This is not a good weekend for my vicarious car racing experience. After 23 hours and 55 minutes, I switched off the feed for Lemans, content that Toyota had won after thirty years of trying. The car broke, and Volkswagen won. I love Germans, but I can't stand their motor racing teams.
Which brings me to Baku, where another German manufacturer is easily winning. At least the new circuit is fantastic. The race has been pretty boring, but the combination of walls, high speeds, buildings, and overhanging trees makes it a spectacular place for a Grand Prix. Also, there are some obvious skatespots around the fountains, and I'm definitely checking out whatever Baku skating footage I can find on youtube, when the race is over.
As for Taipei skating, there has been none on my part since last Tuesday, as we've had violent tropical thunderstorms almost every afternoon, and I ate something at the night market that upset my gut worm a few days ago, so I'm afraid to ollie up a curb, in case I shit my pants.
