Alright! So the Podcast is now released and will be posted on Tuesdays starting 2007. We will be doing Episode 2 this Tuesday but will be taking the following week off, so the podcast will officially be launched weekly starting '07. Race Tech Radio will be mostly about open wheel racing and all series to do with it like A1GP, GP2, F1, IRL, Champ Car, ect. And Technology news if there is room for it :) We will be aiming for an hour long but we won't make it exactly 1 hour until around episode 10. Anyways the official website is http://www.racetechradio.com and will grow in content as we get further into the year. Either that or subscribe to the rss which will be posted on the site later this week or you can check out my podcast section which will have all of the episodes in there. Now onto the post :D Today was the finale of Star Racer and as I predicted Devin Cunningham won! It's ashame the car he will be driving next season in the Mazda Star Series is so ugly but i hope he moves to a better series soon after his contract expires. What was disappointing was how Chris Green cracked under the pressure :( he ended up having contact with 3 other racers :O and that Philippe Gelinas kept blaming his lap times on the car, after switching with Lorenzo his lap times stayed the same and Lorenzo took 1st position. The strange this was that they announced the winner of Star Racer after the final race of the 06 Champ Car series at Mexico City on the 15th of November... I watched that race and... didn't see them or even hear about it. They didn't make a big scene of it other then Devin doing a lap in the car. I can see why they pushed Star Racer out so quickly because it started what... late November? and finished mid December for the TV series, and the actual search for the racers started mid summer and they had the Star Racer picked out and in the car testing in November. They have to get him in and comfortable with the car and the 15 race tracks in the 5 months left of the off season for the Mazda Star Series. A1GP is going to be on Speed TV today at 1pm pst which I am rather excited about. It will be my first A1GP race and hope it meets my expectations, if not... atleast the concept is great it may turn out like shit... hah kinda like USA come to think of it :P So that is all for this post come back next Tuesday where I will have a new blog post and a new episode of Race Tech Radio!
