[Indianapolis Motor Speedway @IMS]

The best day of the year has finally arrived 🥹

Here is when you will see all of the iconic pageantry before the green flag drops this afternoon for the 110th Running of the #Indy500 presented by @GainbridgeLife.

This graphic showing the size of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway never fails to amaze me

🚨🏌️⏪ #REWIND: Never forget when the ninth alternate found out he was in the PGA Championship field at Crooked Stick… his name, John Daly.

Daly (25) drove 8 hours non stop, didn't play a practice round & then went on to win his first major championship.

Wow, had to tell, I just couldn’t hold it anymore 🤣🤣

Pouca gente sabe, mas em 2017, Scott Dixon sofreu uma das batidas mais cinematográficas da Indy 500.
O carro decolou, bateu na barreira e se desintegrou.
Minutos depois, Dixon saiu andando.

Bugatti just lost its all-time speed record. To the Chinese EV in this video. 308 mph at Papenburg, on a battery.

The Chiron Super Sport had held the record for six years. 1,600 hp, 8.0L W16, four turbochargers. Bugatti needed every horse of that to hit 304 mph. BYD's Yangwang U9 Xtreme did 308 with four electric motors and a battery pack.

Marc Basseng, the driver, won the Nürburgring 24 Hours. He said the run was "technically not possible with a combustion engine." He's right.

A combustion engine produces a power curve that peaks at a specific RPM and falls off either side. Past 9,000 RPM the valves float, the connecting rods stretch, the pistons can't reverse direction fast enough. The W16 is the absolute thermodynamic ceiling of 100 years of internal combustion. Every mph past 290 cost exponentially more engineering for diminishing returns.

The U9 Xtreme uses four electric motors. Each produces 744 hp. Each spins to 30,000 RPM. No valves. No pistons. No connecting rods. Total system output is 2,978 hp, almost double Bugatti's W16. Power-to-weight is 1,217 hp per tonne.

The motors were never the hard part. Mate Rimac said this years ago. The constraint was always the battery, because to deliver 2,978 hp into four wheels you have to discharge faster than any production EV ever has.

BYD built the world's first 1,200-volt production car. Everyone else uses 800V. The Blade Battery runs lithium iron phosphate cells with a 30C discharge rate, ten times what a conventional EV battery handles. Heat generation falls 67% versus 800V at matching output.

That last number is the whole game. Heat is what kills high-power EV runs. Other automakers derate within seconds at full power because the battery cooks itself. BYD's architecture lets the Xtreme hold maximum discharge long enough to actually approach the aerodynamic limit of the chassis.

Bugatti spent 20 years engineering the W16 to its physical ceiling. BYD spent 18 months building the architecture that cleared it.

They're making 30 of them.

The crown for fastest production car on Earth has belonged to Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Hennessey, SSC. All combustion, all European or American. The crown is Chinese now, and it runs on a battery.

🚨❌📱 #KICKED OUT — 13-time PGA Tour winner Mark Calcavecchia was removed from Augusta National grounds by security on Tuesday after he was caught using his cell phone, a violation of the club’s no phone policy.

In Philadelphia in the 1970s, it wasn't unusual to see bumper stickers that said:
"Only the Lord saves more than Bernie Parent".
One of the greatest goalies in history, he helped the Flyers win two straight Stanley Cups on his way to the Hall of Fame.
This is his story.

This is incredible.

This machine is capable of cleaning up 100 million kg of plastic ocean waste, and as of 2025, it has already collected about 500,000 kg of plastic.

It aims to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.

Today Jordan Gumberg won on the @DPWorldTour

A reminder that he wouldn’t have been in the event and would have lost his card, if he didn’t make this wedge on the final hole of the season last year.

Think about how ridiculous that is.

Wab Kinew on Trump's remarks about US women's hockey team: "I'm a hockey parent through & through... not because I have dreams of NHL greatness in the future for my kids ... I want them to learn how to be respectful, win or lose. And on that count, Team USA men's team failed us."
