectators point of view its more exciting than watching your typical grand prix, because there are no rules and normally you are riding in one of these things..!!



So if you ever get to Moscow flag a Lada, get in and enjoy the ride of your life..!
