Mostly motorsport, but occasionally I'll voice my opinion about other stuff. This doesn't always go well
No obvious motorsport connections on #onlyconnect tonight, so here's one for the Metrophiles (ahem). In fact, judging by how few I got correct tonight, few obvious connections of any kind

Under the circumstances it's nice to see the Venezuelan president using the full phrase "current Government" rather than abbreviating it like the rest of us do

A Daytona Prototype purporting to be a Chevrolet Corvette, acting as the slightest of clues to an answer on #onlyconnect tonight, but not enough to spoil it for you
The football question is brilliant, by the way

Very confusing to see Milton's Paradise Lost turn up at the start of #onlyconnect rather than the end... Oh well, it's Christmas I suppose. And being the Books Special, it gives me chance to revisit my attempt to remake the Famous Five for the Hunger Games generation

Chris Rea joins the weirdly long list of people known for Christmas songs who have died around Christmas time (Kirsty MacColl, George Michael, Patty Donahue from the Waitresses, Greg Lake...). But he's the only one of those who's ever taken part in a motor race that Nigel Mansell was also in

Shocked to hear of the passing of Greg Biffle, who by odd coincidence was the winner of the first NASCAR race I saw on British TV (Channel 5) in the Winter Heat Series, and the first NASCAR Championship shown by the same channel (2002 Busch Series)

There's probably an #onlyconnect round on Yamaha products on their own... motorbikes, keyboards, Formula 1 engines (for a while) and... erm... novelty vegetables named after Scandinavian pop groups. Er, possibly

There were a couple more obvious motorsport connections in tonight's #onlyconnect (the second of which was named after the person he's been merged with, fact fans), but I thought I'd go all in with Hell in Norway. It's got rallycross, so it can't be all bad

As well as the World Championship double, this is the first year ending in a 5 that McLaren have made it through without having to make any changes to their driver line-up #uselessfacts

Just when I thought this week's #onlyconnect motoring connection for this account was going to have to get even more tenuous, they do a connection on motorcycle manufacturers. One of which used to make cars, which takes me back to the recent Hollyoaks feature. It all fits together in the end

It's a good job the event name and sponsor are on screen, otherwise I couldn't tell if I was watching RAC Rally coverage or Autumnwatch

Further clue to the first picture question in tonight's #onlyconnect for the motorsport fans: you could have had Geoff and David Brabham. Never likely to happen, admittedly, and not just because of the relative obscurity for the casual viewer...

Since Pau got a mention in the first clue on tonight's #onlyconnect, here's a picture from the multiple Tour de France host's other great sporting event, the Pau Grand Prix. Specifically, Juan Pablo Montoya en route to a crushing one-lap victory in 1998, his title-winning year
