@VincentJBruins They just seem more and more out of touch, it's absolutely diabolical that we went from having full NISMO TV broadcasts worldwide less than ten years ago to absolutely nothing now, with very little signs of it changing for the better.
JUST STREAM IT ON YOUTUBE, IF YOU HAVE NO TV DEAL IN PLACE! WHY DO YOU INSIST ON MAKING IT SO DIFFICULT?!
It's 2026. The fact that the only way for me to watch the Super GT races this year completely depended on a friend in Japan who recorded them for me, is beyond insane.
👑 THE REALIZE GT-R WINS THE 2026 #SUPERGT GT300 CHAMPIONSHIP ‼️
Starting from P17, both Iori Kimura and Joao Paulo de Oliveira drove their hearts off, making an incredible comeback to finish 4th, securing Kondo Racing's third GT300 championship.
hird GT300 title for Oliveira and the first for Kimura. ㊗️
👑 THE STANLEY HRC PRELUDE-GT WINS THE MOTEGI FINALE AND THE 2026 #SUPERGT GT500 CHAMPIONSHIP ‼️
Naoki Yamamoto and Tadasuke Makino have overturned the odds with their third win of the season, taking Team Kunimitsu's first title since 2020 and giving Honda's new HRC Prelude-GT the championship in its debut season.
Third GT500 title for Yamamoto, second for Makino. ㊗️
We are deeply saddened to learn that Alan Jones has passed away at the age of 80.
Jones won the 1980 F1 world drivers’ championship for Williams and won 12 grands prix across his career in the series.
The Australian also won the 1978 Can-Am championship.
Motor Sport sends its deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Alan.
@Its_GiantsSZN Seems they've combined the "original" and "updated" layouts into one map. The original has the hairpin which cuts off the right, while the updated layout extends over the hill and appears to rejoin at the exit of the original hairpin. At least that's what I think they've done.
🚨 Ford will return as a full factory manufacturer entrant in the World Rally Championship from 2028!
M-Sport will design, build and run a brand new Ford rally car based on a yet-to-be-released passenger vehicle for the 2029 WRC season. In 2027 and 2028 it will run Fiesta Rally2s upgraded to Rally1-spec via a homologated kit 🔧
From 2028, M-Sport's entry will transition to Ford Racing, the first time the Blue Oval has been an outright WRC factory team since 2012.
@Ziron331 - Christijan Albers, 2006, Midland F1 Racing (renamed Spyker mid-season)
- Timo Glock, 2011, Virgin Racing
That's the first two I can think of but guaranteed there's loads more, especially the further back you go. 2010-2013 probably has a couple more too.
@RosewoodRobin It's because they're increasing the fuel flow limit for next year in order to boost the engine power and rely less on battery, so more fuel is used. Instead of forcing the teams to redesign the cars with bigger fuel tanks immediately, they're shortening races to compensate.
