Week of the gods ⚡️

Image
First off, the title of this post is not random. It was specially hand picked, because the events of the week were in one word, DIVINE. 'Week of the gods' is directly gotten from Ayrton Senna's unbelievable opening lap at the 1993 European Grand Prix. That particular lap was named 'lap of the gods' (see what I did there 😉). Senna went from fifth to first place in treacherous weather conditions on that lap and that was exactly how my week went.

He dominated F1 in his time, died doing what he loved and his death brought about a lot of reforms to motorsports. I will have to do a proper piece on Senna's short but amazing life. Before that article, you can watch the movie Senna if you're so eager to know more about him. Ayrton Senna; Source: France 24 Sunday - The Turning Point S...

F1 THE MOVIE (The Overdue Review)

Hey TurboNerdz, how have you been? I made a discovery from the last post that you guys enjoy the stories way more than the car stuff, lol. The third anniversary post had little or nothing to do with actual cars and yet it garnered my most views so far. Since y'all enjoy and are here for the stories, I am going to be taking the lifestyle approach henceforth. I will be giving you a mix of the medical and automotive life. On that note, welcome back to my YouTube channel guys 😂, before I dive into the automotive gist for today, I'll give a brief of what has been going on in my life as a final year medical student. Best movie of the year so far; Source: TopGear How's Medical School Been? For starters, I am currently in Abeokuta for my psychiatric posting at the Neuropsychiatric Hospital Aro, Abeokuta and it has been a 'crazy' experience, all pun intended 😅. Jokes aside, the posting kicked off being hilarious while listening to the outlandish stories of patients, but ...

Big 3: From Escape to Expression ✍🏽

Three years down and a lifetime to go, this isn’t just TurboNerdz, it’s my story on wheels… Three Wheels then, Two Soon… Since the conclusion of my exams, I’ve had a writer's block. I knew the 3rd anniversary of TurboNerdz was fast approaching, but I found it difficult to pen down anything. More like I was so exhausted from the exams that afterwards I didn't even want to read a signpost, let alone compose a blogpost. For something that unofficially kicked off in 2020 by posting random car facts on my WhatsApp status, it's truly been one hell of a ride. I decided that this post would be an appreciation for the journey so far, making it as raw as possible. The Duality: Medic and Automotive Journalist The Journey So Far In the last blogpost titled  automotive catchup with turbonerdz , I reiterated how writing served as an escape during my first professional exams. At some point, I was doing more of writing than reading, until I was able to strike a balance. I want to give a bi...

Automotive Catch-up with TurboNerdz

Image
I initially took a break from writing because of my exams, but I had also forgotten that writing has been my coping mechanism during exams. A f un fact is that I started this blog on the 31st of August 2023 , just about a month to my first MB;BS exam. Since then it has  served as a temporary escape, before burying my head back in the books. It's been over a month since I wrote, so I decided to escape the matrix with what I have coined 'Automotive Catch-up with TurboNerdz.' So what exactly has been happening in the automotive world at home in Nigeria and abroad? Let's dive in... Lewis Hamilton Lost his Podium Streak at Silverstone For those who know me well, they know that while the World debates on Ronaldo VS Messi, my one and only G.O.A.T remains Sir Lewis Hamilton,  the seven time Formula 1 World Champion. Not to sing too much of his praises, I'll go straight to the point. So, Silverstone is a race track at Towcester, UK and it is  currently the only formula 1 rac...
