Oh dang, is that the robo horse from the Animatrix?

Edit: Oh shit, Danny drops some hot Animatrix references. Interesting fact: the Animatrix is the last piece of Matrix-related media that I think is any good, because it's basically a short film anthology that gets to mostly escape the dumbness of the second and third movies.

I've been on the F1 rollercoaster (The fastest in the world) in Ferrari World, and it is insane. The way it takes off is unbelievable, you can feel your whole body being pushed back by the Gs. They have to give you goggles to protect your face/eyes.

A very good documentary from Channel 4 in the UK about Karting:

0 to 60mph: Britain's fastest kids

Sorry I think it can only be watched in the UK (limited time on demand service) but still very good. It may be in other places.

@bisonhero: While I don't disagree, that word "fact" doesn't mean what you think it means? *chuckles* Nice to know your "opinion" on such matters though.

What's the outro music?

I thought it might be Chemical Brothers, but I don't recognize it.

Always surprised, despite everything else ever in canada being more expensive than the US, we can get all the F1 races in our "standard" cable package, about $30/month.

Hey Drew, what's up with the "Vettel won in the end.." "Lame" , comment.

Cmon, At that time Vettel was the new wonder kid, like Verstappen, actually he did even more then him, he manage to actually win a race while he was sill at Toro Rosso, before being promoted to Red Bull.

And on that race that you were talking about, it was the last race of 2010, there were 2 drivers with more points then Vettel going to the final race, Vettel during the whole year was never ahead in the points table, and just manage to get ahead on that last race, when it really counts.

It was amazing, what came after was a dominance of 4 years, but that does not take away the beauty of that moment.
