I've never watched Formula E, but man that track in Mexico City that they're racing today looks like a track that lovely race drivers go to when they die

Toyota can at least hold their heads high knowing they didn't think that bringing a loving FWD prototype to Le Mans was a brilliant idea.

Yeah but isn't the appeal of GT that they at least sort of look like road cars? I think you kinda lose that when "GT" cars end up looking like this.

I put so much into Gran Turismo 2 to get this car as a kid

Peak ARCA brakes. That is NOT an added sound effect, keep in mind on track audio is severely turned down volume wise

Now I know where Opie and Anthony's car crash sound effect came from

Diffey is absolutely awful (although for some reason bearable when he does Indycar). Boy did he not like it when someone sat down with three NBC F1 broadcasts and a stopwatch to figure out just how much time they were throwing away during each race.

Hobbs was great a decade ago but he really is getting along now, Matchett's last experience as a mechanic was at the turn of the century, and Buxton is just a twat.

NBC need someone with relatively recent experience in the sport, and they need to stop wasting 25% of the broadcast.

Also, there's a good chance that their contract with F1 prohibits them from badmouthing anything about the sport. Still waiting on Christian Sylt to follow up on that.

Yes, another livery to remind us of their mediocrity at Le Mans.

Ah. As and aside I hate the BAR 01 and I hold it responsible for grenading his entire company.

I will forever love how blatantly obnoxious that car's livery was. I have a diecast of it at home.

(At their launch they had one blue, one white, but the FIA or somebody decided to enforce rules about team liveries. So the zippered look was the world�s worst backup plan)

What especially kills me is that they were both legit great looking cars on their own, particularly the 555 one.

Whincup is racing in the Bathurst 12h with Kenny Habul and Tristan Vautier.

Which is to say Kenny Habul is gonna bin the car at Skyline in FP1 and total it and Whincup won't race at all.

Sounds great to me
