I'm pretty sure Paris Hilton has investments in racing, I've seen her shown at Blancpain races as well.

Heads up it's a race week and this one is the most hilarious race of all. It's Monaco time. Both Jose Maria Lopez and Robin Frijns are doubtful due to injuries so we might have a few reserve drivers out for extra hilarity.

There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.


Is Monaco still the hilariously neutered Monaco?

Hey there's a race today in Paris because Fe needs multiple months between the first 3 races but the second half happens super quick because it can't overlap with the WEC season, Buemi's on pole and is probably going to win. Again.

gently caress this season, its not even Renault domination because Nico Prost is sucking rear end in the same car but he's driven every race in a field consisting mostly of part-timers. He's gonna skip both the New York races for WEC and probably still win the title.

And gently caress Di Grassi too. His comeback a few races ago was impressive, but causing two safety cars in one race is impressive in an entirely different way.

edit: The first was only a FCY I think.

When they switch to a bigger battery to last throughout the entire race and allow less pussyfooting around with energy management, then i feel like things will improve. There is something rather unexciting about racing drivers muzzled by energy saving shenanigans. More overtakes please.

It really isn't a bad series in theory, and it'll be interesting to see how it will develop in the upcoming seasons.
