Don’t forget the PWC drivers Andrew Palmer and Jorge de la Torre being seriously injured in a wreck at Lime Rock Park last weekend. They’re both still in the hospital, Palmer with a head injury and de la Torre with vertebrae fractures.

I wonder why there’s so many drivers getting hospitalized the last week or two.

Why the hell do people get road rage? I get pretty pissed at other drivers for failing to signal, no lights on in rain, or some other crap, but I don’t scream, I don’t block them and get out of my car threatening them with a gun, I keep calm and carry on, maybe mumble to myself “The fuck, asshat?”

Seems like whatever…

Thoughts going out to his family. Comes a week after Lime Rock’s serious accident involving Andrew Palmer and Jorge de la Torre, both drivers being airlifted to a nearby trauma center.

I wasn’t at the race track on Friday, only Saturday. I saw a Testarossa leaving Saturday morning as we were driving out to the west parking area (silly traffic monitors directed our car to the ticket gates and infield, only to make us turn around and park in the grass outside the west gates)

I remember these. The Stig was everywhere in that Lego theme park.

True, but I was only working with paints/stains to fit the topic being discussed.

As for real taxonomy, you’d be surprised to see how many subgroupings there are under and over some of the main groups. Superphylums, microorders, magnorders, parvorders, superspecies, supergenus, tribes and subtribes...

Would Paint be better as a top-level grouping that included the phylum Stains, or would it be vice versa (ie. Paint as a phylum under Stains)? lol

Um, Order is like two steps up from Genus... it’s King Phillip Called, Ordered Five Garden Salads or some variation. And then there’s the subgroups and supergroups... last I checked, some animal taxons have 50+ levels of classification.

Regarding paint... I think Paint Taxon would go like
Kingdom Stains
Phylum Opaque…

That’s not dangerous... If it was dangerous, that entire GIF would be a mangled mess of metal and rubber and plastic and human guts.

Hail hath no fury like a track scorned?

And I believe WEC GTE/ IMSA GT LeMans are close to FIA GT2 specifications.

PWC GTS class are FIA GT4 spec, as most of the allowed cars are listed as GT4 submodels (KTM X-Bow GT4, Ginetta G55 GT4 etc)

There are literally DOZENS of sports car (GT3 etc) endurance races. 24h of Tokachi (defunct now); Fuji, 12 Hours of Bathurst, 24 Hours of Spa, one series is devoted entirely to 12 or 24 hour races at circuits that normally don’t have these kinds of races (24h of Zandvoort, anyone? website: http://www.24hseries.com/);…

I believe that’s a camera... you know, race broadcasters LOVE alternate angles.

No, the other guy won... by a nose.

I’ve never tried human beans, are they taste good? DO they come fried or baked?

Like when Richard Hammond mocked the faces of Peugeots and citroens? *Grins like a silly arse mocking a Peugeot*

Overall, while I thought the 1st episode was OKAY-ish... My dad, also a fan of the last few seasons, ended up looking somewhat like a bored Clarkson:

It was OK. just wayyyyy tooo much awkward awkwardness. Both hosts seemed to constantly glance at the camera after a bad attampt at a joke.

I thought there was supposed to be 7 hosts? Or did the BBC end up deciding to split them into the Before Show and After Show?

Visit to Lime Rock, Saturday morning. List includes Alfa 4C, a Consulier GTP, and when I was walking back to my dad’s car, we walked by a RWD R32 Skyline sedan. Will post more; tried to earlier under my other post, but uploader malfunctioned, forcing me to refresh, and now my original reply is buried under 276 others.

I’d say this truck was in limbo... “How low can you go?!”

The Sin R1, KTM X-Bow, and Ginetta G55 are all exclusive to the PWC GTS class. At least when it comes to American sports car series. By far one of the more diverse series I can think of. Most cars in the GTS-class are also FIA GT4-spec.
