They must run their boats with some seriously tight tolerances.

Yeah, would love to see that.  *Much* longer straights, so would be interesting to see the comparison.  ‘Ring all the things!

Pagani is courting the Mustang demographic

Can you cheat in the unlimited class? Not sure of the rules, but didn’t think there were many. Waiting for Porsche to show up in their 919 Evo after they pull off their sub 5 minute Nurburgring run.

Great time to plug the late, great Brock Yates’ book on the Canonball: https://smile.amazon.com/Cannonball-Bk-M2633-Brock-Yates-ebook/dp/B004Q3QKX8/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1529939278&sr=8-9&keywords=cannonball

I can confirm this. Also, the Springs is the most 80's place this side of Xanadu for some reason. I’m not saying for sure that played a role in the crash, but it is a factor to consider.

Great photos!  So glad that pink Porsche won, too.

So true that just matting the accelerator is a lot of fun.  You always end up wanting the big power, but you just can’t floor it for long.

Totally... Also, not sure Sweet Baby Jesus is going to be super stoked on this probation.

Vehicross is definitely the sensible choice.  Good call.

That’s pretty great. I would love to see Simpson or another fire suit manufacturer step up and give this Dad-of-the-year a fire suit on the house!

Amen, brother

Oh, it’s going to be a lot of “whatever.”

How are the Belgians so good at soccer? There can’t be that many of them, even.

Well, he didn’t actually thank baby Jesus — just said that only baby Jesus would have been able to stop him — had he, mysteriously, so chosen to do. Not even hairy 30 something Jesus could have stopped him, I suppose. Or missing years Jesus, whatever he looked like. And why might baby Jesus even want to stop him? …

In this context is “sweet baby Jesus” being used ironically or was that part of Talladega Nights just that spot on?

The other 75% is people!

Good call. I celebrate their entire catalog, though.

Yep... the manufacturers seem to dig it, too. I think the DPi’s benefit from not getting blasted into the weeds by faster cars — which makes the WEC p2 guys obviously look like the JV.

Yeah, that makes sense. I just find the P2 cars themselves too boring, even though the semi-spec nature makes the racing very close. I’d rather those teams race GT cars. P1 with no manufacturer battles is not particularly interesting, either, to be honest. Hopefully they’ll get the formula dialed back in before too…
