Monday Morning Rundown: The Internet is Dumb

So I have been trying to put together The Rundown here and the Internet isn’t exactly being cooperative. I will see what I can muster here before my screen goes grey again………

I will admit that I somewhat forgot about Formula One going to India this year. There were lots of on again, of again stories that came out at the beginning of the year due to track issues, etc. Well it looks like everything has been sorted out and the F1 circuit stops in India this upcoming weekend for the first ever Indian Grand Prix. The event will take place at the newly built Buddh International Circuit.

I know all of our readers love the Pussycat Dolls. Here at DODOlogic we spend a lot of time listening to Nicole and the gang, well not actualy. That being said, Nicole Scherzinger has called it quits with Lewis Hamilton. What does this mean? I’m not sure, but it gave me a reason to post a pic of Nicole.  You’re welcome.

There is talk that F1 will announce the addition of a second U.S. date to it’s 2013 calendar.  It looks like a temporary street course in Weehawken, New Jersey with the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop.  The rumour mill tells us the announcement will take place sometime in the next week.

The Rally de Espana, or the Rally of Spain for us non-spanish types took place on the asphalt and gravel roads of the Salou region of Spain this past weekend.   Sebastien Loeb took the top spot on the podium while Mikko Hirvonen placed second and Jari-Matti Latvala finished third.  There is only one round of the 2011 calendar left and that takes place in England Novenmber 10-13.

The 2011 Race of Champions will take place in early December at Düsseldorf’s ESPRIT Arena in Germany.  Travis Pastrana will make up one half of Team USA as he takes on some of teh most skilled drivers in the world in a crazy stadium setup.  I will have more info on the event in the coming weeks.
