Foggy was plenty talented but also a boofhead who was happier to be a big fish in a smaller pond. WSB legend.

Fonsi was a tad emotional after his win. Poor bugger hasn't been on the top step since Donnington 2003From Pantah to Desmosedici RR

Great race by the Fonz. I guess for him it is Happy Days. I wonder if he pulls the women like the Fonz

Just about anyone could win this first race because its so different to what everyones used to. Midnight ...under floodlighting!?
Having said that, Stoner'll probably win.

That's a lotta lights! Think of the electricity bill! I can just see the rest of the countries lights dimming as the power grid is sucked dry for MotoGP.

What a waste, just like racing during daytime.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

They could always save power by making the lights solar powered

Hence, not much country which are ready to host night race.
M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
