@AlexBrundle 350KW superclip means 400-350=50KW (67hp) to drive the wheels, right? How is that better?

Checkers are in the air from WeatherTech Raceway at Laguna Seca!

Jacob Reid, on his own team, survives the chaos to win the GTP class! Michael Polasek, soloing for G-Force Racing, takes victory in the GTO!

@ThruTheEsses I watched this race and they missed the restart on every caution.

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@MattWeaverRA Next gen has too much drag and handling doesn't matter so they can all run partial throttle and easily keep up. I wouldn't mind 50hp taken off if the car had less drag. Body surely has enough drag and downforce that the big spoiler isn't needed?

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@jeff_gluck Ready to be disappointed but optimistic this will be a step forward. The hole was dug for 20 years and the ladder isn’t long enough to get out, but NASCAR can still try to climb. If the championship is overhauled, the points need to be as well, but I doubt it will happen.

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@CorvetteRacin48 I don't understand. Like with all of their highlights, the video is terrible and has no context for anything so you can't understand the race at all. This is a joke to treat the end of any race like this. I didn't even realise it had gone to the last lap.

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@formuleo_ The race is 2 months in the year later next year so should be much better for heat.

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@OfficialBSB @bennetts_bike @DoningtonParkUK @eurosport So because Tommy was off pace he starts at the back, but because Glenn was off pace but pitted on lap 1 to change tyres (and then was still off pace) he starts only 6 places lower than he did for Race 1? Bit of an unfair rule imo.

@Formula2 Just keep the safety car out if they can't race each other.

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@PabloGz @iRacing From my experience driving the W13, which has surface and core temps on the dash, it seems the core heats up more on a straight than corners. Could be surface temp transferring? Although being in dirty air helps keep temps down. Not a tyre expert but something seems weird.

@IndyCarChick @mama_gforce @SophieTalksF1 @TwommoF1 @By_NathanBrown @marshallpruett For broadcast, since 2019. Which I think was the first year of full NBC and the current timing tower.

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@PitLanes @EmptyBox_007 @IndyCar No but the official Grand Prix Series are allowed to use F1 tracks and any leagues using the F1 cars are allowed be actually broadcasted. The IR-18 cannot be used on Indycar tracks and any races using any of the 3 Indycars cannot be broadcast.

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@iRacing @MercedesF1Esp Done many laps and I've also used it to visit space for a short while, was a fun trip.

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@hpayne62 @bobpockrass Yes

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@KensethFan17_20 I think the driers and stuff they have do a better job than the cars. Probably the only advantage they have over other series in these conditions.

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@jeff_gluck This is the right choice, it's too wet. Let the rain ease a bit and clear the standing water and get going in 30 minutes time.

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@denkmit The solution to "not as good as it could be" racing (calling it bad is wrong, it's still enjoyable) is not more racing. The F1 sprints only exist for the big crypto cheque and I can see this being similar.

[Jacob Reid @JacobReid66]

@JettMDK First thought was 2010 Sonoma and it had just as many.
