The CCTV would be very interesting indeed.

Comparisons with the 956 are a bit unfair to the 956. It was running in a fuel-limited rule set, with aero restrictions enforced, while the ID.R had no rules at all to adhere to, so it is fairer to compare it with the NIO or the 919.

Put the 956 on 2019 tires and it goes below 6 minutes(assuming you could find an owner and a driver willing to try it)

EVs tend to be heavier, although for such short distances that is very small difference.

The Ascona wasn’t an actual Group B car, it was carried over from Group 4 and was the only Group 4 car to beat Group B. However, with Opel not building a top class car again until 1987(Group S Kadett), they became irrelevant for the world championship, but the Ascona and the Manta were a dominant force in national…

In Germany, when the repair required to pass inspections becomes so expensive that it doesn’t make financial sense anymore, the car is usually sold to a shady used car dealer for 300 to 500€, who then proceeds to ship it to Bulgaria or somwhere further eastwards where it is then sold as very good condition.

There are no forged titanium wheels.

ETRC also has 160kmh limit

I included that in not wanting to advertise for the regime.

You should take a look at Hülkenberg. He started 17th because Renault had ruined his qualifying, and by the time Renault killed his race he was running sixth, having passed every midfield car other than Stroll. He really deserved those 8 points(and a better car).

Hülkenberg had a classic mechanical engine failure, and Ricciardo seemed to have some issue with the HV electrics, his car even displayed an unsafe state marker light.

Sauber or Alfa can’t put Ericsson back into that car, it is the seat that is reserved for a Ferrari-nominated driver by their Ferrari supply contracts. They axed Ericsson so that they could sign Räikkönen, and Ferrari replaced Leclerc with Giovinazzi. If they were to replace Gio, we’d probably see Pascal Wehrlein…

Sato is way too old.

They should run trans-Australia.

The Saudis seem to have their things in order regarding terrorists or other dangers, as long as you don’t run through Jemen the Route would be safe.

Quite sad how the race went from spending money along the route for humanitarian projects to racing for the highest bidder.

Exactly

Championships don't usually do it but junior programs of major teams or manufacturers do, so it makes sense that they would do it as the series is designed to act as a junior program

The safety regulations for EV road cars are very light. Apart from orange HV wires, there is not much to adhere to.

With the way that Argentinian football is currently operating, not having Messi for a while would actually help them.
