Venezuela is going down

Venezuela, a country with huge quantities of oil and other resources that can push this country to be the 'leader of America, currently is a country that is going down to the bottom day by day.
Venezuela lost its path some years ago. Off course all the country is not looking in that way, but the most is blinded about all the opportunities they would have in the world to conquer other markets or to be a political pole.
For sure Venezuela already lost its potential. Starting for its President...they have President?

Well in theory someone won last october the presidential elections and must attend a possession during the last month, but nothing happened!
There are some 'leaders' that say that they are attending instructions of their boss. But this is true?

There is not way to obtain a certain answer. But the only thing to say yes would be a proving of that! Proving that doesnt exist. 
Without a real leader Venzuela is lost.
Without taking into account all the failures the government have, a government that doesnt tell the truth tends to disappear.
So, Venezuela have few chances to be the axis of a continent. Currently they loose all the chances.

Dakar organizers challenge

The most difficult race around the world (Rally-Raid Dakar) just finished two weeks ago in Santiago, Chile.
This year's race was great! But at the end the winners were the same as the last year. In cars Peterhansel (MINI), in motorbikes Despres (KTM) and in quads Patronelli (Yamaha).
The route was hard. It started in Perú, then Argentina and finally Chile, trough its deserts.
There's a lot of sand in those countries but there are not as many changes year by year since it arrived to S America some years ago.
The routes can be the same.
There are huge differences between Europe-Africa race and South America one!
There in Africa there is a lot of sand of the Sahara and the routes can be different. (Taking into account that Dakar were there 20+ years).
The challenge of the Dakar organization is to return to Africa!
In America they can design different routes (Bolivia, Brazil and Colombia) but is not in off for this race.

6 hours of emotions

The most important auto racing race in Colombia took place, as the last 27 years, last december 8th.
That race was in Tocancipá Speedway. And its principal characteristic is that the duration is 6 hours.
The race was the best I ever seen. In my opinion is the most competitive because in four categories there were good cars with good divers. A Daytona Protoype won the race and that was the fastest car during the 6 hours.

Here some pictures to describe the race.

Good end of 2012 Formula 1 season

The last race of 2012 season, in Interlagos, can be described in few words. It was simply great. Taking into account the long season with 20 races and all the good drivers in very good cars, 2012 was awesome.

But now looking Sâo Paulo, it was as it was predicted. Rainy.
There are many facts that made Interlagos intersting. Starting because the Driver's Championship wasn't decided. Sebastian Vettel had before the race 13 points with the second, Fernando Alonso. Alonso must finished in the podium, and Vettel with few points. That situation happened the most of the race, but finally Vettel did a good job and now he is the World Champion for 3rd time with Red Bull Racing - Renault.

Another fact is that Interlagos was Michael Schumacher last F1 race in his life. After 20+ years he started running he is almost done.

Another special situations were that Sâo Paulo's race was the last for Lewis Hamilton in McLaren (who will drive next year in Mercedes), last race for Sergio Pérez in Sauber (who will drive next year in McLaren).

The rainy forecast in Interlagos decided the race. Tyre strategy was really important. Both Red Bull Racing - Renault and Ferrari failed in their strategies. But Finally they could know what to do.
Vettel had a terrible incident in the 1st lap. Fortunately he could continue driving. There were more incidents. Hamilton was beaten by german Hulkenberg (Force India), who made a good race. The best of the year.
Mark Webber, Vettel's partner drove in a bad way.

Vettel Won. He did a good job all the year with a good car. Alonso in the second position, in the Championship, did the best all the year but without the car to give a real battle. Raikkonen in 3rd position run as he knows. Hamilton showed he is a very good driver.

Next season will be better. There will be great drivers in nice teams!
