@harrismonkey That’s what happens when they employ a test driver who’s more comfortable rippin’ lap times than sliding sideways. And when the editor doesn’t understand the difference between a clean drift (especially the ending of one) & the car simply losing traction.
@PPfanner Excellent race & equally excellent article by Robin Miller! Congrats to him, to the drivers in IndyCar & especially to @IndyCaronNBC for an incredible season. Whatever racing fans aren’t watching this series need to ask themselves if they’re racing fans at all.
@PPfanner Ben Ferencz is inspiration personified. To have that attitude after the devastation and disregard for human life he's seen? Amazing. What an example of what compassion with action looks like. Thanks for sharing, PP!
Racing Art | I started this one months ago but walked away from it when I got busy with other stuff. Depicts the Aston Martin Vantage GTE that won Le Mans in the GTE Pro class in ‘17 — This piece is currently for sale, so if you know someone who might like it, feel free to share
As a proponent of canopy-style driver protection since my senior thesis at ACCD in ‘91 when I started designing open-wheel cars with canopies, I applaud IndyCar for this aero screen. That was nearly 30 yrs ago, so yeah, I feel qualified to say it’s about damn time! [ 🎤mic drop ]
F1 SPOILER ALERT: Let me get this right; the fastest guy in FP3, the local hero, the fastest guy at Ferrari... didn’t advance out of Q1 because someone thought his time was safe? Someone at Scuderia Ferrari needs to go! Heads should roll. Inexcusable & shameful.
@TommyKendall11 I’ve tried & tried, & am trying again this season, so far to no avail. They just seem slow... the “racing” anything but. Ugh... bring back ‘90s Group C cars. And while at it, ‘90s Trans-Am... & CART. Actually, IndyCar seems one of the few series getting it right currently.
