I don’t know where they’ve all gone, but if there’s on now in November with more of the local lower touring car and GT classes, that might be fun to see.

I think it was at the International a few year ago when they were running unbop'd GT3s to break the 2 minute barrier.

I don’t know where they’ve all gone, but if there’s on now in November with more of the local lower touring car and GT classes, that might be fun to see. They close the roads for racing more than they used to, because the resident access has become a lot better - the problem used to be for inside the circuit and near The Cutting, both now have 24hr access even on race weekends. The track also gets partial closure for hillclimbs and there are club supersprint days. algebra testes posted:Bring back the Easter Weekend bike races.

Oh, so that’s the car up in the tree  It seems like it has been the time to have a discussion about the safety standards for British circuits that aren’t Silverstone. Or, conversely, if anything faster than GT4 should run there.

Remember when Goodwood had a car flip into a spectator tunnel and they threw a tantrum over being told they should probably at least put a net over it? Something in the water in this country about racetrack tradition.

I was surfing the free set of D-tier channels on my Samsung TV when I found this European motorcycle racing where the guys were mostly just drifting the motorcycles around a dirt oval. What’s that about huh?

What’s that about huh? Speedway, big power bikes, no brakes, airbags around the track to catch people who crash, 4 laps, huge track evolution over the course of the event which is run as a knockout tournament. It rules. There’s also ice speedway which is the same thing but on ice ovals.

My Samsung has some weird sport thing that isn't eurosport. Shows a lot of dirt oval stuff and this batshit thing where people time trial speedboats in a small pond.

been sleeping in the parking lot of LVMS, much to the chagrin of security. Finally saw the Summit EV line up. Which was a bunch of Teslas. YAWN. But I did get to see dueling jet dragsters! Two pairs! and each run almost ended in flames!   Anyway here’s a launch POV provided by Josh Hart https://twitter.com/joshharttf/status/1586524233999360001?s=46&t=OpGszNXiJtps_OuR3yyW1w coconono fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Oct 30, 2022 |

algebra testes posted:https://twitter.com/FIAWEC/status/1586450460520509440?t=mqSDrupnO7utqs05pvkKJA&s=19 So Ferrari is WEC only next year, BMW is IMSA only, and it’s likely (confirmed in BMW’s case) they’ll add the second championship from 2024. Sounds like they gave a “not talking about that” at the 499P launch. No announcements as of yet. Considering parts supply issues, there will be regulars in IMSA not running in Daytona because their new GTPs won’t be ready (I think the private Caddy is one?). The other factor is IMSA’s marketing requirement from OEMs, and that they don’t necessarily want anyone coming over for just the 36 Hours of Florida. Or, I guess specifically Daytona, doing both parts of Super Sebring with one car/driver crew sounds like suicide. The wild card would be Glickenhaus, but they haven’t announced anything for next year. I think we’ll have a greater chance for some one-offs in future years, though.

I think Glick are about to find out the WEC were using them to pad out a joke grid and now the big boys are here their plan of pinkie swearing they'll do the whole season then buggering off after LeMans isn't going to work so well.
