Australian Carrera Cup
It should perhaps be pointed out that Carrera Cup Australia is the marketting name, and that the Australian Carrera Cup Championship is the official name. By way of evidence I enclose a link to the Australian Carrera Cup Championship Sporting Regulations, as publishing by Australia's FIA recognised ASN, CAMS. --Falcadore (talk) 22:36, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Porsche Carrera Cup Australia ?
Don't get me wrong, I think Australia is great too, but I didn't think it was official yet. Also, is it really a good idea to add a now defunct Carrera Cup series to the Porsche template that collapsed because racing Porsches in Australia has become unaffordable? --Falcadore (talk) 07:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- Was you mean. Remember, defunct. And there's still no such country as Great Australia. --Falcadore (talk) 07:37, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Chinese Grand Prix, new Good Article
![]() The 2008 Chinese Grand Prix (formally the V Sinopec Chinese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 19, 2008 at the Shanghai International Circuit, Shanghai, China. It was the 17th and penultimate race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 56 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Ferrari driver Felipe Massa finished second, and Kimi Räikkönen was third in the other Ferrari. Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, led the Championship going into the race, and started from pole position alongside Räikkönen. Second in the Drivers' Championship, Massa began from third, next to Fernando Alonso of Renault. The first three drivers retained their positions into the first corner, but Alonso was passed by Hamilton's McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen. However, Alonso was able to regain the place midway through the first lap. Over the course of the race, Hamilton extended a considerable lead over the two Ferraris. Massa passed Räikkönen with seven laps remaining, to improve his chances of surpassing Hamilton's points tally at the final race in Brazil. The result extended Ferrari's lead over McLaren in the Constructors' Championship from seven to 11 points. Third-placed in the Drivers' Championship, Robert Kubica's sixth place at the Grand Prix eliminated his hopes of winning the Championship, and reduced his lead over fourth-placed Räikkönen to six points.

Article of the month - 2008 German Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate.
![]() The 2008 German Grand Prix (formally the LXVIII Großer Preis Santander von Deutschland) was a Formula One motor race held on July 20, 2008 at the Hockenheimring, Hockenheim, Germany. It was the 10th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 67 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Nelson Piquet, Jr. finished second in a Renault car, with Felipe Massa third in a Ferrari. Hamilton maintained his startline advantage and led until he made his first pit stop on lap 18. As other cars made their pit stops, Hamilton regained the lead on lap 22. On lap 36 Timo Glock crashed, and the race was neutralized by the deployment of the safety car. Hamilton, on a two-stop strategy, did not stop to get more fuel during this period, while all the cars around him did. Thus when he did eventually stop on lap 50, he rejoined the race in fifth. In the closing stages of the race, Hamilton overtook first his team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, then Massa, and finally Piquet, to take the lead again on lap 60, which he maintained to win the race. The victory was Hamilton's second consecutive win, having won the preceding British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The win put him ahead of his two main rivals in the Drivers' Championship, Kimi Räikkönen (who finished sixth) and Massa of Ferrari, who were on equal points with him before the race. After the race he was four points ahead of Räikkönen, and seven ahead of Massa. In the Constructors' Championship, McLaren drew closer to the two teams ahead of them, BMW Sauber and Ferrari. Ferrari still led by 15 points from McLaren, and 12 from BMW, whose drivers – Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica – finished fourth and seventh respectively.

Couple of things
I was just looking at your contributions and liked what I saw. Just one suggestion though: try to use an edit summary if you can for every edit? Secondly I noticed you didn't yet have the rollback facility on your account, so I have added it for you. Please have a read of that link before using. Best wishes, — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 23:38, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Moto Guzzi cleanup
Thanks for the trivia cleanup on Moto Guzzi. - Brianhe (talk) 00:47, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Trivia
For the record, I agree with your removal of the Pierce-Arrow trivia, but not the Studebaker stuff, some of which is (imho) very relevant to the article. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 13:08, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
- I removed it as according to this guideline, what I will do is ask you to read whatever linked and give you a week to think whether it is worth keeping that trivia, IMO, I don't really think it is really worth keeping. Donnie Park (talk) 14:57, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- On reflection, I agree with you. To illuminate my personal criteria--on 11th March and 28 March, I myself chopped into the worst trivia. However, yes, Wikipedia would definitely be a more succinct product without any of this type of semi-relevant info. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 15:20, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Maxwell and Mr. Benny
Hi. I reverted an edit of yours to Maxwell automobile. I support the concept of winnowing out truly trivial triva, but think this was far from such a case. I'd say the Jack Benny link is probably the most famous aspect of the Maxwell for at least 4 generations after the brand went under. Discuss possible ways of reworking at Talk:Maxwell automobile. Thanks. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 22:59, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
C4
Hello there, to save the back and forth, the WP:TRIVIA page (not the WP:CAR, my mistake)you pointed to originally states that you should attempt to incorporate any 'trivia' into the article and not just delete it. Of the three which existed the one I have left is notable in that it links to two wiki pages and are directly about the car itself rather than the shape of the headlights. Iamthenewno2 (talk) 10:36, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- Looking at that reinstated trivia, I don't think after reading this guideline is going to make me think it really worth keeping. What I suggest you to do is I will do is ask you to read whatever linked there and give you a week to decide whether it is worth keeping that trivia, IMO, I don't really think it is really worth keeping.

Article of the month - 2008 Turkish Grand Prix, new Good Article
![]() The 2008 Turkish Grand Prix (formally the IV Petrol Ofisi Turkish Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on May 11, 2008 at the Istanbul Racing Circuit, Istanbul, Turkey. It was the fifth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 58 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from pole position. Lewis Hamilton finished second in a McLaren, with Kimi Räikkönen third in the second Ferrari. Massa claimed pole, with teammate Räikkönen fourth, the two Ferrari cars sandwiching the McLarens of Heikki Kovalainen and Hamilton. At the first corner Räikkönen clipped Kovalainen's rear tyre and gave him a puncture. The safety car was deployed on the first lap, after a collision, but only remained out for one lap. During the course of the race, Hamilton, intending to make one more pit stop than both Ferrari drivers, was faster than Massa due to carrying a lighter fuel load and overtook him on lap 24. After Hamilton had made his third pit stop, he rejoined in second behind Massa but in front of the Championship leader, Räikkönen. Massa won the race, with Hamilton 3.779 seconds behind, and Räikkönen a further half-second behind. The two BMW Sauber cars of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld took fourth and fifth. In the week running up to the grand prix, the Super Aguri team had withdrawn from Formula One, due to financial problems, leaving the sport with only ten teams. Massa's victory was his third consecutive pole position and victory in Turkey, having also won the race from pole in 2006 and 2007. This was also Rubens Barrichello's 257th Grand Prix start, breaking Riccardo Patrese's previous record of 256. Due to the race result, Räikkönen's lead in the Drivers' Championship was lowered to seven points. Massa rose to second from fourth, whilst Hamilton dropped to third, both drivers tying on 28 points but separated by Massa's two wins thus far to Hamilton's one. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 22 points ahead of BMW Sauber, with McLaren a further two points behind in third.
