Race of Champions, Wembly Stadium

I attended the Race of Champions with Noel and Gillies on Sunday. All the big names like Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button and Sebastien Loeb were competing. Lewis Hamilton also gave the audience a show in his McLaren F1. It was all show and no go since it was unable to get any traction. There was also stunts performed in a TVR, Evo 10, BMW Road Bike and motorcross bikes.
Sebastien Loeb ended up winning the overall competition, defeating David Coulthard in the finals. It was also the coldest night ever in London. All I was wearing were jeans and a hoddie; definitely experienced some shrinkage.
This last few days has been painful, coughing and sneezing.

On the good side, I have purchased all my snowboarding clothing for France and even a set of walkie talkies to communicate to others when I am carving up the powder. But seriously, I’m crap so have signed up for snowboarding lessons. I figured, since I’m going to be there for 6 days; may as well try to get good at it.
