I Like Sportscars... So Why Aren't I Riveted?

So I've got a beer glass that says 'Duff' on it. Oh yes. Here's my setup for this race. FW, the live feed, Tweetdeck is on the taskbar there, beer, snacks. Good stuff for an endurance race.

That said, I'm really having trouble getting my head into this race. I like long-distance racing but this one is not inspiring me.

I miss the LMP1 cars; there's no Radio Le Mans; have we even spoken to Dixon yet, you know, the man who led much of the race? What about Dario and Juan?

And there are too many commercials. And the track isn't inspiring in the slightest. Neither are the cars.

But apart from that its fine! The driver line-ups are varied and diverse and they are the big attraction for this event, it really is an eclectic mix you probably wouldn't see at other long-distance events - I can't understand why that isn't being made the most of by the TV crew.

One more thing... I'm just adding the tags to this post and in the list there's an entry for 'Hot Nude Sex'. I am not even going to ask why.

So I don't know much about racing...

Wedge got me.

Yesterday, I told Wedge to google a name and see what came up. It was someone we used to know and I thought he'd like the search results.

So he gave me a name to google. A racer. Ana Beatriz.

I guess most of you know that I was pretty confused when I was getting results for someone who was not a racer:




This, of course, is supermodel Ana Beatriz Barros.

[Insert tag for google searchers: This is not a hot nude sex video.]









It took me a while, but I figured it out. The trick is obviously that there is another person named Ana Beatriz, the Indy Lights racer. [Note: This is also not a hot nude sex video.]

I've seen an Indy Lights race. Did I watch her? Only Wedge has the answer. (Or anyone else, I suppose, if you know if she would've been at the Nashville race in July 2008.)
