Yeah, no, I am gonna stoop that low. Sue me.

Zero weight to the victory

Toyota have done it! The Dark Souls of racing is beaten! Long have we waited.

Not too different to early-2000's Le Mans then.

No it isn’t. I’ll keep fighting these takes becuase frankly, Toyota’s racing against its own doom. They’ve finally outrun it.

This one’s for Kazuki Nakajima. You deserve this.

GG for them, excellent pace control from Porsche.

They better finish up MotoGP. Don’t have time for them once I start Le Mans.

I think I got it: the FIA and ACO operate under the assumption that hypercars are far above supercars and grand tourers (which they are), so rather than make factories come up with road cars, they’re challenging, say, Aston Martin, to design the successor to the Valkyrie as a full endurance prototype race car. Or at…

Kinda like this, but not “from road car to race car” but rather “like race car, like road car”.

Confirms it to me then: the FIA wants to take what’s there to its logical conclusion. Hypercars (SRO calls it ultracar which is better) as the ultimate racer.

Oh, so THAT’s where the rest of the M8 GTE’s ass went.

Yeah, thing’s built to cruise with the Bentley Continental, which is also a boat that apparently can race.

I have no problem with that. It’s the power spike that I find worrisome. GT3 progress still feels linear to me. GT4 is growing in an unnaturally fast rate.

To be fair to McLaren, the 570 is the weakest car they have. Problem is that it is tiered with the R8 and NSX. But even then, I’m not gonna make McLaren shoulder the blame. Audi and Mercedes have cars on the Cayman tier.

The car checks out—it evolved from the old venerable Vantage GT4, but I can’t help but think of the power creep incited by Audi and Mercedes when they took supercars down in the sports category. The R8 and AMG-GTR never belonged in GT4, but now that it’s there, the arms race was accelerated. Now look at it, it’s…

But I wanted Tiff and Chris Harris together! They were so good together back in Harris’ hyper-trinity review film.

Stories like this remind me of similar ones back here in the Philippines. Typhoon Haiyan. The dad of my cousin’s friend died in that storm. To this day his son still wears the cap his dad wore.

Hold the phone.
