Whoever owns NASCAR also owned and destroyed AMA motorcycle roadracing. I think. I hate NASCAR because of what I imagine they did, anyway.

I was watching the 83 French Grand Prix and Elios car failed at the same spot that he crashed in 86. Eerie.

so I went into this E/N thread coz I was bored and it was about some guy that had a girl but she dumped him and now says she was never attracted to him and he sounded like he needed some support.. until you read his writing and discover he's a bit of a dick and probably should be sterilized. Anyway, you keep reading and the dude seems to engage with everyone in the thread and as stupid as he is you think a little if you were being too harsh until.. someone else finds a post from TCC.. this dude is a heroin injecting drug fiend. This is not the worst thread.

The worst thread is very obviously the GBS Australia thread which seems to consist of an infinite loop of "lol weed, lol vodka, lol MDMA, lol Benzos, lol LSD, lol morphine, guys help my dick is bleeding, lol weed, lol vodka, lol MDMA, lol Benzos, lol LSD, lol morphine, guys my rear end has prolapsed and I've PM'd the thread regulars pictures" Quite frankly is insulting and amateur hour that "the worst thread" is in the title of this thread.

Like prolapsed rear end in a top hat guy discovered that his silicon rear end lube has like 4x the volume of his head shaving cream while being cheaper and is actually better for shaving his head.

I love you all but please for the love of god have mercy and talk about Formula 1. Most Euros understand and care as much about NASCAR and indycar as Americans do about cricket.  Somone in a news comments section posted somthing surprisingly accurate about Stroll. "Technically he may have been in the right but he's like a teenager who hasn't worked out that if somone is tailgating you then you don't slam on the brakes" Also promised Honda update in Russia, but a F1 working group to help them has been set up anyway.

It could be the best engine in the grid but they still ran out of engines for the year so every update from now on is going to give them a grid penalty. Which is exactly how Mercedes planned it all along, yeh we'll help you because we know drat well that you still can't beat us if we do

Hopefully soon enough ACO will go "alright, they can compete at Le Mans". Hopefully in the entire WEC. IMSA is proving the ACO spec LMP2s can be competitive with them (hardly surprising, they're essentially the same cars). Hell even if they still made them run the Gibson engine at LeMans and allowed the bodywork it'd be an improvement.

The presumption here isn't that Sauber are choosing between Ferrari or Honda. They're choosing between free Honda engines, or expensive Ferrari engines and bankruptcy /no development budget

How fast to GP2 cars go relative to F1 cars in the eras where people died all the time? Like of those links posted on the last page, surely at least 3 of them would've been fatalities with 1970s standards of safety.

Pretty sure GP2 cars were lapping faster than F1 backmarkers not long ago.
