Yeh. Unfortunately this time it was in over it’s head, malfunctioned, and he had an accident... oops.

No one knows how many miles and in what driving circumstances “Auto Pilot” has been used except Tesla. My guess is the perception of use is over-inflated... but even I don’t know that.

Yeh. This is OK if he didn’t choose his stance based on their evaluation of him. He had no problem posing for the cover when they thought he was the “Bees Knees.”

PS: I like your username. The below helps to understand my motivation in regards to my viewpoints. Sometimes communication takes place with a tone to be heard when gentler tones go dismissed... that is if one cares enough... also part of being a good Teammate, caring, and valuing the person.

Hard work, discipline, Teamwork, Valuing People, Empowering People, Self Sacrifice, Dedication, Realizing it takes a Team, Realizing everyone on the Team is a contributor witth value to add and no one is the smartest person in the room.

Yeh. That’s sad stuff. We could put that out of business though if people wouldn’t give them their money. Sometimes it takes awhile to understand “rich” people get “rich” because we give them our money.

Yeh. I don’t think it should be classified as “boring.” It just takes more work than just sitting in a meeting and coming-up with the “sexy” idea. Those people are a dime a dozen. Actually executing on said idea, well... that takes planning, work, discipline, collaborating, empowering a team. That’s all difficult to…

Yeh. I doubt his “secret plan” has anything to do with adequate manufacturing processes, meeting production targets, improving margins, running a business, turning a profit, or developing autonomous vehicle tech and systems without using your customers as guinea pigs. Unfortunately these ideas are well below the mind…

Yeh. They should have spent more time learning how to get a car that’s not a GTE car into the GTE class without even homologating it and improved on their sandbagging deception tactics. Freakin dummies.

Sorry. I ftfy... how’s this?

As a man I’m checking my list of what I find adorable. Nope... I can’t seem to find bearded men with lumberjack racing suits anywhere. Sorry Stef :-(

Why I nearly got my Willy taken off by a rally car bumber! Any who, here we go... click click click - that’ll do. Now to help the sorry old chap involved in the shunt. Cheerio you crikey buggers.

James Hunt knows how he did it.

Yeh. That’s why you need to do it right and finish first.

Yeh. I agree. I’ve ranted about that enough though. My psychiatrist says I should give it a break for a while now.

Yeh. Spelling for me is EEK. So I try to EKE out correct spelling where I can :-)

Really. Sandbagging isn’t cheating?!? How it works to deceive BoP and so much time and effort is spent trying to combat it makes it Great.

Agreed. I Love the Engineering and Driving aspects though. Sticking to the rules and honoring the spirit of competition is vital to making this work though.

Yeh. Preach it.

Yeh. Another if your not cheating your not racing fan? How about setting up the car the best you can and drive the best you can and stop playing games. If you want to “eek” a performance advantage do it honestly. That would be refreshing and lead to better development, races, drivers, and fan experience. So much time…
