Love how mean it looks! The rear is not the best but still good looking. Personally, don't really like the LEDs on the headlights.
And LOVE the exhaust note! Thunderous!

My blogging trend
So you might think it is a real loser thing to do. But I have made a graph of my blogging trend and above are the results. Started early, did not do much in between and now doing more than ever before.
A notable increase in May and June this year thanks to my summer project. And that I guess has continued till now. Hope to blog more.Saturday, 12 September 2009
No La Liga broadcast in India!
This is absolutely pathetic!
It seems ESPN Star Sports (ESS) has decided to not renew their contract to broadcast La Liga in Asia. They have to pay USD 1 million per year for these rights as opposed to 13.5 million for 3 years for the EPL - this contract expires in 2010. This is the same way they lost the rights to the UEFA Champions League and Cup broadcast to Ten Sports - this also costs 1 million per year.
Their argument is they have enough cricket and EPL in their calendar and not many people would want to watch football at midnight (which is when La Liga is played - IST). Are you kidding me? Just this year when I though there will be more Liga matches on TV thanks to Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, Zlatan and more gong to Spain, they decide to take the plug out completely! Not to mention the number of Ronaldo fans who would now want to watch Real Madrid games!
I have no hopes from Ten Sports giving more weightage to Spanish match in the Champions League as well now. To add to all this, it seems no other channel is interested in picking up the rights for La Liga as well.
It is a sad year for football! Atleast for me...
All set up for another brilliant race
An excellent qualifying session ended with Hamilton on pole followed by Sutil. Sutil had a brilliant Q3 but was let down by a small wobble at Lesmo resulting Hamilton beating him by 0.2 seconds. The Ferrari of Kimi was behind them on row 2. So the Force India IS better than the Ferrari :)
On the two drivers on new cars, Liuzzi managed an impressive 7th place but Fisi could only get 14.
Here is how they all line up for tomorrow:
- Hamilton (KERS)
- Sutil
- Kimi (KERS)
- Heikki (KERS)
- Rubens
- Button
- Liuzzi
- Alonso (KERS)
- Vettel
- Webber
- Trulli
- Grosjean (KERS)
- Kubica
- Fisichella
- Heidfeld
- Glock
- Nakajima
- Rosberg
- Beumi
- Algesuari
An exciting race ahead with the KERS powered cars predicted to gain 15 metres right at the start. Sutil better watch out!
Final Practice - Sutil First, Fisichella Last
The final practice of the Italian GP has brought about an amazing irony. Fisichella who left Force India to join the team that beat him to the finish line in Belgium is now last. And the team he left is still first.
Adrian Sutil has just set the fastest time in the final practice session followed by a late bloomer Jenson Button who managed to up his pace only in the last ten minutes. Fisichella was dead last but to be fair, he had also crashed out in the middle of the session. By comparison, Kimi was 12th fastest. However, not yet sure if the KERS powered cars did use KERS properly in the practice sessions.
Well, the Ferraris seem out of pace, but the Brawns are trying to fight back.
We shall see in less than two hours when the Qualifying session for the Italian GP starts off.
