Sprint races having anything to do with the starting grid of the Grand Prix is the very worst part of the idea. F1 qualifying is awesome. The best of any form of racing. And it needs to set the grid for the Grand Prix.

This is one of the most idiotic articles ever posted on Jalopnik.

Dearest Alanis,

I owe a hundred apologies to NASCAR fans for thinking them to be beer-swilling wife-bearer wearing hicks.

So what you’re saying is, you had a Mk4 VW once?

Is it just me, or did this article not cover *why* it will cost another 1.2M to export? It is just presented as a number with no context. Broker fees? Conversion to US spec? Magic?

Night Panel.

I can tell you what I don’t want. Fucking infotainment. They all suck and will be outdated in a year. Car companies are not good at being tech companies and a car is too expensive to be disposable. If you aren’t going to subject me to an infotainment solution at least allow me to upgrade that part alone. CarPlay and…

The coolest shit ever here. 

Buttons and knobs.

The entire nascar scoring/championship system. And the race stages.

This is not a shooting brake, this is a WAGON.

Hey, I have an idea! Suppose NASCAR runs a race at some pre-determined length and the first guy to finish wins! And points are awarded in the order of finish! And at the end of the season, the guy with the most points wins the championship! And the rules don’t micro manage down to the tools used by the mechanics! And…
