Isn’t that what he’s supposed to say?

Yes we get that, its basically an exact mirror, we just don’t get any of the extended coverage, ours starts a minute or two before the formation lap (so no Brundle grid walk or Hill, Herbert, Head build up) and then ends right after the podium interviews. Sucks to miss out on stuff like Ted’s notebook, etc but I’ll…

I would assume midfield isn’t quite where they’re aiming. They may be able to get a win or two in the next few years if they get really lucky, but standing on the podium may be an ambitious enough target for now.

Of course there are, but its still a good job being taken from them. Yes there are other places where you can get a job for being pretty, but this was a pretty prestigious one, and likely one many of the girls highly enjoyed.

Has anyone actually asked a “grid girl” or a group of “grid girls” how they feel?

Do you think netflix and amazon prime don’t have metrics to see how much revenue individual shows are driving in? Amazon only cares about one metric when it comes to these shows, how much does a show cost to acquire a new prime customer (acquisition cost) and it makes sense! If a particular show brings in 1 million…

Actually Alanis Clarkson and Top Gear first used Dunsfold, during the late 1990s and some off his earlier Car DVD so it been a base for about 20 years.

Power, like vision, is taken for granted - and therefore ignored much more often than you’d think.

No, horsepower is so Gen X, definitely not a thing anymore.

People still get hyped about HP. It is silly because our speed limits are often low and our roads are often shit. If you go to the right (wrong?) cars and coffee you’ll be surrounded by dozens of Corvettes, Mustangs, Hellcats, etcs. Those cars and coffees are boring.

Horsepower never goes out of style.

I think we need to seperate coverage from broadcast. I think the quality of the coverage/commentary was actually far better than NBC. The problems was with ESPN haphazardly plopping a commercial in at a crucial moment, or failing to just solve simple technical issues with sound and timing.

No way. As long as he keeps finishing right behind Seb, he will have a happy home at Ferrari. They are a team who don’t want two number 1 drivers. They need a number 1 and number 2. Kimi fits this role perfectly, doesn’t complain and puts up fast times. What more could they ask for?

Seb likes him as a teammate. If Ferrari wins constructor’s and Seb wants him to stay, I bet he will.

Alonso must have had a chuckle when he heard a Toro Rosso retired with an engine problem.

NBC does a good job with Indycar.  So, so much better than ABC.  

Preach

That’s how everything is shot nowadays.

You’re not KenM

I don’t even see it as competition. It’s just two great car shows. The more car shows, the better.
