This is a huge deal for Jordan Racing. Losing those points totally burns their chances of taking home any reasonable prize money in 2018. prize money that would be crucial to their survival as a team. What bullshit. Midland just got pulled from the lake only to be left out in the cold to freeze to death. Spyker is in…

Trifolds are great. Pop two levers and it flips back. Need it off? Takes about 30 seconds. Way easier to deal with if you like your bed covered and only need to fold it back to reach something that’s slid towards the cab.

None of the problems I had were related to MODS.  They were all related to Mazda cutting corners.  

Actually...

There’s a pretty big reason IndyCar is not pursuing the halo:

Depends: Do you consider reality TV as art?

Well if you’re going to assume I’m a knuckle dragging redneck you can just piss off mate.  I’m not continuing this any more.  You refuse to offer numbers and assume that because I’m American I must be an idiot or “don’t get it.”  Whatever you racist prick.  

It’s a great way to get into racing too. Find a local track.  They all have beginner spec classes so you don’t have to spend a bucket load on a car and tuning.  Right now Tamiya TT-02s are hot as a spec class.  You can buy a complete kit for $300 or so and the rules limit you to Tamiya only parts.  Repair parts are…

If you know winter is coming up, GET YOUR TIRES EARLY. If you wait until the day before a snowstorm to replace your tires (whether it’s buying new all seasons because your current tires are bald or buying actual snow tires), if you wait until the day before, you’re going to be waiting in line for hours. Appointments…

Yes, Renault are a second slower than Red Bull Racing right now, but they are still closing in. And it’s funny you say that Renault’s conventional turbo system has no potential to beat Honda. Clearly Ferrari disagree because they too use a conventional turbo, and they have the best engine on the grid. And that’s not…

You mean the team that has already scored more points in 2018's first 12 races than they did in the last two seasons combined?  Or is it the team that, in those same 12 races, is 4th in the championship?  Is it the team whose driver is 7th in points?  I think they know mate, that’s why they went after Ricciardo.  And…

I owned one of these cars. Amazing to drive. Awful to own. The second must unreliable turd I’ve ever had (top spot was a 240SX project which should show you just how low the bar is for me). I owned it for less than a year. 4 months were pure driving bliss. The final 6 were spent not driving it because it kept breaking…

In an ideal world, where DOTs program lights properly and size roads appropriately, and drivers pay attention to where they’re going, DDIs work beautifully. In reality, the cross flow through the DDI bottlenecks traffic along that road, especially if the lights further out aren’t timed well. The change in lane numbers…

Fast laps and poles mean NOTHING. All that counts is who scores more points and right now, that’s Ricciardo. They’ve got the same number of starts and DNFs and Ricciardo is ahead. If you’re not there for the last lap, the rest of the race doesn’t mean a damn thing.  Just ask Vettel in Germany.

I think you have a few details wrong. Yes, Max is faster over a single lap, but who has won more races and who has more points? You can win every single pole in your career, but points mean prizes. The big thing I think you are incorrect about is that Ricciardo is copying Verstappen’s setup. It is very much the other…

Helmut Marko says a lot of dumb shit too.  Most of the reports said Vettel chose not to take his extension into 2015.

Not a traditional customer yes, but they’re still not a true factory team. There are a lot of little details that are going to cause issues in managing the two very separate groups at Honda and Red Bull. See the interaction between McLaren and Honda. The relationship between STR and Honda is a lot better, but RBR is…

I think you missed a really key point in this essay and the one that I would argue is the most important: Max Verstappen. Max, in Red Bull’s eyes, is the next Sebastian Vettel. One look at Vettel’s five years is all one needs to know about why Ricciardo decided to leave now. Vettel is very much a political player and…

Seems you missed the utter sarcasm dripping from every word of my post.  I bet you feel foolish.
