Why would we bring back V10s when we could instead bring back the Alfa Romeo Bimotore powertrain which features sixteen cylinders four drivetrains two supercharged engines and a partridge in a pear tree

extremely loose digital drawing of a Porsche looming behind an Acura into Turn 1 of the Daytona road course during golden hour

Hi hello I forgot my password for here but I GOT IT BACK so we're 1: so back and 2: I have a new shitty drawing for you that I did during the 24 hours of Daytona. It is of a Porsche looming behind an Acura at golden hour. I like IMSA a lot.

It greatly angers me the degree to which people I consider to be somewhat reasonable do not have a fucking clue about Venezuela and refuse to get one

The United States will get away with impunity and will make martyrs out of monsters because nuance and history mean nothing to you

I might need to do a Christmas retrospective on the Star Wars holiday special because you don't understand the amount that it makes me laugh

The thing that American (and really some of you from a lot of other rich countries too) leftists don’t grasp is that opposition to american empire alone is not actually indicative of being competent or well-intentioned and that’s ruining any conversations about my home country and driving me insane

It fucking KILLS me man because Maduro is SO fucking incompetent and the US government is doing literally everything to make sure people rally behind him anyway because THEY ARE EASILY AND CLEARLY THE WORSE AND MORE FRIGHTENING OPTION

If it's true that Helmut Marko is leaving Red Bull, that marks the THIRD key figure in the team to get gone within one calendar year. Newey left officially sometime in Q1 this year. Horner got sacked midyear. Now Marko.

That tell-all in 10 years is going to go CRAZY. What a rapid dissolution

Michael Schumacher stands in front of a wood panel backdrop wearing a light teal DEKRA sweater, smiling ominously at the camera as he holds a Sauber C9 1:4 model

I will miss the Sauber name greatly. The first team I was genuinely and unironically a fan of in spite of insane levels of flop.

I will miss you my beautiful, beloved, flunkies. Too broke for sportscars, just broke enough to go out on a season with a podium and points on the last race in F1

He said it's naptime

Odd to me that they didn't just slap 5 seconds on both of them and move on with their lives

Objectively a McLaren should win this title because of how spectacular that car is

However it is a glaring indictment on the drivers that someone is this close to spoil the party lmfao

No one is as funny about this year's F1 championship as Alex Palou very publicly rooting for Max Verstappen and saying nothing about the alternatives

I do actually want something insanely funny to happen tomorrow in F1 bc I feel like this season of motorsport has been very underwhelming and I need something absurdist and hilarious to be the shot to my Richard Childress In Court chaser

John Rawls vs Robert Nozick always entertaining always funny to me sometimes you just have to read two people disagreeing real hard and real strong with each other for pure enjoyment

Really enjoy how this picture has a sort of American family vacation energy. All matching, not one of them looks like they want to be posed for this photo

No dude it's totally your prerogative to listen to whatever but I'm still raising an eyebrow at your billionaire on your Spotify wrapped regardless

My addition to this is that if people don't want to use their platform for good we are allowed to call them jackasses. You CAN shame people who have the ability to do a lot of good and choose not to for their own convenience. Why SHOULDN'T we shame that behavior?

Every day I see everyone saying something entirely uninformed about Venezuela and I really am so tempted to start calling the US government a Maduro-planned psyop just to piss people off because my god there are 0 actual historically informed takes getting any sort of attention rn

I also just think culturally speaking there are bigger fish to fry in motorsport than fandoms acting like fandoms. The bigger they are the more weirdos they have.

But THIS warrants a response and not the other deeply gross behavior. Ok. Fine ig.

I understand people are mad at Red Bull for doing their fringe conspiracy weirdo shit to the point that encouraged crazies to go at Kimi Antonelli but at a certain point we do need to come to terms with the fact that all mainstream sports have a wing of fucking deranged online harassment regardless

Shoutout to the Nascar vs 23XI/FRM juror whose hobby is heavy drinking. I can think of no one better to make decisions

People will someday realize that hate comes for your driver not because of anything intrinsic about your driver, but because your driver is in opposition to someone else's driver. Your driver could have any kind of personality in the world and that still would not change

Shockingly the bike track built for bike races doesn't do as well when not-bikes have not-bike races on it

Well incidentally ig that doesn't happen anymore? Or maybe one lap was enough for them. Regardless I do worry a bit for McLaren wrt like..... not losing a piss load of time on their second stop

I remember reading something about how they had an issue with their pit stops where they just couldn't get their stuff to work without a cooldown period of a few laps, and I can't remember them stopping both cars close together recently, so maybe there's something to that

We thinking that the McLaren decision to not pit is related to the issues they've had this season whenever they pit both cars in a short window of time? Bc that could explain some of it

The thing that pisses me off is that well-intentioned people keep saying Trump is going after Venezuela for oil and like. You don’t know enough about Venezuela or oil to understand why that’s fundamentally missing the point.

I LIKED THE NEW PYNCHON. Do I think it is the best Pynchon to ever Pynchon? No. It is not the Crying of Lot 49 to me. HOWEVER it is still fun, it is very approachable, there's lots of songs as is Proper and Standard, and it's ONE FOR THE CHEESE-HEADS. Shadow Ticket good stop.

Iron Dames gone from WEC and their statement on it is full of em-dashes and illegible "hand"writing oh god I hate that this is how they went out

At least the young drivers are still getting funding, I am hoping the drivers all find good places to go

a very messy piece of tin foil covered in oil paint because it was used as a palette

Hello I will actually learn how to use this website now I swear apparently you have to put #art for this to work but I really don’t know anyway here’s my painting and my “palette“ (scrap of tin foil)
