  1. It was a very entertaining race imho, and I actually liked the way the cars looked and ran on the layout ... but the locals were not amused with the way FOM operated there. From FOM's side, there's the expense. It was apparently far more expensive than they anticipated, but future races should be far less expenive for them.
  2. It doesn't matter. If the big casinos want it, it's happening. If they don't want it, it'll be gone. Not sure how much longer F1 or the casinos will actually want it though. COTA is in the city limits since it was annexed, and is surrounded by the County. The County's role here is apparently for Margaret Gomez to push through whatever COTA wants, while simultaneously contnuing to ignore her constituents' needs, into perpetuity.
  3. Great game, but ... bullshit no tripping call when the Oiler took out Duchene exactly the same way as when we took the penalty to go down 2 skaters. Fuck the refs.
  4. 2020 and he was incorrect He didn't say which season.
  5. He was also at the launch and spoke. Maybe this was all a storm in a teacup as the Brits say. But who knows. WeWillSee.

    Fuck Brett Yormark

    Yeah, like aggy did while simultaneously dodging us when we invited them to play us.

    Fuck Brett Yormark

    Nah fuck that shithole too.
  8. Pretty sure they're talking about the vertcal aspect of the side pod inlets everyone's going on about. In other news ... Send in the Clowns. Don't bother. They're here.
  9. I've been on this for a while, so it's nice to see some drivers talking about it now. Fernando and George have taken up the cause ... Alonso: Three days of single-car testing unfair on F1 drivers Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso says it is "unfair" for Formula 1 drivers to only get one and a half day of winter testing in Bahrain. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/alonso-three-days-of-single-car-testing-unfair-on-f1-drivers/10575897/
  10. Oh, COTA ... never change. Apparently COTA is having trouble getting purchase links sent out to people who put down deposits for 2024 USGP tickets.
  11. Yeah like others have said, many people thought it was a mistake because Merc weren't really challenging for championships. In 2013, they were right, but from the outside, most of us couldn't see the domination that was coming with the hybrid pu era. Unlucky for Nico / lucky for Lewis that Michael retired when he did and not a year earlier or later & no other top driver was available. Probably lucky for Lewis too that he was P4 in 2012, or he might have stayed at McLaren. Lucky for Merc that Lewis was available for 2013, but they were gonna win either way with that hybrid PU head start over everyone else.
  12. Nice. We knew it was a great crowd when we were there, but we had no idea it was a record! Fun bunch of fans. HAND: An Epic, Yet Emotional Emergence – Sportscar365 https://sportscar365.com/features/commentary/hand-an-epic-yet-emotional-emergence/
  13. Interesting video here, quickly reviewing some features of the AMR24. Especially interesting imho was the bit about the 'split lines' on the ramps that were causing fllow detachment issues last year. Now the entire sidepod is one piece, to eliminate the split lines.
  14. I saw something that said they'd be alternating from race to race, between Stake F1 Team and Kick F1 Team. No shit.
  15. COTA's moving grandstands around again. T2 to T13, T6 back to T19. Just watch, they'll say they've added those grandstands when they're really just moving them, like they did when they moved that grandstand to T6 in 2022. T6 GS crowd was weak, and T2 has always been a terrible place for a grandstand. Hard to believe anyone ever bought seats there. Starting prices are listed for each grandstand.
  16. That sidepod inlet design is very interesting ... My take on it is that they've turned the inlet upward to face the sky rather than opening directly forward, and the shape of that small front piece of the inlet can vary for different conditions/needs.
  17. The AMR24 is got damn gorgeous.
  18. At least it has a full paint job/wrap. I gotta give 'em points for that. Looks a lot better in this light imho.
  19. Yeah, same here. First thing I did when I saw that story was go to the website. Not a peep. It's like when they dropped the news initially and then took it off the website by the next day. Who's fucking this pig? What a shitshow. Looks like they're just throwing shit at the wall, with a dwindling schedule. Not looking good for the series imho. At this rate I'll be surprised if any of it happens, or at least in this form.
  20. Schedule released, I guess .... No Hermosa? Pfft. https://volleyballmag.com/2024-avp-schedule-announcement-020724/ 2024 AVP Schedule released, including details on new AVP League
  21. Friend just got his PSL bill from COTA. His 2024 bill has gone up another 36% compared to 2023. It went up 38% from 2022 to 2023. T15. It was about $1200 in 2022. Now about $2300. ETA: His 3-day parking fee went up 67%, from $225 last year to $375 this year. It was $100 in 2021.
