  1. Since there’s not really another Charles/Russell/Lando/Albon in the F2 ranks currently, teams probably aren’t willing to risk a new driver going through a steep learning curve again unless/until they have to. Even then, getting on top of these cars and especially these tires can take a little while. Oscar Piastri, who by all accounts is pretty damn good, hasn’t really even come close to getting on top of race tire management yet.
  2. Yeah, I figured that or the “bumper paint” I’ve seen.
  3. Speaking of ARB Bull Bars, anyone ever repainted one? Mine is kinda shitty looking now.
  4. https://www.epiphone.com/en-US/Electric-Guitar/Epiphone-Kirk-Hammett-Greeny-1959-Les-Paul-Standard/Greeny-Burst This is pretty sweet.
  5. Pretty sure it was Chase Carey.
  6. I heard that comment too but it was odd, because they definitely did have them. You can see the 200m one here on the right of Charles, counting down to 0.
  7. I use RushSync, which has just about every racing series. It’s great.
  8. Oops, too slow. Removed duplicate.
  9. Jay’s in Abilene is supposed to be solid. Have not been there yet, myself. https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/jays-bbq-shack-abilene-revamped/
  10. That was a setup issue, though. They were way too conservative on ride height this time because of what happened at COTA, and they tried to bolt on more rear wing to compensate. The result was that they were super draggy and had horrible balance. Vegas isn’t exactly a track that will favor them since it’s a bunch of rear limited corners and straights, but they should be better than at Brazil (not accounting for super cold temps, at least).
  11. I got de-ported today. Let’s hope that mofo doesn’t ever have to go back in.
  12. I know we just got a new Mini, but I wonder if we will see a new Mini or Studio.
  13. This is top tier Instagram commenting.
  14. The cars have had a plank on the bottom made from Jabroc (a beechwood and resin material) ever since Senna’s accident to prevent them from running too low, which can cause sudden loss of downforce and therefore a crash. This plank is supposed to be a minimum of like 9mm. If it’s less than that, it fails the technical regs. Because of only having one practice session and a bumpy track, it looks like some teams were a little too aggressive with the ride height, and the planks wore too much. Only 4 cars were checked and 2 failed, from different teams, so it’s likely there were several others, but we won’t know. Example of plank:
  15. They probably should, but these are just part of the random post race checks, so [emoji2369] . I’d bet the other cars have already started to be torn down anyway.
