Plenty of goodies this weekend, including the crown jewel that is Formula 1 at the majestic Yas Marina Circuit. Last years inaugural race showcased Vettel's dominance and Redbull Racing's vanquished reliability issues. This year will be another evening race under lights, but with the championship already decided the dynamic will be much different. The pinky ring of the weekend is the hour long special on the Porsche Rennsport Reunion. Porsche held this years fourth annual motorsport reunion at Laguna Seca, bringing an ungodly amount of their past racers, from the brutish 917s to more recent LMP1s. I posted a video from this event last week and will post more in the coming weeks, but I'm hoping this special will be better than all of the online content out there. Enjoy the weekend as well as the pole clenching (!) lap from the 2010 race.
