Totally missed the original post, so I’ll add one here hoping someone finds it amusing.

Let me clarify, fuck everyone in the tow of parked cars industry. The folks that ONLY do accident/break-down towing, that aren’t creeping around looking for random cars to tow are just fine.
Ugh. I had a car towed in Atlanta once, as I was meeting friends for lunch after which I was driving home to Tampa. I found the number for the tow company after finding the the vine-covered and completely hidden “No Parking” sign. They gave me directions to the tow yard and said they were closing in about an hour.…
Still a cheaper and better than any anti-theft system on the market. And it’s organic and renewable, so he’s saving the earth. Go green. With snot.
But he did use a turn signal when pulling off the road before the incident and again when pulling back on to leave, so... that’s 1000% better than most fuckboys, right?
I have my reasons! Ferrari gave me millions and millions of reasons to help develop their junior team. In fact it’s many more millions of reasons than they gave me while racing at Ferrari.
In the end, I don’t think it’ll make a difference in ticket sales to either event. Sure, it sucks for a small number of people who would definitely go to both (rather than just saying would go to both...). But you what? If you really must go to the NASCAR race no matter what and you still really want to go to the F1…
Several drivers in various series have sustained vertebrae injuries when their tub has hit the pavement like that. Even a hard bottoming out over a curb or whatnot without crashing has caused a few injuries. I’m sure this issue is being addressed as new tubs are designed or existing cars are modified.
I don’t have the answers, either. What I do know it that the fencing most likely saved Wickens’ life. Had the car gone beyond that... I don’t know. The fence itself isn’t the problem. It’s the poles that hold it up.
Our 1995 Ranger does not take up more than parking spot, nor does it spill into other lanes of traffic. We use it to haul stuff all the time. I also take on photography trips which require some off-road driving (obviously we’re not talking about the Rubicon Trail or something like that) and it gets the job done every…
It wasn’t the wheel to wheel contact, it was Wickens’ car tapping the back corner of RHR that sent RHR into a spin. This would have still happened with fenders or wheel covers or those goofy rear pods the cars had for a few years. After RHR spun, Wickens drove right up the front wing and nose.
The roll hoop was fine. The cover and camera got destroyed. Had Wickens car been a little lower, a halo would have saved his life. Thankfully, Wickens was at least awake and alert, and no one else was seriously injured. The car did its job, but it could have been so much worse.
Yeah, I had to make a chart for a piece I was writing. I made several charts, actually. I had every possible scenario worked out, down to Newgarden’s car not making the green flag but still winning it (I think that was one of them; or something like that). Too bad it didn’t turn into a crazy fight to the finish.
By “runaway” I mean a single driver being so far ahead that if they so much as run one lap of the third to last race, they are champion.
I can’t argue with you. The season finale should be on an oval. And keep it double points so that it really matters. IndyCar hasn’t had a run away championship winner in a while (I’d have to look up when the last practically insurmountable points gap was going into the last race or two) so one couldn’t just give up…
Pretty sure that’s an Audi, bro.
Call me crazy, but wouldn’t just making new seats at the factory for the two cars, then shipping the seats with one of two techs to do the swap on site be cheaper and faster than all this flying and shipping things back and forth? I get that Chiron seats probably cost a little more than plain old regular supercar…
He should have used Flex Tape.
I decided to watch the broadcast about 10 minutes before it started. This sort of thing usually isn’t my thing. I’m totaly glad I watched. I too had no doubts that he would be successful, but it was still pretty damn impressive to see.
