So close… yet so far… if only I’d gone all-in on the “DEFCON” clue.

Hey look it’s briefly me not winning! lol

Last week’s and this week’s episodes were taped in a session at the end of April, under threat of a writers’ guild strike which never happened.

Well it is an Emirates plane. Perhaps the flight crew had just watched some hagwalah videos.

Anyone heard from Paul Drayson lately? He has cubic dollars pounds, runs his own tech company that works on medical tech, and his racing hobby is based sort-of near McLaren’s headquarters.

8/10 — Great concept, but SVT badging is a bridge too far, and the bed isn’t a step-side like the original.

I would think this sort of driving ability would make one much more interesting on the way to and from the dinner parties.

I can easily imagine a Golf R that has already been traded back to a dealer being beaten to hell by its previous owner, and requiring that much work to get it back to a state where anyone would want to put a warranty back on it. The Golf IV R32 had the same issue — lovely cars, but generally owned by folks who drove…

I mean, hey, I guess these days the ACO will let you do that (cough 2016-2017 Ford GT LM cough four Le Mans invitations instead of two cough), but still.

In response, the Toro Rosso team has picked up a secondary sponsor in Hanna-Barbera. As part of the deal, the cars will carry Scooby Doo livery, and the team will be renamed “Toro Ruh-Roh…”

Four-rotor laser-ignited Wankel DPi go!!!

I would have tried to come up with a witty comment to the article, but now there’s just no point. Are #COTDnominations still a thing?

Next week they’ll attempt the Kessel Run in under 11 parsecs.

Running without LMP1 at certain events would certainly be different, but it doesn’t seem like a guaranteed death-knell. I don’t think anyone would call IMSA’s annual prototype-less event at VIR disappointing; indeed it seems to be one of the best-attended weekends of the season.

This pretty much covers my sentiment.
