    Sounds like maybe things aren't going too well over at Aston Martin ... rumor is they might miss the first test.

    Do they have to wait to see what the Merc looks like so they can copy it?

    Just posted a few hours ago by a poster on another board who has a history of getting things right. He hadn't posted about it in weeks. WeWillSee ...

     

    So VW wants a second Bugatti-like company?

    Diboll and their fucked up cameras can rot in hell.

    Estelline and their $60k cop car always makes me laugh.  There is but one purpose for that sumbeech, and it could be achieved in a Ford Focus.

    Gotta spend that civil asset forfeiture money somewhere.

  4. I booked 4 nights at the AC Hotel in Montreal the day I bought tix, was about $1800. I haven't booked airfare, was gonna wait a month or so. Hoping Hou to Montreal will be reasonable and hopefully nonstop.🤞

    Fun fact, McLaren tested it and was 2 seconds faster than with the Cosworth it had normally.

    Ron Dennis chose the Peugeot V10 in the end (gross) for the MP4/9 because the Lamborghini was just too unreliable. The car is was just little longer than a standard MP4/8.

     

     

    I can't imagine how unreliable the Lambo V12 was if they went with the Peugeot hand grenade.

    So what do Schumacher and Mazepin feel when racing during the weekend?

    Is the adrenaline pumping at the start? Do they just feel like "welp, let's go drive around for a while until the back end slides out"? Do they have goals of passing anyone? Just seems like all of the excitement would be taken out of it. Finish all sessions last and typically not even be close. Do that for 23 weekends and then call it a season. 

    Pretty much, keep your nose clean and hope that a higher team sees your consistency. Not unlike the Minardi days of the 2000's.

  7. I'm disappointed to hear Canada is for sale and selling out already. I haven't seen shit in my email.

    I did GA there in the past and def regretted it. It's a super flat man-made island and has nowhere near the amount of good GA spots as a place like COTA. Gotta get a grandstand seat if you are making the trip up there.

  8. Yeah, I feel it's gonna be not if we get a safety car but how many.

    Someone will get out on the marbles and with the walls being so close, game over. That said, it doesn't look as terrible as I was expecting.
