I saw that, they will be in one of the GT classes. It will be interesting to see if they can get the endurance of the car worked out. I think they can get the speed and aerodynamics ok. Pit stop work will be another thing.
One year Mercedes got their front end aerodynamics all wrong. The car was coming to a crest in a hill at just the right speed and the damn thing took off like an airplane. It did a few front flips and side flips and landed in the woods about 200 feet off the track. It was a 9 out of ten if it was a gymnastic event. They thought the driver was dead until a tv shot from a chopper showed the driver sitting next to his car. I'm thinking he had to have a change of underwear. Anyhow, Mercedes had two other similar cars in the race. They called them into the pits, drove them into the garage and closed the doors behind them.

If it required an explanation, you knew this and should have included it in your post.
The fact that your post "drag queen races" came immediately after a post about drag racing (from a poster you have butted heads with 1000+'times) and one that came after a post about formula one racing, indicated that you were phishing.
He's always phishing

Great, since you and the SVT of FoMoCo are on the Cajuns Athletics board I have a couple ideas about the FR engines. Nevermind, I'll leave that to you and Ford Racing.
NM means “no message.”
I accidentally responded to your message when I was meaning to respond to someone else. But since we’re on the topic, I’m not surprised one bit that you’re a nAsCaR fan.
Should be a fun summer. Can’t wait to see how clowns like Vic and Vic-adjacent doofuses like this ruin RP even further. Might be the final deal knell.
Ah well, troll on..

It's fun to have folks on mute. Threads are much shorter and you communicate with real fans.

This weekend is the 24 hours of Le Mans on Motor trend tv. Very advanced cars with some of the tech transferred to street cars. Several years ago they showed a pit stop where they needed to change the break shoes. They did it in 35 seconds. After they did it, the car was out on the track doing over 200 mph. That's trusting your mechanic. I like the different classification of cars in the same race.
Indy Car is on NBC most of the time. It's pretty interesting when they have a road course or street course race. When they do ovals it usually degenerates to a NASCAR race. The cars look kind of stupid though.
NASCAR is NASCAR. Not much into that.
To participate in the thread, plan to get back into horse racing over the summer. It’s so much easier to follow with the channels available these days. Love the ponies.
