I’m not claiming Bernie has that kind of control, merely that the sort isn’t so egalitarian as we’d hope. No conspiracy, just a paddock and sponsor culture (who probably want racing to market to men, and don’t know how their market will react to a woman) that makes it more difficult for a woman than a man of equal

They don’t have to explicitly forbid it to discourage it. Though prohibition used to be the case. Team owners and drivers once tried to block Janet Guthrie from entering pit lane at Indy, for instance.

Connected enough to stand at the back of the garage for Lotus (a team on the brink of bankruptcy who needed money), not talented enough to race F1 (she scored 0 points in F3), and the best candidates just haven’t gotten the right funding in place.

There could be other reasons, but what other reason could there be that every single woman that has had a seat in a formula one car and taken it for a flying lap hasn’t come close to the times their male counterparts have in the same car?

I think it’s the opposite. I think the actual intrinsic difference in cars and racing is small compared to the observed size of the gap, and it’s that the environment is somewhere between unwelcoming and hostile which pushes many women away. And a lot of this is historical, remember that women weren’t allowed in

Right, I guess we’re agreeing. I was just confused since you seemed to be complaining that this was a problem for Chevy, which it clearly isn’t.

There is no such thing as GT1 or GT2 anymore.

1) The Cadillac GT program was axed after this season.

It all depends what they plan to race. I expect keeping Corvette Racing running a model of road-going Corvette to be key.

Names should be names. Real words. Proper nouns. Not meaningless serial numbers.

There’s a limit to the importance and need, though. You absolutely still need to be fit to run a GP, but above some threshold the advantage is negligible. The best proof is Robert Kubica who, despite having what has been described as partial amputation of his arm after his rally crash, is physically capable of running

Two options:

They already have a GT3, and are launching a new GTE car with 2-car programs in both IMSA and WEC. You can’t go any further in with GT than that.

The lawsuit itself was settled. I’m expecting the DeltaWing GT was never all that serious of a project, and was a ruse to force Nissan to pay up by proving damages.

You the real MVP.

WHERE’S MY DELTAWING ROAD CAR, DAMMIT!?

If you believe Trump/Pai’s telling of it: that the internet was completely unregulated before 2015, that the ISPs never caused issues before neutrality regulations came into force, and that the regulations slowed investment in infrastructure and are government overreach that stifles development.

And they literally only had to look one way before crossing...

And if you decide it’s still a good idea (it’s not), at least look up-stage to see if there’s a car coming.
