Sports videos
I’m not really into motorsports, but I understand there’s a big Formula One race going on in Europe this weekend. I admire the capabilities of the F1 cars, and I thought I’d post a few racing-related videos. Enjoy!

Some spoiled brats race a Ferrari 355 against a Dodge Viper GTS through a twisty mountain road in California. What do you think happens when someone that doesn’t know how to drive rally-style gets behind the wheel of a Doge Viper? Watch and see:
A plane lands on a motorhome in this next video — it gets billed as the world’s shortest runway:
This last one is another thriller. A stunt plane comes within inches of crashing miserably as it undergoes a loopdeloop:
