Schuey is a great driver and all, but I still consider Ayrton Senna the best there ever was... I still shake my head in amazement when I think about how he demoralized everyone on that wet track in Donington in 1993. One of the greatest F1 drives ever.

for me schumacher has taken it to another level. senna was great but he did publicly criticise his teams sometimes. michael took professionalism to another level. i actually consider alain prost a greater driver than senna. he could've been world champion 5 or 6 times.

that drive at donington was however a classic. similar to michael's at monza last year.

in 2003 i went to suzuka twice. once for the moto gp and once for the f1. the moto gp is a sad memory for me as my favourite rider, kato daijiro (see my avatar), crashed and never recovered.

i still think suzuka is one of the great circuits though.

[SubaruWRX]

suzuka is nice.. but I would neve go just because of a race.. I would have to be in Japan before that.

Not one of the saner things to do at that speed, ne?


Of course, I've seen women applying makeup (farding) while driving 65+ on the freeways around here.....

[SubaruWRX]
