They also raced at COTA in the earlier part of 2020. It wasn't originally on the schedule but they were unable to go to Interlagos for whatever reason.

Petit Le Mans was very fun last night.

DPi was fun but it's FINALLY time to put it in H!

The first lap of the Aragon MotoGP today was goddamn frightening. Luckily it seems nobody was badly hurt.

I remember there was a thread there a couple seasons back, but it wasn’t super active. I’ll go check for this year’s thread, thanks!

It's that time of year again where I remember (v8) supercars still exists because Bathurst is on. Lets have a look at the weather forecast.



Good luck with your 5 sets of wets guys.

The eastern side of the ranges are currently gearing up for what could be our 4th 1 in 100 year flood in the last 12 months. If my front yard is anything to go by any excursion off track will be a boggy affair.

Bathurst is kinda being Bathurst this year. The top 10 shootout was cancelled after a massive dump of rain moved across the circuit in the hour or 2 that it was supposed to happen. They've also closed all of the parking at the circuit due to all of it turning to mud . Being country NSW the parking area is more or less a field for a majority of the year and not designed to cope with thousands of cars when the soil is saturated as it's been for months now

They had to do that after the draconian one carton (24 cans) per person per day limit was brought in.

Looking at the replay just now, it appears his car had just fully locked up and kept sliding forward in the line he was going, missed the wall and ended up back on the track. Don’t think it was intentional.

Once he was off his choices were the wall or hope he could control it back on to the track. The move was pretty dumb to start with. First racing pitstops are going to be fun with that water over the pit entry :getin:

I miss the old days where it'd take them the whole day to do the number of laps around Bathurst. These days it's more of a long distance sprint race

Same, I miss the 8am starts.

But having said that, I had time this morning to do some jobs around the house before the race started!

Yeah it sucks that Supercars doesn't allow the guys who just want to run the two enduros. I think they were killed off in the early 2000s. No more Daily Planet car
