Another Moto2 Withdrawal: Holiday Gym Team Withdraws, Simeon Jobless

Ever since its introduction, the Moto2 class has been oversubscribed, with more  teams wanting places than were available on the grid. Last year, over 40 riders regularly raced in the class, and there were 40 entries for the 2011 season. 

Natural attrition is starting to take its toll on the Moto2 grid, however, After the announcement that the Jack&Jones By Antonio Banderas team had withdrawn - reportedly leaving a trail of unpaid bills behind them - another team has abandoned the series. The Holiday Gym team, which had entered Belgian rider Xavier Simeon for the 2011 Moto2 season aboard a Moriwaki, has decided to pull out of racing altogether.

This time, the problem was not one of money. Luis Guerra, owner of the Holiday Gym chain of fitness and spa centers, had set up the team to back his son Yannick's racing ambitions. After a spell in World Supersport, Guerra switched to Moto2, partnering Fonsi Nieto in the Holiday Gym G22 team run by Pablo and Gelete Nieto.

Video: Aston Martin LMP1 and V12 Vantage sing 12-cylinder love songs to each other

Aston Martin V12 Vantage meets the LMP1 racer
Aston Martin's V12 Vantage meets the Gulf LMP1 racecar - Click above to watch video after the jump

Aston Martin may offer a car with eight cylinders, but the automaker's heart truly lies within those machines powered by 12. The Vantage was recently given a full injection of awesome when the folks in Gaydon decided a power upgrade was in order. The V12 Vantage is loud and proud thanks to its 6.0-liter V12 that churns out 510 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. That same 6.0-liter unit can be found in the DB9, Rapide, DBS and even the ultra-exotic One-77, and it's also the mill that powers Lola-Aston Martin B09/60, better known as the Aston Martin DBR1-2 LMP1 racecar.

The 510 hp in the V12 Vantage is certainly impressive, but the DBR1-2's power output is raised to around 650 hp for racing duty. That 140-hp advantage is stretched much further when you factor in the weight difference between the two cars - the V12 Vantage weighs 3,700 pounds and the DBR1-2 tips the scales at just 2,000 pounds.

Still, these two Astons pump fuel through similar hearts, and the automaker put together a short video clip that shows the two coming together on a rain-slicked country road. Hop the jump to see the V12 Vantage meet the DBR1-2 LMP1 racecar.

Ferrari President Fancies Alonso-Vettel Lineup

Since Sebastian Vettel has made some obvious hints towards his passion for Ferrari in recent months, it was only natural for the Scuderia to piggyback on those suggestions. And the company's president Luca di Montezemolo admitted that he would fancy signing the reigning world champion in the future. In fact, he looked convinced that the German will some day race in an all-red racesuit.

Sebastian is fast, intelligent and young, said the 63-year-old Italian, according to Cologne tabloid Express...

Wacky Laws, Uncanny Regulations, Zombie People

Recently, there's been quite some fuss over a new traffic regulation which, by initial accounts, is quite strange (to say the least) and has good chances of being enforced in Paris.
Specifically, pedestrians who wish to cross the street will have to raise their arm in a certain, previously established way, and then rush forward, cutting through ongoing traffic, while all cars supposedly slow down and allow them to pass.

This is where it gets complicated. What if the driver doesn't notice th...
