I really don’t get why Bykolles isn’t a P2 team... running a P1 team is clearly more expensive and this is not a team flush with cash. I don’t get it.

You speak the truth. That said the events at larger open air stadiums are much better than the ones inside arenas.

Now we just need someone to get him a ride for the Coke 600 in Charlotte that night!

Seriously: shame on F1 and shame on Indycar. Jules Bianchi and Justin Wilson have been dead for almost 2 years and we STILL don’t have fucking proper head protection for open wheel racecars. Fuck your stupid sense of pride and tradition; the world would be a better place with these two guys in it than it is without…

Reminds me of Sheldon Adelson.

Who is Kate Bishop?

Kevin Magnussen got some points for Hass! That was a damn good race, there was action all over the place. I’m not terribly disappointed with how racy these new cars are. Overtaking isn’t easy, but then again it really shouldn’t be.

Prototype is still pretty dull though, the Caddys are still head and shoulders above everyone, though the Mazdas were close.

Good lord this race was a cluster from start to finish. Pretty entertaining though.

OH GOD

Back in my FSAE days, we were thrown for a loop when the competition was moved from Ford’s proving grounds in Romeo to MIS. MIS is in the middle of nowhere, the closest town is Jackson. Having never been there before, I tried my best and rented a Holiday Inn.

IT HAD A HOLIDOME LIKE THIS. But it was the most…

In order to complete the trolling of David Tracy, they need to take it to Moab.

I’ve been to several weddings and copped to not getting a gift at all of them. Universal response:

Hmmm. In modern day endurance racing 9 retirements would be a lot, but it wasn’t that long ago when 1/3 to 1/2 of the field being retired or having spent a significant amount of time behind the wall wasn’t terribly uncommon.

Less enamel = less weight. Science.

Doyle or Easterbrook?

“Also, they’ve had another crack at the engine and promise that it’ll be better this year, if only so they can optimise the packaging in order to shove it up Christian Horner’s arse.”

Poetry.

It’s becoming anti-biotic resistant.

The relieved “holy shit” at the end was pretty funny too.

What I find particularly insane is that they’re proposing a bill that would cut back benefits to old people. Old people vote (since they don’t have anything better to do), so that is going to end really, really badly for them.

Yea, that all makes sense its just surprising that “hey the brakes don’t last and fail a lot.” isn’t something that came up during testing. If they weren’t simulating race conditions, what was the point?
