Sort of, but BMW was always overpriced in the US market and for a long time overpriced meant more luxurious and German was a byword for quality instead of unreliability and a horrible tendency towards over-engineering.

The “well actually” people I saw in the Guardian comments section pointed out that she didn’t score as much this year as she has in the past, due to the World Cup happening during the NWSL season.

Difficult to make poorer ones than that kid.

He’s pretty dedicated to doing DTM, where he’s more at home and where the series is on the upswing after a few down years thanks to Aston getting in and their work with SuperGT on multi-class special events. Alex Zanardi even came 13th at the last DTMxSuperGT race at Fuji, albeit due to an absolutely chaotic restart…

Fanboost has never actually mattered in any race because it turns out popularity contests have nothing to do with which driver has a chance to win the race. It’s not only a stupid idea, it’s absolutely ineffectual as well.

There have been a few

Formula 1 was basically the european championship for decades though, rarely going anywhere off that continent.  US, Australia, Brazil, and South Africa, at various times, until they started expanding.

Yeah, the problem with a show like this is what Patrick acknowledges: It takes a few years to hit the stride and work out the dynamic. History channel TGUSA got canned right as they found their pace. It wasn’t as good as TGUK but it was better than Top Gear Australia ever was frankly.

Motortrend now owns the US rights to Top Gear, and provides every episode for streaming. So they’re the only ones who can make a Top Gear show now.

I always know him as the blind astronomer from Contact.

Yes, there was an entire episode of Grand Tour where they responded to complaints about being too scripted by doing an “unscripted” show.

These things are absolutely the offroad equivalent of a track day car, and their pricing places them dead square in line with that.

This is my perception at the moment as well. If FCA had a serious problem with ROXORs then they would have stepped in before they went on sale. Now, they have to sue to prevent anyone else from thinking they can do it and probably hope that at the same time they can squeeze a licensing agreement out of it because the…

The biggest worry I have for Mazda’s new models, particularly the 3, is that the early reports on test drives that I’ve seen on motorsports enthusiast sites, blog comments, forums, etc is that they aren’t tuned for handling like they have been in the past. They’ve tried to tune it for comfort to go with the luxe…

How about platinum?

Initial reaction was to check the byline, weirdly not FK?? Ok

If sports radio is anything to go by (lol) the current rumors are that Belichick will be retiring not long after Brady does, unless he wants to go to another team for what would presumably be a gargantuan pile of cash.  I wouldn’t underestimate their working relationship and the stability it’s given the team.

Everyone has dashcams so every crazy thing is on video.

I think that actually might be their plan once Lewis leaves and they release their F1-based hypercar, considering that every German maker (including them) has joined FE.

Albon really is the real deal, he’s got the pace and he’s extremely level-headed and willing to criticize himself and take the blame when appropriate. Max is often an aggressive hothead, which you want in a young racing driver, but you need the dependable level-headed teammate to make sure you can still get the points…
