well, last week was pretty disappointing. tbh, last month was pretty anti-climatic. I had pretty high expectations, but I was left disappointed. Ukraine won the eurovision song contest by default (no surprise), there was only 12 GT3 cars competing at the bathurst 12 hours and all of my favourites had problems (they should've just cancelled the event due to the lack of entries) and it was the same for the Nurburgring 24. they all had problems and took themselves out of the race. it's a good thing I didnt watch the bathurst 12 hour / nurburgring 24 from start to finish, otherwise, I would've been pretty disappointed. (well, one of my favourites did win the Bathurst 12 hour, but it was a shallow victory. if it was a full grid, it'd would've meant a lot more.)

oh well, at least we've got the paul ricard 1000k coming up. this should be pretty interesting. for all the teams that are competing in the GT World Challenge Endurance Cup, this is preparation for the Spa 24, which is IMO, the biggest GT3 race in the world. yep. I'd say it's even bigger than the nurburgring 24. unlike the Daytona 24 / Dubai 24 / Nurburgring 24, it's just GT3. there's no other cars (TCR, GT4, etc.) BMW was unable to win the Nurburgring 24 (yeah, I missed the start of the race, and I knew that I wouldnt be able to watch the entire race, so I watched parts of it. yeah, a stinkin Audi won the race A.K.A my least favourite brand. how disappointing.) the good news is Rowe Racing have an EXTREMELY good track record at the 24 hours of spa. they won in 2016, came 2nd in 2018 and 2019, and won the race in 2020.

well, this should be A LOT more entertaining. I really wanna see them win the Paul Ricard 1000k. I'm planning to use my $50 voucher to pre-order a 1:43 scale model of it. hopefully, everything goes well for them. ^^

...and I dont wanna get my hopes up, but it looks like they'll be broadcasting the Darwin Triple Crown LIVE on 7. I hope so. earlier this year, speedcafe.com gave us the list of all the events channel 7 would be broadcasting live and free on 7 and...the darwin triple crown was not on that list. what was on there was the Sandown Supersprint. what??? uhh...okay. they did not broadcast the sandown superprint last year. why are they broadcasting this event? it doesnt make any sense. as for the darwin triple crown, well...this was a late addition to the Free To Air calendar. yep, they have been broadcasting this event since 2020. 

"The Merlin Darwin Triple Crown will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 506 and the Seven Network, and streamed live via Kayo."

(yeah, normally, it'd say: the 'insert name of event here' will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 506 and will be streamed live via Kayo. one hour highlights of the 'insert name of event here' will be shown on the Seven Network.)

all the cars will have an indigenous livery, paying tribute to the original people of Australia. so yeah, expect to see a lot of beautiful cave drawings. what I love is all the teams MUST have an indigenous livery. that's really good for us. I tell ya, they're gonna look spectacular. there's no doubt in my mind they'll release diecast models of these.

but like I said. I shouldnt get too carried away. we'll just have to wait and see if channel 7 will broadcast this event live and free or not. 

EDIT: okay, so it says here on V8 Sleuth that they'll broadcast the Darwin Triple Crown on 7. aww, f*ck yeah. that's awesome!!! this is gonna be A LOT of fun.  I just hope they're able to stop a certain dick-head from winning the race.  well, there's a lot of motorsport to watch this month, so I'm happy ^^

it has been a pretty cold start to the month. the last couple of nights were...freezing!!! I dunno bout you, but we aussies are not used to the cold. anything below 12 degrees celcius is too cold for us. other than that, I've just been getting back into godzilla (am planning to watch Godzilla VS Megaguirus and Godzilla Final Wars sometime this week if not, the next) and been watching the MLP 2D series on youtube. out of the mane 5, Zipp is my favourite. unlike the rest of the mane 5 (who are trying to be carbon copies on the mane 6), she is her own unique character and she is easily the most mature of the mane 5. I cant wait to see how she develops throughout the series ^^
