She’s better than Kellet. I think the Foyt team is in for another very tough season. They’re going to have by far the most inexperienced driver lineup with another rookie in Kirkwood and second […]

Crypto currencies are a scam, and they’re generally bad for the environment too. This blog post pretty much sums up my feelings on them. Now is it any worse than tobacco money in motorsports, I don’t know?

Internal combustion engines maybe totally banned in Europe in 10 years, but there are plenty of places in the world where towns and cities are spread out(i.e. the western United States and parts of Africa), and […]

Porsche has always been the VW brand who’s primary focus is sports cars. Porsche will have Penske running factory backed teams with their new LMDh in both IMSA and the WEC starting in 2023. Audi will be running […]

The FIA have other race directors. After Whiting’s untimely death I was hoping that the FIA would move Eduardo Freitas over from the WEC to be the new permanent F1 race director. He has a ton of experience, is […]

I never thought I read about or actually see Nascar-style “start and park” cars in F1.

The F1 and MotoGP races at Cota will get cancelled, because of no free ICU beds in hospitals if the situation in Austin is still this bad in October.

@Jay It isn’t that Texas is going to start caring now, because they’re not as long as Greg Abbott is the governor. The issue is that the MotoGP regulations say they have to have a letter signed from the 2 or 3 […]

Concerning the COTD, Racer is reporting that the Japanese GP is going to be cancelled.

@Dane The rumors are that both Hinch and RHR are out after this season. There is a good chance that RHR will move to an Andretti run sports car team and drive for them in the 500. Hinch has been anonymous this […]

Red Bull released O’Ward because he didn’t have enough points to get a super license. The FIA reduced the super license points awarded for Indy Lights the year O’Ward won the championship, because it […]

Or they could actually try staying within track limits. F1 drivers and teams are the biggest whiners in sports, and that’s saying something. I hope the FIA doesn’t give in, but they’re gutless and probably will.

The root cause is Pirelli make cr*p racing tires and can’t admit it.

If you want to see what it is like to drive a current Indycar, here is a visor cam video from Newgarden at yesterday’s test.

I don’t get it either. I think Extreme E is nothing but a greenwashing exercise. Let’s take off road vehicles to remote(for the most part undisturbed locations) and tear up the terrain. This is nothing but a […]

Out of all the motorsports associations and sports leagues around the world leave it to F1/the FIA to cause the biggest mess and most confusion. Shambolic.

All of the factory MotoGP bikes(I think all of the satellite team bikes now too) have had “seamless shifting” transmissions that don’t require you to pull in the clutch lever for a couple of seasons now. The only […]

@david-br Two big reason why they won’t have the Miami race in November. November is still hurricane season. Secondly, the NFL season is in full swing by November, and Hard Rock Stadium is where the Dolphins […]

If F1 wasn’t on ESPN there is no way I’d pay for the F1 streaming service to watch these just flat out boring races. If I wanted to watch a racing series where it is all about who has the best start, I’d go to […]
