We're looking ahead to a solid weekend for motorsports entertainment. F1 is back, taking a trip to one of the most storied race tracks in the UK; Silverstone. We'll get to see if anyone has something, in the proverbial tank, for Sebastian Vettel. IndyCar is back on a road course after several weeks of circle tracks. Rolex Sports Car series is back with action  from the world-renowned Laguna Seca Raceway. And for for the crotch-rocket lovers out there, SWC action from the Czech Republic. On a side note, the Autodromo Brno is a tight course used for motorcycle racing, but it's also a major player in the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC) going back decades; the ETCC action at the Brno circuit recently inspired a new design by the good folks at 8380 Labs. Lastly there's a new car show out this upcoming Wednesday on SPEED; it's called The Car Show. I don't know much about it besides the fact it's a low budget effort which aims to somewhat compete with Top Gear America. Enjoy your weekends, I'll be on a boat!
