KB18 wins Xfinity at ISM. Yawn.
Strong start to the IndyCar season. I really thought Rosenqvist was going to win it.
FIA Director of Formula 1 Charlie Whiting sadly passed away this morning in Melbourne, aged 66, as the result of a pulmonary embolism, three days before the Australian Grand Prix which will open the F1 season.
NASCAR Cup qualifying in California was very strange today. Everyone wanted to draft so they wait until the last moment to go onto the track in session 2 and three. They have to leave pit road in time to get around the track to the start/finish line before time runs out for their lap times to count. They all made it in round two but just barely. In round three, they wanted to wait a little longer to try to keep the back part of the field from making it before the clock ran out. Nobody wanted to lead so they didn't speed up enough and the front cars didn't make it in time so none of the field registered a time in the final qualifying session so they had to use their second session times. If one of the slower cars had set a time in the third session, they would have gotten the poll.
Because they've gone full retard with the format. Just do single car. It's not supposed to be exciting. That's what Sunday is for.
watching Sebring on MotorTrend TV for now.
a few big offs.
mostly civilized racing.
big name former F1 drivers in the field.
Buemi, Fisichella, Alonso, Nakajima, Maldonado, etc.
nice to see them get a chance to race in the WEC
