“I counter-steered, turning the steering wheel all the way to the right,”

I can see this - normal ‘get from here to there’ driving at speeds well within the capabilities of a car is not actually that hard. It’s just physics. If cars can accurately map roads and changing conditions (weather links, roadside condition monitoring from wifi boxes on street lights?) it shouldn’t be that hard.…

The ownership of Lambo has. The other? Not so much...

Three things -

Rossi had his arse handed to him when he raced in similar machinery to Gutierrez. Esteban hasn’t shown what he is capable of, yet. He’s better than he has shown so far, which is part of the reason he got the Ferrari job in the first place.

“half a dozen thieves spent less than seven minutes on each vehicle, probably using tools that pit stop mechanics use on race cars.”

The middle engine is 2.5T, which would logically be the turbo. Especially when you consider the high elevation benefits listed, as superchargers don’t adapt for altitude like turbos can.

I can probably assume from that you don’t play brass instruments?

Er. Nothing to do with the track conditions. It’s a sign of a superb driver keeping their vision where it needs to be...

“ Bernie Ecclestone told a few of us in a rain-delay roundtable meeting that he’d eventually like to have four races in the U.S. (very shortly after his “not enthusiastic” comments about the country)“

I like that Vettel always seems to have fun at these promo events. He enjoys being there and clearly just loves throwing a Ferrari around the track.

The Zytec was a better engine than the Roush, but that’s faint praise. The Roush was a pile of snot. A HEAVY pile of snot. Laughable as a proper race engine, whereas the Zytec was just a ‘not very good’ race engine and by the time Panoz had capitulated and accepted how terrible the NASCAR engine was, the revolutionary…

The Mark IV was american. The GT40 in general is considered British/American almost universally.

Um. So american? Despite being designed by an Englishmen (plus an Australian) and built entirely in England by an English company? Especially as it was only really competitive when they dropped the useless NASCAR engine and put an English one (the zytec) in?

Yes, they were MX6 lights.

“they weren’t quite prototypes,”

“Crap excuse for a deranged mutant and head honcho of Formula One Bernie Ecclestone now says”

Thrown? For sitting on or being chucked at?

Two things:

SOMEBODY has a backlog of stories....
