If you are new to WhereDoesAllMyMoneyGo.com, every Friday I run a post called “A Lap Of The Blogs” which provides links to articles I found interesting and think that others may want to read for themselves. I also include some commentary on what’s going on in my personal life and a weekly “racing video” since my former life was in the auto-racing industry. The name “Lap of the Blogs” is in reference to “A Lap Of The Gods” which is an old video series which chronicled on-board footage of the world’s greatest F1 drivers lapping various racetracks from around the world.

Not much to report this week so I’ll get right to it…

This Week’s Racing Video

Found a bit of a gem from yesteryear. This week’s video is one of the smoothest drivers of all time (Jackie Stewart) narrating a lap around the famed Nordshcleife (also known as the Nurburgring), which has over 100 turns and laps are almost 10 minutes long. It was deemed to be much to dangerous for Formula 1 years ago. This clip is only two minutes but has some of the most beautiful footage I have seen from this era.
