Apparently the ARX-06 never ran more than 5 consecutive hours prior to the event. The V6 in the Acura is good - too bad it won’t be seen in Indycar.

Toyota’s pace is crazy, Ferrari impressed as well.

You talk about pink racing cars and forget sports cars in this, of all threads? Shameful.





I love the Italya livery.

Liam Lawson became the first rookie to win on debut in Japanese Formula Car racing in 45 years - the last rookie to do that was Marc Surer.

Really entertaining Super Formula race - Mugen/Nojiri won but for a time a brand new team looked like they’d win (TGM.)

De Vries might be a little worried about Liam Lawson. Another great qualifying performance in Super Formula.

Vanwall kicked out of the WEC, 3rd Ferrari approved, Pescarolo Peugeot didn't happen.

Expected 9 GT3 teams.

Vanwall is such a weird rear end brand to revive I've never understood it. Vanwall never was sportscar team either - they were in F1, and in any case the name was dormant for like 60+ years.


The 680 was pretty, however it was poorly designed. The Gibson V8 was apparently losing between 60-80HP if it was hot.

Yeah, supposedly they've swapped engines in the thing, although I'm not sure to what.

And it probably doesn't matter now. I suspect they were undone by them failing to up the grid to 40. They'll struggle to get in next year too unless at least one manufacturer starts the inevitable future bust phase.

They considered a V10 of…some make however it appears they have gone with the Pipo V8 Twin-Turbo 3.5L from the Glickenhaus.
