What's with all the praise for those Kimoa shades? The frame looks so drat cheap. Those are $113 CAD shades for something that cheap looking. Maybe at half the price I'd do a pair myself.

I like them, im getting a pair. There goes 69 euros.

Speaking of 69, the hospital released a statement saying Nicky Hayden has suffered severe brain damage and severe fractures. He has a massive cerebral edema which tehy can't even treat yet as his vitals are still not strong enough/stable enough in order for him to undergo surgery.

One race, during one of my first seasons, it rained. That day, I saw a wet tire for the first time. It was on another car beside me on the grid.

This is the best thing I have ever read.

If Zac is talking F1, then yeah, that makes sense. Both Mercs and Ferraris ahead, plus a Red Bull.

As for Indy, my expectations are this: Nando will finish on the lead lap. He may win, but I'm admittedly not expecting a win on his first go.

Then again, Rossi won on his first go last year so who knows!

It's ridiculous comparing Honda in Indy to Honda in F1.

One has an engine that by and large is the best in its series in terms of power and able to come onto said power, which is why it won all the super-speedway races last year (small sample of two engines and three races mind you). Obviously no racing engine is going to be as reliable as the one in your car, but it's held its own and actually helped overcome the lack of downforce their aerokits have compared to Chevy's in the opening two street races.

Then there's the massive pile of poo poo that's in F1. Like, I understand that a 2.2L twin turbo that revs only to 12k RPM is pretty different from a 1.6L single turbo that goes up to 15k RPM, but why wouldn't they share notes or something? Yeah it's two different divisions but come on

Indy's stream is being hot garbage today, sadly, but Nando is up to 224.641 which is good for 5th fastest on the day so far ("towed", meaning he had a draft to help him out).

He should be running every lap in the draft and in traffic imo, that's where he needs to learn the most.

It seems to be thrown around a lot, especially at Indy. There is very little reason to sandbag these days.
