I bet he was mashing he brake pedal the whole time he was airborne.

I seem to remember Mahk Webbah confirming this when he was on Top Gear and Clarkson brought up his Flight of the CLK-GTR at Le Mans.

At least in Canada on TSN when the ads start during a sports broadcast that normally doesn't have ads (ex. F1) it just goes into a side-by-side picture thing where you gotta squint to see what's going on still but hell still better.

Though to be fair they usually heavily front load commercials here so they can show the end of the event with less interruption.

A guy named Louis Meyer who was fond of buttermilk to rehydrate happened to drink some in Victory Lane back in 1936 and the milk board saw it as an opportunity to advertise their tit liquid.

the drivers are asked prior to race day what kind of milk they want to quaff if they should win, so the stewards don't need to run them down and ask right after they cross the finish line

for all his beauty and skill, Nando is deeply flawed in that he said he wanted to drink paint-colored water instead of actual milk like how God and Nature intended

The stages put the race under caution twice a race now, yes.

I would argue that they sure as gently caress didn't care about throwing to ads during green before or after anyway, so it's not much different.

There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.


There's so many ads because ESPN/ABC doesn't really give a poo poo about motorsports anymore so they're just trying to milk the most money out of it.

If you want reduced ads but also a lot of 'Indycar for children' analysis, find a stream for BT Sport ESPN in the UK

e: same commentary as the US btw but they go silent during the time where commercials are on over there

NASCAR, in its drive to engineer some kind of playoffs system for motorsports, has introduced a "stage" system to their races

so at least twice every race, everything stops and they break for ads so they can award championship points to whoever was leading at the end of the stage before resuming the race under mandatory yellow flags
