Italian legend to wear helmet decorated with his own face

Is this the most brilliant helmet in the history of motorsport? The short answer is yes, it mos’ definitely is. Rossi will wear the special-edition Aldo Drudi helmet, which sports a disturbingly, distractingly large image of his own excited face, in tomorrow’s Italian MotoGP. We hope it catches on in F1 - would make races much more exciting.

Drive your Mini through the face of… whoever the hell you want

Its Friday afternoon, so you’re probably bored and watching the clock. Here’s something to occupy you for a few precious minutes before you head down the pub: Mini’s new Ban Boredom campaign, launched to celebrate the new Mini Cooper S, allows you to drive the car up a long ramp and straight into the face of… well, whose face would you like to see demolished by an imaginary Mini? We chose Herr Max von Mosley, and very satisfying it was too.

Guess which hell-raising British star matched Clarkson…

Earlier today we told you about fathead Jeremy Clarkson, who admitted to driving 186mph on a public road in Britain. Now we bring you news of another British celeb who likes to speed, only without clothes.

Full marks if you can guess which TV personality - and we use the word personality in the loosest sense - admitted to driving his Ford GT40 at 186mph (the same speed as Clarkson) – but in the nude! Answer after the break…

Like cigarettes, cars and girls? This post is going out to you

Don’t ask us where we find these videos, because we’ll only make up an answer, like: we have a Thai sweat shop full of kids whose job it is to track down videos of unusual car fetishes.

Mechaphilia (the strangest of them all)

Hamilton won in Monaco with help from above

“Thanks God, you’re almost as awesome as me. See you in Montreal…” 

Lewis Hamilton didn’t win the Monaco Grand Prix on his own. He was helped out by God (and of course the wonderful team of mechanics at Vodafone McLaren - mustn’t upset the sponsors). Speaking to the Mirror this week, Lil’ Lewis said:

“God was with me. I needed everyone’s support and I had that in the race.”

Calls for BBC to sack Top Gear host after speeding admission

For the record, Grid Crasher thinks Clarkson is a Premier League tool. Smug, arrogant, blinkered, xenophobic, badly dressed, pompous, self-aggrandising… we could go on and on about JC’s faults. He is undoubtedly the worst thing about Top Gear - who else could make James May look like a cool guy?

That said, when we heard that Clarkson had admitted speeding on a British public road (in the Limehouse Link tunnel, to be specific) at 186mph, in a Bugatti Veyron, we smiled. It’s a typical admission from this massive-headed wind-up merchant, uttered with the sole intention of annoying lefty liberals who don’t own cars. There’s nothing wrong with winding up liberals, but at 186mph? That’s almost 120mph faster than the national speed limit.

Motorbike legend takes TV hottie for a spin

This is Sonia Ferrer. She’s a big celeb in her native Spain, where she’s made a name for herself as an actress/model/TV presenter. Of course, that’s no reason to publish her picture on a motorsport website. This is a good reason…

Mechaphile makes sweet sweet love to exhaust pipe

“It was Todd’s turn to receive Edward’s loving seed…”

Possibly the most disturbing thing we’ve seen this week. Taken from Five’s bizarre documentary My Car is My Lover, which was aired last night.
