Mostly motorsport, but occasionally I'll voice my opinion about other stuff. This doesn't always go well
I see one of Sissy SpaceX's rockets is on collision course with the moon. Now if I remember correctly, these three would be sent to deal with any lunar threats and the following would happen: (1) If three targets, two would be dealt with and one would get through (2) If one target, they'd all miss
My Thunderbirds knowledge almost came in handy on tonight's #onlyconnect, only for me to spot the secondary football element to the question And yes, it does look as though Gordon's just been told what his old mucker Schofield has been up to these last few years
A fortunate escape for Igor Fraga in yesterday's Super GT race at Fuji. Just a little bit higher and a little bit closer to the bridge and it could have been a repeat of Takashi Yokoyama's fatal Formula 3 crash from 1997. As it is, driver OK

By Meat Loaf's somewhat generous standards, we can consider this a success
Nothing live on the tellybox this weekend, but we do have a 24-hour race for 30-year-old city cars on a Welsh island, and some more mainstream choices
Erm... do you want to have another go at this caption, BBC website people?
Odd stats department: Lando Norris's Hungarian Grand Prix win last week was the first GP win for McLaren in a year ending in a 6 since Alain Prost won the 1986 finale in Australia
I'm no gambler, but I suspect I'll place a bet on the TikTok Grand National, since there will be only one horse to choose
First of the Middle Eastern motorsport dominoes have fallen then. Disappointed Silverstone didn't get a warm-up for its 2027 return; the Birkett 6 Hours is on on October 24, and a 6-hour WEC race would have made an interesting support on the Sunday 😉

All the writing on YouTube seems to have gone italicised for some reason, and I've taken an immediate, and what I recognise is irrational, dislike to it
Just when I was struggling to find a motorsport connection to this week's #onlyconnect (not that it usually stops me), along comes the Mssn Gvwls round with some inspiration
A race of ever-changing fortunes, a utopia of blue flaglessness (almost) and I crown a winner in the inaugural F1 In-Season Challenge. And even that goes to penalties
The 2026 Power Rankings Round 11
Hungary Coming into the weekend, we were reaching the halfway mark of the season, which is now about half a race into the future following confirmation of an additional Grand Prix that isn’t …

Silverstone looking a bit wetter this morning than for many a week. It's because I talked about it being a scorcher on this week's "What's On" guide, isn't it...
Hmm, half an hour into the Ferrari Challenge NA livestream from Sonoma and they've only just finished watching some military planes fly over. I assume the same didn't happen in the Ferrari Challenge UK event at Brands Hatch, unless the RAF needed to "escort" some Russian fighters from the region
Seems like a relatively quiet motorsport weekend, by which I mean I can just about fill two pages of A4 rather than having to group things together to get everything in...
I've been on three motoring websites so far this morning and seen this picture on two of them. Nothing odd in seeing the same pic, if it's a current news item, but unusual for a car from about 25 years ago. I wonder if Vauxhall VX220 nostalgia is about to peak?
Of course the Ad Astra team got the #onlyconnect picture clue with a Vauxhall car in it... but it's bad news for the Doctor Who-themed team that failed to identify a certain confectionary mascot...
The start time of tonight's IndyCar race is apparently contingent on when the World Cup Final finishes, because reasons. Don't expect it to start much before Tuesday at the current rate of progress
Good news! I was able to watch the Belgian Grand Prix highlights on Channel 4, which overlapped with the first half of the World Halftime Show Final, and didn't miss a goal
The 2026 Power Rankings Round 10
Belgium 4 …USA 1. Ah, the World Cup, whose final is going on as I start typing this up. And probably will be long after I’ve published it, if for no other reason than there’s a ha…

What is it about GT World Challenge Europe and their inability to even get to the first corner in Italy without getting involved in an almighty pile-up?...
If you're wondering where the Aurum 1006km from Palanga was on my live recommendations yesterday, sadly there doesn't appear to be an English language one, so it wasn't eligible. Worth checking out anyway - it appears to be a wet one this year, and I've just seen some GT3 cars lapping a VW Caddy...
I understand there's some sort of football match in the USA of America on Sunday, but I'm not interested in that. Channel 4 are hoping nobody else is either, given that they haven't moved the F1 highlights to a different time...
Usually you'll find at least one person willing to give a comment a "thumbs down" on the BBC sport live feeds. Want to ensure that doesn't happen? Insert a cuddly toy 🧸
Aha, I've worked it out now, this is part of Harry's thread on #bbcf1 of "important things you've forgotten" - they've forgotten to put the "Get involved" tab on the page. Very meta
Stoo G@formulastoo.bsky.social · 3w agoI would send this directly to the BBC F1 page, but the "Get involved" tab appears not to have got involved yet (it's normally below the left-hand column)
Eau Rouge into Raidillon, as it looked 30 years ago. Grass, gravel and barriers to prevent people from trying to go flat out, and by and large it worked. Get back to this and we solve many of the corner's issues that have appeared in recent years #bbcf1
Hmm, England could do with a few tips to beat Messi. I'll see if I can find any weaknesses in his official biography...
Well this helped to sew up a connection on tonight's new #onlyconnect By the way, have they ever-so-slightly tweaked the font the clues are presented in, in a way I can't quite put my finger on?
A look at the various ways last week's British Grand Prix could have ended, amid the largely unavoidable conclusion that the software error was mostly to blame
Stuart’s inquiry: Safety first
Welcome to the latest in an occasional feature (and I mean occasional: this is the fourth one in eight years!) where I take an in-depth look at a controversial moment in racing and wonder if it cou…
