You do get a fair bit of that here in Aus, and my feelings are a mixture of disgust at the old mans lack of shame, and jealously that hes porking a hot asian girl.

I think I've somehow become the 3rd/testing driver for a polish team entered into a 3 hour endurance kart race.

Its going to be a blast, but given that I have the most wheel to wheel experience of the three of us I think this year is going to be a "development year". Takes place in September so hopefully we can look at least presentable.

I expect Cool and Good updates once the race is over. I've gotta start getting into karting more. A place near me has a $40 special on Wednesdays where you get 2x 10 minute quali sessions followed by a 25 minute race. Pretty good bang for the buck IMO.

It says Bernie is at the Olympics - guessing we'll hear some news about a Sochi-like GP on the Rio olympic village next week.

In other olympic news...

No. Contact with lapped cars sent him into the wall, he flipped, landed topside facing traffic and got hit.

So the corrupt politicians get a kickback for bulldozing the old track and another one for rebuilding it? Sounds like a big old home run to me

Holy poo poo that's all I can see now. That's goddamn awful.

E: She's kind of doing it too, almost looks like she's pushing him away, or was posed as a mannequin. Did Kimi find someone as robotic as him? So sweet.

There's a video of David Coulthard shilling for Toto Wolff saying his management style is the best right now and for the future. I don't get what Toto actually does that separates him from the rest. Isn't Mercedes' thing that they spend a gently caress ton of money and then got a bigger edge because they were able to do stuff on their turbo that no one can ever do?

What Merc did first was separating the commercial from the racing side. Their main advantage has been not loving up the pre-rule change planning.

I can put together a bit of an update once the race is done. I'm toying with making an AI thread for next year now that I'm in a class where I'll be in the midfield as opposed to dropping off and a rapid pace, just got to figure out a way to make it interesting and accessible. The endurance race should be a blast though since I get to rag the poo poo out of somebody else's kart and not worry about the engine blowing or banging up the chassis.
