🚨 EXCLUSIVA | El @Circuitcat_cat ha cerrado un acuerdo multianual con la @IndyCar. La primera carrera será en julio de 2027.

La máxima categoría de monoplazas de Estados Unidos volverá a competir fuera de Norteamérica por primera vez desde 2013, con @AlexPalou como gran reclamo para la cita catalana

@WookieDrives @BoziTatarevic Not everyone needs to be starched collar Penske though. Honestly it's amazing Blaney manages to have a beard and hair there.

@BoziTatarevic *looks at my closet of SHR hoodies, all with oem branding on them*

Huh?

[Alex Ripstein @AxelRipper]

@WookieDrives "But it was REAL"

Yeah no shit, I'm aware the stunt wasn't fake. That doesn't mean anything but the downforce fan will actually make production, if it ever makes production to begin with

[Alex Ripstein @AxelRipper]

@TerribleMaps Honestly looks like not a bad R² for a linear

[Alex Ripstein @AxelRipper]

Tell that to the 20 crew

[Jeff Gluck @jeff_gluck]

In all seriousness, The Metric conversation is a little silly this week.

Metric: Larson starts on the pole
Line up by points: Larson starts on the pole

They have to set a lineup somehow since it rained. Either way, Larson would be P1.

@WookieDrives Seriously what the fuck

[Alex Ripstein @AxelRipper]

@bradxperez Amazing work to get to where you lose in a tie breaker

[Bob Pockrass @bobpockrass]

The expectation is that if the Daytona/Talladega package seems to work, that NASCAR would rather have a short-track test to work on that package in January rather than a Daytona test. Will this be the race that pushes that decision to do a short-track test?

[Alex Ripstein @AxelRipper]

@WookieDrives Always remember to put a zip tie in when tightening the boot to the shifter

[Alex Ripstein @AxelRipper]

@bradxperez @WookieDrives At that point you grab the torch and bend it over a bit

@mearn @bobpockrass

Alternatively: weighted lottery style random draw

[Alex Ripstein @AxelRipper]

Idea: set line up by owners points and random draw. 1-5 is randomized, 6-10, 11-15 etc.

[Bob Pockrass @bobpockrass]

I do think since Chase has already started, shouldn't change rules on the metric lineup if it rains during the Chase in order to keep it fair (or unfair) for everyone over the 10 races. I'd be good next yr with lineup by points or Chase drivers start in top-16 by random draw.

@WookieDrives @Carlnowinslow *but my taxes!" Bitch you just said you don't make enough money to pay taxes

[Alex Ripstein @AxelRipper]

@WookieDrives @Carlnowinslow Who is going to tell this bot about universal basic income?

[Alex Ripstein @AxelRipper]

@S1apSh0es I want to see a car be able to be run to the limit of it's design and tires and not the design of the bit behind the wheel, but anything other than that is just technical stuff

[Alex Ripstein @AxelRipper]

We got simulators for everything these days

[The FEI @FEI_Global]

Mastering every movement! ��

In Episode 4 of ‘Through the Lens’, presented by PIVO, we discover the Rundlauf, a simulator designed to replicate the movement of the horse and an invaluable tool for the French Vaulting Team. 🇫🇷🤸

Alongside Mathilde, who puts the simulator to the test herself, we learn how the team uses it to work on their coordination and technique, and perfect the finer details of their routine before taking it to horseback! ✨🐴

@WookieDrives Early Ross Chastain, but with a personality, which people find annoying
