Max looked like he'd sucked down a bag of lemons before going to Parc Fermé

 

As long as it burns dino remains. They're already talking about the return of the electric Camaro in a few years

 

He was smiling quite a bit, unlike Jos.

 

I've read Corvette and a switch to Cadillac.. but that would be absolutely major change

 

Cadillac would make some brand sense if they get the F1 entry too.

 

Giant giant change for nascar though

 

Yeah but those NASCAR drivers will be racing in luxury. Cooled leather seats, 26 speaker Infinity stereos with wireless CarPlay and that Supercruise autonomous driving

Meanwhile the NASCAR series is out destroying COTA this weekend. Just in time for the bikes in a few weeks

 

Nascar's don't hurt the track Unlike F1 cars. Nascar are on top of the track F1 cars are basically in the track under braking

 

In my experience that is inaccurate. I have ridden COTA before and after Nascar has been there and those big heavy pigs do not do the track any favors...

 

It's OK, it's not like there's any track limits going on. The nascars are probably only on the track for 25% of the lap.

 

Was there anything else on the track besides nascar?

 

No idea. I just know that Nascar was in between smoothish and bumpy track and I had not heard of any other activities besides Nascar.

 

Interesting maybe the soil at cots makes a difference. At the other tracks it doesn't seem to at all

 

This is the first Nascar race I've watched in probably 20 years, it's the dumbest shit ever. They get points in tbe middle of the race? And now there's overtime?

 

This NASCAR race is dumb. They need to start using the half course to get it over with sooner. They don’t even attempt to stay on course

 

At least the racing line should be OK. The Nascrap cars were never on it...

 

An interview with Jenson Button said that was the most fun he's ever had on a racetrack, he wants more!
I didn't hear a Kimi interview.

 

Nobody can hear a Kimi interview.

 

Kimi was up the 4th with about 20 laps to go, but he got punted and then a bunch of other bad luck. I saw his interview, he basically laughed about it all and said he had a good time. Wouldn't commit to any future races with them.

 

Which means he'll probably do a couple more this year
