Hi Anthony - great to see you back here.
Yes, can't believe it has been a year since we discussed the cars! I have to admit that my viewing was hampered a lot by not having Foxtel. I head over to my Dad's place (my old house) whenever there is a big race - Indy 500, Daytona, Bathurst etc, but for the most part I'm relying on what I can see on FTA and the internet.
How about JJ winning the Nascar championship? He seemed the most unlikely winner of that race even with 15 laps to go, but all the luck went with him. Phenomenal record 7 championships. They even changed the chase format a few years ago to even the field and he still won.
Dan is terrific - he got more out of that car than he should have, but Verstappen looked terrific too went he wasn't too hot headed. He might be quicker than Dan as well, but he needs to settle down a little (but then again, Vettel was crazy when he was first in F1 driving for Torro Rosso, but look how well he went in the end).
V8s still dominated by the cheats at Red Bull
- and next year they'll have the formal factory money too...grrr... But Penske-DJR really improved and next year with Scotty should be great to watch.
I loved the Indy 500 this year with the rookie Alex Rossi winning - probably my favourite race of the year, but it was the only Indycar race I saw, so I don't really know what teams are in form for 2017.
Not long until the racing kicks off again - Daytona 500 is just 6 or 7 weeks away
