Awesome, on demand replay of the nations cup races there.

I wanted to watch my man Jamie Whincup compete but he was replaced by Chad
Reed (motocrosser).

First round was Schumacher v Doohan then Vettel v Reed... Germany only won
by a combined +40 seconds in those 2. LOL

Maybe I dont really want to watch this as badly as I thought

Travis Pastrama and a Drifting driver I've not heard of did pretty well for
the USA.

But yeah Doohan in particular looked a bit out of his class.

You have to wonder if 100% of Red Bull profits go into motor racing based on
the number of drivers wearing their logoed helmets here.

I was pleased to find the full 3.5 hr program in a form you can lick
through fairly easily.

Some drivers stood out but there was also a lot more to the draw than I
expect many people would notice. Both GB and Germany got the better
draw in their first rounds.

Priaulx was surprising. I think he won all his races up to the final
and then did pretty well to beat Vettel in his first time out in the
WRC car. In the tie breaker he posted the quickest time of anyone first
time out in the ROC car. Mickey had a bit of an advantage having just
raced them twice already.

It will be worth a look in today for the individual event.
