Just when many were starting to think that F1 was going to repeat the history of American open wheel racing it was announced today that FOTA and the FIA reached an agreement and there will be no “breakaway series” for 2010.  However it seems that part of the deal is that FIA President Max Mosely will not stand for re-election at the end of the year and might step down immediately from his position.  The details are a bit foggy but you can read reports on this at Autoblog and at SPEEDTV to try and make sense of it all.

In the end this all turned out to be pretty much what I suspected, a firm power play by FOTA to leverage their value and get their voices heard.  Mission accomplished…

Some people just have awesome jobs.  Take Tanner Foust for instance.  When he’s not competing in Formula D, racing in Rally America, or stunt driving awesome cars on Hollywood movie sets hes hosting a show called Supercars Exposed which is a 30 minute program on SPEED where crazy rich people toss him the keys to their expensive cars. 

If that weren’t enough, producers from Supercars Exposed just flew Tanner over to Milan where he got to visit the Lamborghini factory and drive the 1.4 million dollar Lamborghini Reventon!

He even wrote a driving impression and everything!

Did I forget to mention that this dude also gets to be one of the hosts of the American version of Top Gear?!

This man needs to author a self-help book on how to consecutively land amazing car jobs.
