You’d have to knock down the media centre and the whole of the paddock behind the pit wall would need to be moved back about 80 feet or more. It would be a huge amount of work. Have you seen how big a modern F1 garage complex is? 

Not least the pit lane at Watkins is too short and too small for an F1 pit lane. You’d have to completely redesign the paddock and the pits to even get enough garages in. Possibly even change the track.

There is less than zero chance of Laguna being made to Grade 1. It’s sorely lacking in run off in several places already.

A Lamborghini Trofeo race car can do 1:40 ish on new tyres on that config (the longer config is about 4 seconds longer but Buttonwillow is HELLA dependent on track conditions for times). So it’s fairly quick I guess? Considering how bad it looks like it handles and how off the driving is. But it’s not by any means a…

And yes, Simona was the one I was actually thinking of when I started that post (arguably the best of all of them, actually) so I am baffled I forgot to type her name.

“Yet, she’s had a 12 year professional racing career, and had absolutely no trouble getting seats in race cars.”

Calderon is a better driver than Jorda. But then, a mouldy bag of potatoes is a better driver than Jorda.

No she isn’t. She is one of the top 20 women drivers in profile, but anyone with google can easily find 20 more women drivers that have won more things or got better results and actually created more of an actual profile.

“former Lotus Formula One development driver Carmen Jorda talks about how women are less capable as racing drivers than me”

They may have guns, but the Swiss are not allowed to have ammunition. Do your research.

God, look at it shaking. Those kinds of engines always seem to be idling by accident. Like a rock tumbling down a hill. It’s no controlled, they just can’t stop rolling. Awesome. Coughing and spluttering and vibrating.

You can never tell in this place......

You crank race cars for oil pressure, usually. I thought it odd they left that bit in. Also, fuel rails and stuff are maybe not fully primed.

No, the anti-lag and launch control stuff is almost purely for Rally cars and nob ends that don’t understand what it is for. There really isn’t much call for Anti-lag on a race car.

Typical macho crap from the cops before after he demonstrates the car. They all came running over, interrupted him every time he spoke while asking him if he had a gun, then thay say “You’re wasting our time!” when they find out it was a car. He didn’t waste your time, if you’d asked the guy calmly he may have been a…

If he hadn’t screwed up Oak Tree and scrubbed a ton of speed off on the last corner it would have been comfortably in the 2:42's. Mid to low, I think.

The driver is an idiot. Of COURSE he was going too fast for conditions if he lost control on the ice. Because there was ice and he should have been aware of that due to the big white blanket warning him that it may be chilly.

Almost correct. IMSA won’t allow it in because it is a non-mainstream manufacturer AND KTM won’t pay the hilariously large fee to be allowed into the series...

Ok. We have a code red conspiracy issue, here....
