There's a good bit of variety in the forecast for this weekend. Jaw dropping Isle of Man racing is finally current, albeit delayed on HD Theater. ALMS and IndyCar pay a visit to Mid-Ohio for a weekend of high end motorsport. SPEED replays the seat swap special where Lewis Hamilton and Tony Stewart swap offices for some hot laps; this is worth a watch but not thrilling by any means. A new episode of The Car Show, which is actually decent despite the obvious lack of budget. Lastly, a couple of specials that you should definitely check out; Classic Car Club is another UK based show that takes a comprehensive look at vintage motors, via auction/used car sales, owner specific and driving impressions.

An eclectic mix of viewing material this weekend. A replay of amature racing series The Mustang Challenge, more insane Isle of Man action, vintage auto auctions, qualifying for the legendary Indy 500 and the next chapter of the Formula 1 2011 Championship saga. Due to my tight schedule I didn't watch the Turkish Grand Prix on DVR until yesterday; what an intriguing start to the season it has been. McLaren seems to have figured out some things and are scratching on the door that Red Bull Racing has built (and is currently reinforcing with steel). Ferrari's Alonso and Masa have a competitive package, but they just can't get on the podium. One thing is for sure, if Vettel keeps putting checkered flags and pole positions in his pocket, his points lead will put the rest of the field in a chase for 2nd place.
