And so to Australia
The last few days have been very busy, with final preparations before the flight out to Australia this evening. I did take a few hours off to go to watch the England-France rugby international at the Stade de France, which gave me a look at another sport, from the perspective of a spectator. It was [...]

Is the new Koenigsegg Agera R the fastest car in the world?
 |
267 mph.
Ever since the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport hit the road, the title of fastest car in the world went with it. But now it appears that a certain Swedish supercar may have finally eclipsed that mark.
With six production records under its belt, including the 0-186-0 mph time of 21.9 seconds, the Koenigsegg Agera R is already considered the biggest threat to the Veyron Super Sport’s title and now that Koenigsegg has officially released the new Agera R, word is leaking that the car is capable of hitting 273 mph, six mph faster than the mighty Bugatti.
The number has yet to be verified, but if the Agera R is capable of breaking the 270-barrier, then we’re going to have a pretty interesting battle for fastest car supremacy on our hands.
The world is waiting for your figures, Koenigsegg. Let it be known that the 2013 Agera R can hit a top speed of 273 mph and you can claim the title of fastest car in the world. And in doing so, you better expect a reply from Bugatti very, very soon.

Martin Truex Jr., dragster Antron Brown switch rides
This is fairly cool: Martin Truex Jr. and NHRA Top Fuel driver Antron Brown swapped rides in Charlotte on Wednesday. Truex fired off the line in a dragster at the zMAX Dragway, while Brown took hot laps at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Check out the ways that each driver perceives the other's ride, from the sense of time to the feeling of G-forces. Good stuff.

Williams begin ?beginning of a rebuilding process?
If Ferrari fans thought that their team had perhaps not lived up its name last season then they should talk to fans of Williams. The team that dominated in the early 90?s winning multiple World Championships managed to score only five points last season. Five. It?s a sad fall from grace and one, that at [...]
What word describes Danica Patrick and starts with a ?b??
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. ? Haters gonna hate, as Danica Patrick well knows. Latest on board the Danica-sucks train: one Ross Shimabuku, sports anchor for the Fox affiliate in San Diego, offering a bit of unsolicited opinion about Ms. Patrick and the "chip on her shoulder." Bet Fox is just thrilled that ol' Ross is trashing one of the key drawing cards for the biggest race they'll telecast all year.

Repsol Press Release: Marc Marquez Completes Testing at Albacete
Marc Marquez has completed two full days of testing on his Catalunya Caixa Suter Moto2 machine, the first full session of testing since the Spaniard suffered an injury to his right eye at Sepang back in October 2011. After being given the all clear by the doctors to start riding a Moto2 machine again, Marquez took a preliminary run out at Alcarras earlier this week to test his ability to ride, completing just 8 laps, before scheduling two days of testing at the Albacete circuit, to carry out a thorough test of his fitness to ride without suffering the double vision which had plagued him earlier.
The test was shrouded in secrecy, with even normally well-informed sources keeping quiet on progress at the test, but knowing the massive media interest in the progress Marquez is making - especially in his native Spain - the Repsol Media service issued the following press release and video of Marquez after the test:
