"He was already rocketing into the sky on a pair of rapidly melting Icarus wings" - what a line!
Evel Knievel became a big star here in the UK when he came over to Wembley stadium and jumped London busses.

A top single from an awesome LP.
The whole "De La Soul is Dead" album is excellent. It was slept on it back in the day in much the same way Paul's Boutique was - people were expecting the same as 3 Ft High / Licensed to Ill but got something different.
One of my top Hip-Hop albums of all time.

At least overtaking is possible at COTA, unlike Monaco ( which should be dropped IMHO). Make them use soft medium and hard tyres to spice it up a bit.

He could have pulled over and retired the car. He didn't have to accelerate when leaving the corners. Foot off the gas pedal, coast to a stop. But then I guess retiring from a race voluntarily isn't in a racer's make-up :)

Early 90s. My kid brother had some battery powered Zoids and he hadn't played with them for a couple of years.
One morning, around 4am, from the bottom of the toy box, one of them suddenly lit up - eyes glowing red, motors in full swing, making a hell of a noise and scaring the life out of me!
