So you mean the Aston safety car performs just like the Aston F1 car?

A million bucks a year is pretty steep but if I had 23 weeks a year as a ringleader in the international traveling circus I sure wouldn’t want to schlep it in coach

I totally agree that streets courses are bad (even Monaco).  In addition to being bad for spectators, they are generally so narrow that they don’t allow for much passing and don’t have any runoff room, so racing incidents are likely to end races for most drivers.  They’re bad for racing, bad for drivers, and bad for…

“little skill involved” Tell me you’ve never driven down a drag strip without telling me you’ve never driven down a drag strip...

Rainbow Road - Extremely lax safety standards. No barriers at all (seriously guys?) And these big blocks that keep crushing drivers. Honestly I don't know how it got approved as a season closer.

While it woud be great to see F1 at the Glen, I agree it can’t really support something of that magnitude.

Paul Ricard. I didn’t even wake up for that race last year. It’s a mess to watch, too. Yawn.

F1 last raced in Watkins Glen in the 1980s, and circuit safety and entertainment standards have drastically evolved since then. There were even complaints in the final years WGI hosted the race that the circuit facilities and town accommodations weren't up to par

You might be right - I also have two small children and a wife who works on weekends, so my stance on F1 today may also be a form of defense mechanism.

It’s really an impressive fete

Yep, it sounds like they were essentially told that they could race or they could get detained in a country notorious for human rights violations. Which seems like an excellent reason to stop visiting countries notorious for human rights violations.

You’ve been playing the PS4 version on your PS5. On the same console, the PS5 version literally takes 1-2 seconds for fast travel, and I dunno about initial load, maybe 10-20 seconds? I haven’t played in a bit.

I’m very interested in what some of the drivers are going to say when everyone of the teams is out of that country.

They like bicycles and public transit.

Do you think the next stage going to be “that one guy in college who nobody wants to drive with because although he’s never crashed he just doesn’t give a shit about road signs or common decency so every trip is like being in an auto cross race”?

They are literally a bunch of kids writing here - the old ones are in their 30s. Youth really is wasted on the young.

Michigan Highway Patrol officers stumbled onto a local rust mine. Local news outlets and the department reports that a two-month-long investigation led authorities to a home where $2.30 worth of rusted Jeeps (35 in total) were stored.

I’ll admit to eating a little bit of crow on this one because I legitimately never thought I’d see any article critical of any EV published here.

I really hate this thing, but I’d rather see a Hummer EV over a coal rolling F350 brodozer with a Carolina squat that has never hauled a thing in its life.

I’ve had 5 different cars with manuals as my dailies, and I’ve driven others.  I’ve never encountered one that could not get started as described.  In point of fact, even if I get into a car I’m unfamiliar with, that’s how I start it off the first couple times so I can get a feel of where the clutch picks up.
