‼️ Don’t believe everything you read online! 👀 There are so many fake news pages using AI pictures on social media now sharing completely fake stories - including ‘WRC Rally Astralis’, ‘WRC Racing Track’, ‘Gravel Kings’ and ‘WRC Apex Hunters’ (see the photos).
Please unfollow them - everything on those pages is completely made up, and a lot of it is harmful! For anyone who has seen any of those pages recently: no, Pernilla is not unwell and Oliver isn’t retiring at the end of the season… it’s all just lies to get attention, so please don’t give them any.
If in doubt, always check official driver, team, WRC and known media accounts to verify if something is true. Thank you 🙏
The 85th Indianapolis 500 is held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Race rookie Hélio Castroneves of Brazil, a three-year veteran of the CART series, leads the final 52 laps and wins the race.
Team Penske swept 1st/2nd, with Gil de Ferran finishing as runner-up.
Toyota WRC Challenge Program star Jaspar Vaher was leading ERC Sweden by 9.7s on his top-category debut until an SS12 crash 💥
No headline result for Vaher – but he's left a very strong impression on the rallying world this week with his speed 😲
This is nuts.
Gary Newman, creator of Rust and Gary's Mod, just got banned from Facepunch.
The forums that discuss his games booted him because he refused to condemn and disavow his coworkers and friends over anti-immigration sentiment.
Moderators and forum users pressured him to publicaly condemn or distance himself from these views. He refused.
Multiple moderators pounced, banning him in quick succession (a wall of bans pile on). Note that Facepunch forums was started by many of the former mods who worked for him.
Ironic that Gary closed the original forums because of politics, in part. Now politics has come for him.
