Watched the F1 Academy report from Zandvoort and its striking how poorly kept that track is. There’s garbage all over, the kerbs are just thrashed and because it’s all on dunes, the trackside grass looks lovely, not to mention they’ve put new asphalt only on the most used part of the parabolica, giving it a distinct 80’s Dijon/Ricard lovely vibe. Actually , the whole track has that ‘83 lovely feeling going.

If you turned Zandvoort into a parking lot or a nuclear waste storage facility, nobody would cry a single tear about it.

I wouldn't put a nuclear waste storage facility that close to the ocean. But otherwise yes, bulldoze Zandvoort.

Thanks to the video(Thvideo?), I have managed to understood what the hell happened in the distance at Dunlop arch at the start of the race and the poor AF corse pilot going to the pits dejected was heartbreaking. We were scratching our heads on what the gently caress happened at the time and nobody went in detail on what caused it on the RLM commentary or the video feed on the screens.

Monza 6 Hours is this weekend, they’ve sold more than 80,000 tickets. It’s gonna look like an F1 race there this weekend.

It's also going to be wet, there is a giant Atlantic subsystem in the north of Italy, so we might see similar weather as LeMans.
The 80k tickets can be explained in two items, first people want to see Ferrari winning for once and second the tickets are now sold over ticket1 instead of the Monza track ghettorigged subsite(you could only get the generic access online, the rest you had to go find the ticket counter at the track).
If I didn't had an infernal week I would have gone there.

Aw hunny, these came out GREAT!
Motocross is live at The Wick in MA today.

Been getting more and more into this sport since my Dad and Brother are big fans. Hunter and Jett Lawrence, two brothers from Australia, look absolutely unstoppable. Jett moved up from the 250 class after the Supercross season and into the 450 class for the Motocross season, and the dude is just making everyone look stupid as a rookie. It's super fun to watch

Endurance racing used to fill the bronze slots with rich drivers with low to minimal experience in professional racing, meaning that they usually did major fuckup wiping out pros. It has became a meme to the point of calling a random fuckup some variant of "Dentist X" event, since some of the bronze driver that generated the legend were in the profession.

How are they skating on slicks so much? Once they get warmed up they’re like thighs on leather couches. Unless you provide absurd amounts of force to them like a top fuel launch.

Calling Continental's IMSA race tires from that period 'good' is a significant stretch.
