Some dense reading if you wanna nerd out, Pruett talking about the suspension set up on the DPi's:

Spoiler alert: Dallara, as they are wont to do, has decided that regular front suspensions are out of vogue and went with a bizarre torsion bar setup. Hopefully this goes better than their front suspension experiments in IndyCar.

I knew it was only a matter of time until Formula Vee came back in vogue.

idk they looked pretty cool (im weirdly nostalgic for the open tops now that we are back to all closed tops) and sounded great, and a 3/4 mentally disabled pile of assturds could apparently jump in and drive one

i guess the problem is that it inspired the rich 3/4 mentally disabled pile of assturds to do just that

I'm glad JDC-Miller moved Misha Goihkberg up to P, I've been watching him since he dominated prototype lites 2 years ago, he did okay in PC, and now he's a with the team's new Oreca line up, for the full season. Still just a silver rating though

Sat across the aisle from David Coulthard on the plane this morning. That probably belongs in the F1 thread but I stopped reading that cesspool a couple of years ago and I'm not about to start again.

Races are definitely loads of fun in person. I've only seen a few dirt track ones but even those can amaze.

Like the AXE and the Riley, hope Mazda does something more with that. Also hope at least one of the Mazda's is soul red.

e: interesting to see the Mazda and the Riley's front splitter not extending the full width of the car, unlike the Caddy. Is that how they run or do they pull the corners off for shipping safety?
