Happy Eid.

The celebrating spirit where I live gets less and less each year to be honest, or maybe I'm just getting older.

Not a single person wished me a happy Eid personally this year.

Strange :|

where I love the only people I know of who celebrates Ramadan is the family who run the tobacco shop down the street and they keep a low profile about religion

Hello! Good to see one of the long-term Gamespotters back! Since all the changes, I hardly ever sign in anymore but I do pop in occasionally. Usually when I want to see something about a game I am interested in.

good to see you again too, this place just isn't the same .. Especially with Kevin leaving.

I remember when the first thing I did everyday was log in to GS....that just is not true anymore

Robert Kubica had his arm nearly severed that is not the same as a broken arm, also a concussion. Despite what he claims Robert will probably never be quite the same as before, I've had similar injuries in auto wrecks and while your body can repair to an extent it does not come back to 100%.

the depression was related to no longer being able to race and Maria was from a racing family and grew up in the industry so was never what you could call a novice.

NASCAR might be considered a training ground for Forumula 1 in the way quarter midgets are trainers for NASCAR

but running F1 on a short oval like Daytona ...pffft.,,,,,,,,that is beyond dangerous it is idiotic

we love you Kevin and you have been one of the high points of this site throughout the years and we wish you luck in your future.

Gamespot has changed a lot over time. Is there really that much left for the mods to do?

Trion Worlds is lucky to have you.

this is a shame and he was very talented and while it is less common now than it used to be it is still a high risk sport.

and if you don't know anything about the man or the sport why bother posting?

Its not that high-risk anymore, its been 20 years since the last death, and no I'm not counting Massa's head injury where he couldn't race for a few GP's.

I said high risk and does not necessarily mean death although that is definitely a risk.

while it is true there are advances in technology and safety features the risk factor is one of the reasons many of these men and women become drivers.

Maria de Villota lost an eye in an accident not long ago and she was no novice. She was well respected and the daughter of one of the greats......eventually killed herself due to depression which is another occupational hazard and has happened to others when they could no longer compete.

Robert Kubika is still recovering from the wreck he had just 4 years ago.

accidents are not infrequent .........however probably not as common as in NASCAR though because these are not confederate flag waving cowboys who have been promoted from Banger Racing (Demolition Derby)

Ramadan and especilly Eid is a time of peace towards all and despite what you may read in some western media there is a very small percentage of Muslims that are part of the Islamic State and their enablers. their is a criminal element in all religions that misuse that religion for their own purposes....an example in Christianity would be televangelists of the United States which do not exist in any other nation. Their only purpose is to take money from people, even those who can not afford to give.
