Have you ever wondered what Red Bull Racing’s Mark Webber do on a weekend off? Well, after Silverstone he actually has two free weekends and for the first one he went, yep, you guessed it, racing!
However, after racing his RB5 to second place, the Aussie star switched to two wheels and he was very much spectator and fan rather than competitor when he visited the British Speedway GP in Cardiff on Saturday evening and the British round of the World Superbike championship on Sunday.
At the speedway he watched fellow Australian Jason Crump take another step towards his third world title, winning all seven races while the following day it was up to north Leicestershire to watch the two rounds of the WSB championship.
At Donington – which may or may not be an F1 circuit in 2010 – Mark met up with Jonathan Rea of Hanspree Honda and Tom Sykes of Yamaha who were competing in the World Superbike series, as well as Honda’s Supersport sensation from Turkey Kenan Sofuoglu.
Meanwhile, along the way he bumped into former World Superbike champions James Toseland, who raced in Assen for the MotoGP championship on Saturday and Carl Fogarty. |
