Racing motorcycles at Macau has to be second only to racing motorcycles at the TT in the madness stakes.

Kevin Schwantz won a Macau GP once which is one of many reasons that Kevin Schwantz owned. e) the list of 80s/90s Macau GP winners is basically a who's who of badass bike racers, Schwantz, Robert Dunlop, Steve Hislop, Ron Haslam, Carl Fogarty.

I cannot comprehend that they even race F3 cars here, its bad enough with tin tops. Motorbikes here is mind boggling. Honest truth is I was not surprised at all to hear something happened.

Assuming one were actively insane I don't think there's anything preventing a manufacturer doing a part season and entering that 2nd LeMans. Although, I'm not sure why one would.

Dudley posted:Assuming one were actively insane I don't think there's anything preventing a manufacturer doing a part season and entering that 2nd LeMans. IIRC the ACO clearly put their foot down and indicated that if Toyota wasn't prepared to commit for the whole double-season they probably shouldn't bother. If they pull that to Toyota and don't back it up to (say for example) Ferrari, it'd set a bad precedent (that the ACO has already set in the past).

Toyota will win Le Mans but despite leading for most of the race Alonso's car will die in the last 10 minutes because the universe hates him.

Because it may be just a couple months ahead of the 2019-20 WEC season anyways? I can imagine somebody trying to do Sebring and Le Mans that season for the prestige factor. I would also imagine any entrant would have to get Toyota’s tacit approval to do so, I think they welcome the challenge and if that Factory makes a multi-year forward commitment I doubt it’d be a problem.

maybe they should have a radio in the cars, and perhaps some trackside men and women with flags to wave to warn people new aston GTE:  http://www.racer.com/wec-le-mans/item/145898-aston-martin-racing-s-new-gte-launched#!Aston_Martin_Racing_2018_Vantage_GTE_01

Yeah we should develop some kind of flag system, like maybe yellow. It's not like race drivers ignore safety warnings all the time.
