The speed of the P1's was beyond my wildest expectations. Nice shots

I used to hate them and not get it, now I drive a 2016 Soul Red Club. I can’t speak for forum life (which is always the worst) but to me, a guy or gal with a Miata is someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. It’s hilarious and slow and non-car people think it’s a Ferrari or Lexus or that you like dudes…

Brainpower like this is wasted towing cars. That Donald man, he just gets the working class guy like me, ya know?

I’m a little disappointed Mr. Cartu is no longer listed as a self-appointed Ferrari test driver according to his twitter.

They both employ the same idiotic political tactics and both are senile, so this makes sense to me.

Brake cooling is a team’s decision, it’s not up to NASCAR to tell you not to run no/minimal brake cooling. Same goes with engine cooling etc.

I swear to the tiny baby Jesus in the sky that Bernie and the rest of the yahoos in F1 have the same 6 ideas they keep trying every 20 years. I hope the parking lot at Caesar’s is lined with bails of cash instead of hay this time. That was really where it went wrong the first time.

This almost seems like borderline intentional self sabotage- like hey I know this is not going to work and gas prices will go up, then I can scramble and find a buyer for what’s left and golden parachute out of this joint. The obsession with merging the company for the past two years wouldn’t just die.

Agreed. It’d be like Haas rolling into Australia and preparing their podium ceremony in March - not gonna happen. I think they really were thinking hey we can say anything to people who don’t know about racing and they’ll believe it. WEC fans are too knowledgeable to stand for it though.

I know suspension was a major issue as it was almost an afterthought, and it had some major porpoising issues aero-wise. My point is in the 8 MJ class unfortunately the leading car is crazy fast in the corners and crazy fast in a straight line. Le Mans is the best place for a car to try and be a straight line beast…

This thing never had the cornering speed to compete, it’s just never going to happen even with the hybrid system. Porsche’s 8MJ system is bonkers fast accelerating in a straight line and it also corners like a mofo. I think there is enough potential for innovation in the current P1 rules as far as powertrain, but you…

I don’t get fired up about movies, but if somebody tells me they thought Prometheus was a good movie they better put their dukes up.

Any justification for treating people like shit at a track is total bullshit. Everyone is there to do a job and fans pay the bills, so there are zero reasons to act this way. And I am not in a position at a NASCAR race where I ask permission to do anything. You’re a piece of shit if you want to work over a security…

Yeah almost all are ex college athletes, would not want to tangle with them. One pumping a jack 12” is no joke. I still tell my pit crew buddies its easy and the jiffy lube guys are faster. I can run fast.

Tradition, simply. Honestly pit crews are the most expensive thing after the hoop holder nowadays. A lot of teams have spent millions making clutched, billion RPM guns that look stock to gain time. It’s sort of part of the show at this point, most fans really like it. I would like to see us ditch fuel cans to be…

Really excited for another year of claims that this thing is going to lap the field at Le Mans and was going to try a lap record at Spa but the pavement at Eau Rouge would have disintegrated due to the incredibly innovative speed and downforce this thing produces. I’m assuming the radio silence from Ingolstadt and…

Multimatic Motorsports sir

Haha Sam rules, not the guy though. It’s time to grieve, she’s a goner.

You can’t see them because they happen on lap 5 in 20th place right before the old Honda in the back shuffles its mortal coil.

Has less to do with with pure budget or even winning, but I think they’ve realized there’s no possible way to make this car work and they truly have to go with something more conventional. The alternative is throw money after this thing and pray for a miracle, and they are so far off it’s a pipe dream at this point.
