Before the playoff system the championship was usually down to a couple drivers by September. The first playoff system - you were out after one bad race. The current system mimics a the playoff systems used by other sports and I find it more entertaining.
The History channel had a program about Porche's history at Le Mans. I missed the first half of the program so I'll be looking for a replay. Porche has had a long and winning history at Le Mans. It was fun seeing historic video and hear from many of the drivers.
I became impressed with...
The Indy race was better than the F1 race. I watched the Indy race and checked the F1 race for the start and a couple times during Indy commercials (the F1 presentation was weird, the race in a window with some guys in smaller windows shooting the breeze). There was a lot going on in the Indy...
I like the idea of having the cars with a feature to limit the top speed when in caution areas, all the cars maintain their position. But I don't understand the rules for giving a lap back or moving cars around.
I was looking for live timing and scoring on the LeMans site and what I found blanked my screen (had to reboot). Is there a site that shows the current scoring? I'd like to check how various teams are doing.
I'm looking forward to see how the NACSCAR platform performs this weekend. I figure the car has had controlled testing with simulation equipment plus a lot of real world testing via weekly races with 40 cars. I figure the Garage 56 car is based of the Cup car with changes teams dream of...
I'm not a fan of street courses, They are usually concrete canyons where the driver can't see around a corner. The Chicago track looks a little interesting (not sure how narrow the track is). I'm guessing a pass will involve trading paint.
I understand that the F1 virtual safety car means drivers must reduce their speed to some percentage. I'm wondering how officials enforce it. I can't believe a driver can run the proper speed on their own (they would be tempted to fudge the speed). Is there a car feature that limits the...
I noticed a few lapped cars made it harder for Ross to pass during the end of the race. I think some drivers experienced Ross' rough driving and drivers have long memories.
Bubba made a second move to block and that doesn't work, but that as the only move he had if he wanted a chance to win. Tony pointed out both drivers did what they had to do - it is the nature of super speedways.
I recently sold my 2011 Hyundai Genesis, a performance luxury sedan with a rear wheel drive and a V8 (I bought it used). I had no problems for over 10 years but the E-brake module failed last fall and it took 2-1/2 months to get a really expensive replacement part. So I bought a new Nissan...
