Watch the Race of Champions liveIt's on Autosport, for free:http://www.autosport.com/roc/ Just watched Seb Vettel take Marcus Gronholm to the cleaners in a head-to-head tintop race - brilliant. |

A bit nippy in Beijing...
That's the rest of my day gone now. Thanks mate. 
Andy Priaulx virtually slaughtered his opposition, posting the second fastest time of anyone today. |

Thanks for that! I'm watching it now - 4-0 for GB in their heat.
The comentator's shite, though. Keeps getting his facts all wrong. |

Scandinavia vs France full of drama. Two DNFs now.
Wow. |

Some yank called Faust has just beaten Schumacher! | ||||
| Dr. Hfuhruhurr |
But it'll cost him in the long run, by the sound of it. |

Well I never...
Pastrana had Vettel beaten, but lost it at the end for the Germans to tie it. Enthralling stuff. |

GB vs Germany in the final. Schumi shows Button what's what. 
And Priaulx posts an astonishing time to beat Vettel. |

Why is on mid-week? | ||||

It's a fiendish Chinese plot to disrupt Western productivity. |

It's certainly fucked my day right up! Soooo much catching up to do now...

There's more tomorrow too.

I wonder if they've censored the live feed in China ... | ||||

Looks like I'll be lucky to see 7 minutes of the action on Dave then. The rest of the program will be padded out with lots of ariel shots of the bird's nest stadium and someone asking Rufus Hound if he's enjoying it. | ||||

And we're off. Day 2, Champions of Champions.
Goodbye now.

Watching a bit of this now.
Button up next? |

It seems like they have a silly group stage to kick off, a la Champions League.
Button is in the same group as Tanner Foust, DTM driver Tom Kristensen and some Frenchman. Everyone races each other, top two in the group progress. EDIT: Button just nudges out Foust by 0.050 of a second. That was quite something. |

Button just beat Faust (the guy who beat Schumi yesterday) by 0.05s. | ||||

The forum's gone very quiet. I assume everyone is watching this...
Marcus Gone-Home.
