You can't get two words out about motorsport these days without somebody complaining that it's all about who has the fastest car rather than who is the best driver.

But while there's a partial element of truth to that, anyone who really knowns their motor racing will be able to tell you that there's an awful lot more to it than that.

And now we have proof.

The proof in question comes courtesy of driver Leh Keen, a racing driver who has finished on the podium at the Le Mans 24hr and won the Grand-Am GT championship in an illustrious career.

He strapped on a helmet camera to give a true

You can't help but feel a bit sorry for referees, particularly in amateur matches.

I mean, really. Who would do it? You've got all the inconvenience of peeling yourself off the sofa on a Sunday morning to get up and out of the house and changed into kit, but none of the fun of actually playing football.

Then there are the abusive players, who seem to believe that abusing and threatening refs - at any level of the game - is a victimless crime. No doubt it's behaviour they've copied from the pros on TV - but while it might be understandable for those whose livelihoods depend on the outcome of

Kevin Durant's back tattoo

You know what it's like getting people in to do work. Will they show up on time? Will they rip you off? Will they end up flooding the kitchen and electrocuting the cat?

But at least when you're getting people in to work on the house, any mistakes they make can be easily rectified. Such is not the case when hiring a tattoo artist, as NBA superstar Kevin Durant found out this week.

The Oklahoma City Thunder star - one of the highest-paid athletes in the world - recently Tweeted a photo of his new back tattoo. It consists of a passage from James 1:2-4 illustrated with a haunting woodcut-style

When it comes to making fans and media alike lovestruck in sudden and spellbinding fashion, Germany's Bundesliga has ticked all the required boxes in this, its 50th season.

Dazzling, attractive, marketable football? Check.

Success on a European platform? Check.

Television coverage on a major British channel? Check.

Endearingly-sensible business model and affordable pricing scale? Check.

Young, dashing, charismatic and perhaps even sexy managers? Check.

Brutal and uncompromising destruction of the previous concensus darlings? Check.

Of course, this checklist has almost entirely been chalked

Bayern Munich would not have brought in Josep Guardiola to replace Jupp Heynckes if they knew they were in line for a historic treble, according to former Bayern director and six-times Grand Slam tennis winner Boris Becker.

Becker lives in London these days, but spent 10 years on the board of the club he has supported since his childhood in an advisory capacity after concluding his glorious tennis career.

Becker has already placed a bet on Bayern beating Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in Saturday's all-German Champions League final at Wembley Stadium as part of an "ambassador" role with an online

Kevin Durant of the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder has quietly given away a huge sum to the tornado relief effort in the state.

The man who finished second in the NBA's MVP voting to LeBron James has pledged $1 million through the The Durant Family Foundation to help those devastated by the damage.

The massive tornado on Monday afternoon flattened entire blocks of the town, killed at least 24 people and injured about 240 in Moore, Oklahoma.

Durant only commented on his donation after it was revealed by the Red Cross of Oklahoma on Twitter.

Sir Alex Ferguson will make an astonishing £100,000-a-day as a Manchester United ambassador, a report claims, and he has his son to thank for brokering the deal.

Ferguson will be paid £2m-a-year by United to continue working for the club but is only expected to make 20 appearances a year according to the Daily Mail.

The deal was brokered by Fergie's son Jason despite Manchester United having previously said they would no longer do business with him.

The respected Charles Sale reports in the Mail: "Jason’s disbanded Elite Sport ceased to act on United transfers following an internal inquiry

Of all the things to love about Barcelona, their catchy club anthem is surely up there with their fluid play, massive list of accolades, beautiful location and that bloke called Lionel.

But this musical Barca fan has added another dimension of awesome to the tune by replicating it using nothing but a bunch of bottles of local beer Estrella, emptied to varying degrees to produce the different notes.

How spot on, or not at all, do you think this chap got it? Here's a link to the real thing so you can compare.
