“70 miles off the Russian Shoreline”....How do you know where they were?

We do differ, lol. For me the one-car-at-a-time qualy had the same kind of television presence as say, golf. But Im remembering from a long time ago.

Just..wow. Any other Wax Trax! releases in your collection?

But qualy is such a key element in the race-to-race “story” that defines the season: post-race chatter, interim chatter, rumors and development news, practice (hopes and hint at what’s to come), qualy (suspense, and partial proof of whose advanced and who has not) and the race—the culmination.

It was botched because they made the change to get more fans. Gaining new fans with changes like this is a fantasy. Only current fans can bring new audiences.

Im getting the impression that the FIAs attempts to make the racing “better” —and attract new audiences— assume new fans and followers come into the sport by hearing something, and deciding to watch on their own.

Chicago—what a city...

In the realm of car fan content, there is a continuum which runs from interesting/clever stunts, challenges and vignettes, to classic moronic behavior, antics, hijinx...(lol)

I said, “fine cars.”

Uh. Lol-no.

Can we please distinguish between “use” versus “abuse?” Abusing fine cars is cheap trick that real car enthusiasts shouldn’t fall for.

Thank you for posting this. While watching the heads of state and their motorcades, I found the sentries moves and protocols far more fascinating and wanted to learn more.

The author’s point was, at the expense of vanity, they missed a golden and rather obvious opportunity to make the car not only beautiful and efficient, but *supremely* useful as well.

Watch the ratings grow..and grow again after they introduce another qualy tweak for Shanghai.

...with the current state of the art batteries, yup. 100%

I think this will actually increase the number of people tuning into qualy...to see how bad it might be...and then they’ll tweak it for Shanhai, and still more will watch. The sponsors and broadcast rights owners will be doing cartwheels.

The current formula does include capturing (rear) braking energy to charge the on-board battery bank..

I just had to share this picture of the front brake housing and cooling apparatus from last year’s and this year’s McLaren.

Idiot... Yes 46g is very high.
