5. Nurburgring gets a paint job
The famous 13-mile race long track in Germany had to be closed back in April 2013 after an act of vandalism on the grandest scale.
Although graffiti is common, officials were not expecting to find a giant penis drawn onto the tarmac, alongside the word ‘Danish’ – aimed at an unpopular Danish driver.
The track was closed for some time as a paint stripping machine was brought in to try and restore decency.
6. French weather reporter does it in the buff
Ahead of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, France were on the verge of failing to reach the tournament they won back in 1998, trailing Ukraine 2-0 after the first leg of their play-off.
In fact French weather reporter Doria Tillier was so certain that the nation wouldn’t qualify that she said she would do the next report naked if they did.
Needless to say the country triumphed 3-0 in the second leg and reached the competition and Tiller stood by her word.
