It’ll be interesting to see if this ends up functioning any different than LMP1h vs LMP1.  A bit hard to trust them to get the balance right when recent history would suggest it turns into a farce. I’ll cut the FIA/ACO some slack though.  Tough to put it all together when you have to seek the input of likely…

You’re telling me this guy didn’t have a Jeep for ski trips?  Hard fail Denver.

For a politician who’s honest I imagine “We’re keeping everything shut down no matter the consequences” to be a hard sell when so little is known. Don’t know if a vaccine will be effective, don’t know when one will come, don’t know if the virus will mutate, don’t know how effective new treatments will be, don’t know…

Just got The Last Road Race by Richard Williams in the mail. Covering the 1957 Pescara Grand Prix.

Five years after the Recession we had Audi vs Toyota vs Porsche at Le Mans and fast lap records. Maybe after a bad time people inevitably, eventually, want to get out and show what is possible, to push harder than ever and reach new limits.
What Todt thinks the FIA will do for a motor sport New Deal is pretty curious.…

Were 60% of the cars sold Merc E, BMW 5, or Lexus GS’s?  Lots of things are expensive.

I’m just saying, I don’t think its unfair to question why the standard Jalopnik writer’s take on the issue of congestion is to ban cars.
Nothing about the congestion argument necessarily revolves around where you enjoy driving, but where you are free to drive. Just because I don’t enjoy taking route x by car in a given…

I think there’s actually quite a few. There was driving in Lucca, the episode where Jeremy tries to build a car even smaller than the Peel P50, the single tank of fuel challenge, the stretch limo challenge, cheap Porsche episode, I forget which episode but I remember James trying to park a big luxury vehicle on a hill…

At the same time, they never take a pro-car solution to any of the car related problems. “We have congestion, well the only answer must be to eliminate cars.”  They were presented with a problem and they take the solution which requires the least amount of thinking and effort and is the least friendly to auto…

That’s because it takes latent demand and turns into realized demand.
Closing streets doesn’t reduce congestion because it is more efficient at handling this demand, it lessens the demand overall.  I’d expect this to be truer in America than most of Europe because space and population spread are major factors.

You dunked so hard bro!

4th Gear: Is there an automobile in there somewhere?
Neutral: No. The only places you could pretend it might seem feasible in my area would see the economy of the area nosedive without the traffic from Jalop’s.

Sounds good, see you in a few weeks.  

Dude, MO began reopening today so I’ll assume nothing you said was accurate.  KC doesn’t begin until the 10th...  You know stuff?

Waiting for the evidence Richard Komi wasn’t a Republican plant

Damn, *checks the arguing over Brett Kavanaugh* this sounds like 2018...

There’s nothing reported in the motorsport article that makes it seem like Formula E wouldn’t run a race as soon as someone would let them. Sounds mostly like scheduling issues not lack of desire from Formula E. It seems there would be a lot of obvious reasons why it’d be more difficult for them to scramble for…

So, time?
Formula E is trying to get plans together to do exactly what NASCAR is doing, run a race at a permanent track closed to spectators.
I feel pretty confident speculating that NASCAR wouldn’t be running at Darlington on the 17th if they’d transformed it into a temporary hospital, which from the article is the…

Unlike NASCAR, Formula E seems to be exercising the correct amount of caution

This seems to be a common thought. I don’t understand why.
There may be plenty of good reasons to move to electric, but historically cheap oil is not one nor the trigger. This is not how the market works.
