I’ll offer this ray of hope. Probably won’t get out of the greys, but it’s worth saying.

1) There is no requirement to have a hybrid system in LMP1, you just aren’t going to be competitive without one. No manufacturer is interested in racing without having the opportunity to win.

They won’t fade into obscurity. They’ve lost factory support and survived. They’ve raced in DTM and other series that don’t exist anymore. They will find another way to race. I’m sure Porsche wouldn’t mind if they snuggled up together again. It worked the first time around.

Neither driver is on solid ground, maybe they get rid of both of them

Exactly. What’s that old Yogi Bera saying? “Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too popular.”

My ‘88 Cherokee did. No ABS or traction control, and a computer that would not have been out of place in Frankenstein’s lab, also quick when it was new, a raw visceral driving experience - not in the same sense of a sports car, but just a bare-bones “I will get you there with no dash lights or nannies so keep your…

There’s always a faster car. In my years of motoring, which arent that many, I’ve found that chasing speed and “fast” really is just an endless jaunt. It’s better to just drive whatever puts the biggest smile on your face.

I’m sorry, it wasn’t clear in context whether your filmmaking was a job or not.

I don’t think you are a victim [in this particular instance] if you are willfully putting yourself in danger for your job/hobby. Note that I am not trying to marginalize any of your experiences, just pointing out that it seems incongruous that you are apparently very concerned about being subject to violence, while at…

Keselowski knows a thing or two about the Glen

Sped way up to make it look cooler but yea

Dude is still in a multi-World Championship winning driver car. Never count him a fast car out. If it can be done, he the car has the capacity to do it.

Don't be a chode.

“best looking car in the segment”

I love Buxton, as well as the trio in the studio. It also doesn’t hurt that Buxton does seem to have some genuine personal relationships with some of the drivers. The couple of spotlight segments he did with Lewis were really good.

The other three are pretty great too. Diffey is good with play by play, Matchett gives you a great engineering insight, and Hobbs is great as a driver and a cranky old man of the sport’s golden era. Great dichotomy, mostly ruined by insane amounts of commercial breaks.

I would not at all compare a TSX to a Camry or Altima. Not the same size category, and definitely not the same level of toss-ability. Not as enjoyable to operate either (gearbox, steering, etc.).

Say no more, fam:

There’s a strong intersection between the type of dude who wants a brown turbo diesel manual wagon, and the type of dude who would fly 5000 miles on a whim to see a woman he’s only texted.

A $70k Vette hangs out with $200k supercars.
