Yeah I think it's clear Theo has no future in F1. Indycar's not a bad landing spot at least.

He's not even racing in Super Formula anymore.

Yeah, seems like the strategy is to red flag until the rain stops, then have everyone put on full wets to dry the track behind the safety car for several laps, then switch to intermediates for a rolling start.

The teams refuse to drive on the full wets because they are too slow so they would rather risk crashing on inters and since the FIA very rarely mandate tires I don't see it changing anytime soon

Let's see what's available this weekend:

  • World Endurance Championship - Spa 6 Hours
  • IndyCar - Indianapolis Road Course
  • MotoGP - France GP
  • World Rally Championship - Rally Portugal
  • NASCAR - Darlington

...and probably some more that don't pop out or are for even bigger sickos

I don’t like NASCAR at all but Darlington is a fantastic track. I recommend at least checking out the race this weekend for 10-15 minutes.

NASCAR also does awesome throwback liveries for the Darlington weekend, for example

they did an awesome press release but it still weirds me out that it's a Ford and not a Toyota, like all those specific Castrol liveries were on.

but yeah did they move the throwbacks up from the Labor Day weekend race, or just doing it both times? I thought it was the fall race that had those, maybe the schedule change made that happen.

I'm not sure but I vaguely recall throwback weekend happening at the spring race because it was somewhat close to the 500

There’s some absolutely fantastic racing in the UK randomly available on Youtube throughout the weekend, anything from shitbox BMW 2ers to GT3s, usually at Brands Hatch or Silverstone.

I got a genius idea where all car liveries go back to simplified liveries like that where you can actually see who is sponsoring it during the race as opposed to the current million little turd strategies where it looks impressive in press photos but all the sponsors are completely illegible any time the vehicle is moving

NASCAR really needs to mandate that primary sponsors stay that way for at least 2/3 of the races

alternate liveries have a much greater impact when they're truly an alternate or one-off, not one of four or five options rotated throughout the year.

then again I'm also beginning to feel this grumpy about American team sports jerseys as well, so maybe it's just getting old

LeMans Ultimate will be great when the 2024 grid is in there. Because it's 2023 most track have the half arsed GTE Am final year field.

And of course no Isotta, BMW, Alpine or Lambo hypercar.
