Kevin Lee said on the radio this evening that Penske have had the wheels programmed not to display green LED lights when using P2P - legally or illegally - for a little bit now, so that other teams can’t see on the live broadcast and tell their drivers. But the button pushes are suspicious.

Very deep dive but well worth the read. Yes, it is true that the series allowed anytime deployment of P2P during testing. However, it wasn’t necessarily a simple ECU/software version carryover error as the team claims. It details that it’s more likely the CLU - essentially the intermediary...

It wasn’t discovered until morning warmup at Long Beach. Race control hadn’t yet turned on P2P in the first ten minutes or so yet the Penske cars were shown activating it.

It’s attributed to using the same software used during the hybrid testing so it wouldn’t have been in the car last year.

Not a good look for Josef or Scottie really. They know it’s not supposed to be available then.

Must’ve monkeyed around with the ECU. The 2 and the 3 got caught using it on starts and restarts.

Interesting. Tom Blomqvist will be at Road America for IndyCar on Le Mans test day, and as a Gold-rated driver he wouldn’t have the same dispensation to miss it as Dixon and Palou do. Would be a huge opportunity for Drugo; God knows his F1 ambitions aren’t going anywhere at Aston.

Nice to see the NASCAR competition department lurks here. :D

A couple of record lows…bummer.

Heather Gibbs has been getting much more involved with the team over the past year or so and I think she’s the natural successor at this point. The Harris Blitzer minority investment came about as part of the relationship newly established through the Commanders, and it doesn’t seem like...

Murray with a couple of incredibly tough makes to win it. Incredible comeback. Lakers played well, just think this Nuggets team is gonna beat them no matter what.

Crazy, crazy Game 2 between Knicks/Sixers. Maxey sold so hard at the end.

FOX Sports is a part of the of the portion they didn’t sell to Disney and spun off into FOX Corp.

Really hope Jimmie can put together a respectable run this weekend. If it were ever going to happen, this would be the place to do it.

I think the 2024 thread probably ran its course. Turns out there is, sort of. Rumors are that Jody and Tad Geschickter may be taking their Kroger sponsorship program and joining the JGR ownership group. That would leave only Daugherty and Gordon Smith with equity in the team. And at that...

They got rid of those as far back as the beginning of COVID, with the Gen 6, to allow teams to sell that space to sponsors. NASCAR, in turn, gave the contingency sponsors digital assets. Now that space is obviously mostly reserved for the number placement.

Stroll was looking at the apex of the corner and missed what was happening in front of him. Then he tried to pass off blame to Ricciardo. There is neither a sense of awareness nor accountability with him.

Seems like more often than not, dudes who come over from Europe wind up saying this:

We know how good Lando is, but Piastri was supposed to be next, and so far he just hasn’t been. Norris blows him away in race pace. Some of these other dudes, in a just world, would be updating their LinkedIn right now. The same guys keep making the same mistakes and get to keep hanging around...
