Cool. Although the first video link doesn't work.

That was the idea of race of champions, but it's been dilluted so much for extra media coverage

Hmm, a look-a-like!

With the expression on Loeb's face it makes me wonder if that cooling pipe's attached to a particular part of his anatomy, and is it set to suck or blow ?

Quote from TAYLOR-MANIA :

Schumacher is good on a Ducati

Ehrm... no.
The foto and videos of his test in Mugello were embarassing, the lap times given totally fake... but still i bet that he sure can drive anything with 4 weels!
