It looks like CART may be racing at Spa-Francorchamps next year, as the magnificent track has fallen from the schedule. I saw my first F1 race there, and it is a criminal shame that Ecclestone has left the track out. F1 is getting worse by the year...

Meanwhile, it looks like Niki Lauda is about to be sacked by Jaguar. First Prost, now Lauda...Berger is the last of the old guard left. Here's hoping his 270-degree V10 kicks some ass next year.

Todd Rosenberry sends us a link of a duo who have created famous M.C. Escher illustrations using LEGO bricks. My favorite is their rendition of Escher's 'Ascending and Descending' in three dimensions. Very clever.

Joy! There's a new racetrack being paved right now out in Reno, and at 3.5 miles in length it sounds like it's going to be pretty spectacular.
