My favorite Paul Newman memorabilia related story is still that of his Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. This was the watch that Joan Woodward had given him as a present with the words “Drive Carefully Me” engraved in the back, as a reminder for him to stay safe when he was racing. That watch eventually became one of the most…

FWIW, it looks like they’re running F2 cars, so they can always just claim that it’s meant to be some other event that’s not F1.

Wasn’t C. Viper from IV African American? Or was she just really, really tanned?

Apparently, Gaiman has stated that it doing the eyes that way didn’t look right and it robbed Sturridge of his ability to use his eyes to act.

Except Mario Kart had its own drift mechanic, which in earlier installments was open to even more levels of git good with snaking.

Alonso timed his move for maximum chaos. Looks like he was aware that Piastri’s contract was ending on the 31st of July so announced his move to Aston just as that deadline expired, all while knowing that the latter (and his manager Mark Webber) were talking to McLaren.

I keep wondering if America just doesn’t have enough of a cultural connection to Godzilla for a western release to have the same level of story as something like Shin Godzilla. That Japan’s post-war culture and the big G’s place in it make it easier for creators to do more with the character, and with Kaiju films in…

Imaishi is a big part of why I’m looking forward to this.

This isn’t just Taylor, a lot of private jet owners loan them out to help offset the cost of ownership/maintenance.

Four hours after the flag is still longer than two hour s and forty minutes. Spa last year was longer despite taking only 2 laps.

Besides, the point still stand in that why is an endurance racing series running a sprint in such an iconic track, when it could have had a proper endurance race at Indy.

The IMSA Battle on the Bricks will be a two-hour and forty-minute race

Stuff like this happens in sports as well, even in the big ones. Just look at the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix where a the race director—the guy with final say on all decisions—made a very questionable interpretation of safety car rules that went against standard procedure, and essentially affecting the outcome of…

There’s an old animé analogy for this. Most players think their campaigns will end up like Record of Lodoss War (which itself started from the creator’s own D&D sessions), but what they usually end up with is more like Slayers.

Funny you mention automakers since they’ve made some of the most bone headed UI decisions in recent years. The biggest being moving to touch screens and then hiding some of the most basic controls within layers of menus on slow interfaces. And that’s before the recent trend of some automakers locking features, such as…

Because Bernie doesn’t own it anymore. It’s owned in part by some holding company and in part by Bernie’s ex-wife Slavica.

Instead of “fuel” stops, they need to bring back tyre changes, considering how shit the “all-season” tyres they’re currently using are in certain conditions.

Need to point out that there are certain legal restrictions on dashcams in some countries/jurisdictions. These can range from simply not being allowed to share footage from the cameras online, to actually requiring special permits to use them (the most well known example being a certain public road/racetrack in…

They want a car feature that’s inherently inefficient, outputs stupid amounts of heat, and takes up an absurd amount of space in the car.

Your cat looks like it’s about to use the safeword in that last photo.

It might seem confusing that a driver could win a race despite crashing out. Technically, when a race is ended early, the person in first place is not automatically declared the winner. According to Article 41.9 of the FIA Formula E Sporting Regulations, “If the race cannot be resumed the results will be taken at the…
