I don't hate Leigh Diffey, and I think he's done well for himself. But his voice is nails on a gd chalkboard to me.
And we have been beyond spoiled to have commercial free F1 for several years. The old Speedvision/SpeedTV days were a fucking dick punch of commercials every 5-7 laps.
I was out hunting the weekend of V8SC unfortunately. That was the first actual event at COTA wasn't it, or was it the Grand Am weekend?
COTA needs a damn expressway connection to SH130 with direct connectors. That is the only way to help ingress and egress. Or a rail line running out there, but that has an even less chance of happening than the direct connection.
After watching the Elon/Trump Oval Office video, I had this fever dream of Trump resigning at some point prior to the end of his term and naming Elon as acting president. And no one stopped him. With the way things are going, I don't even think it's that far fetched of a nightmare.
WW3 is probably the only thing that can cure the current political situation that has been building here. The downside is, the earth will no longer be habitable and we'll all be dead.
This is actually unbelievable. It's happening now at breakneck pace. If Trump doesn't condemn this at all (he won't), that really does mean we are in the end times. Motherfuck
Agree on all fronts here. I would love to do Suzuka, but convincing my lady to do Japan would be nigh impossible. Spa would be more doable, and while there, may as well visit the Nordschliefe. It's only like an hour and a half away.
I used to race over at K1 all the time, I think I have over 100 races there. Stopped going after the karts kept getting shittier and shittier, also had a clearly drunk guy crash into me. To hear that COTA karts are worse is sad but not surprising, considering what thread we are in.
Thought I read somewhere that Jos and Carlos Sr. hate each other and that was part of the reason it didn't happen.
Really would've loved to see Carlos in the RBR instead of the damn Williams.
It makes me chuckle that RBR focused the drivability of their car 100% on Max's preferences. That shit cost them the constructors this year. I don't know enough about possible Checo replacements (Yuki, Lawson, etc) to know if they like a twitchy, front end driven car like Max. You'd think RBR would make the car at least a little bit driveable/tunable for the 2nd driver, if they cared about the WCC.
Also, George Russell is a lil bitch.
