@piersmorgan Are you 12?

In 1991 #OnThisDay:

A surprise winner in the @24hoursoflemans as the soon-to-be-outlawed rotary engine powered the Mazda 787 @johnnyherbertf1, @bgachot & Volker Weidler to an unlikely success.

Quite the swansong for the screaming rotary.

....a Moynet LM75 with Christine Dacremont & Marianne Hoepfner, has held high-ranking @fia roles in her retirement amd much more.

A true game-changer, she's quite simply the Queen of Rallying.

Happy Birthday, Michèle 🇫🇷

Happy Birthday to Michèle Mouton, the first female to win a major Rally title & @OfficialWRC runner-up in 1982.

Awarded the Légion d'Honneur in 2011, Michèle won the 2 litre prototype series at the @24hoursoflemans in 1985...

@piersmorgan Wrong again

[The Hard Compound @TheHardCompound]

@Beer_Ace69 @HyperspaceSquad @MrBeast Yes.

The difference is that the USA & Australia, as well as Ireland, have their own version of "football".

They're globally known as American Football, Aussie Rules and Gaelic Football, the original football was adapted, like those sports.

Because football is called football.

@gov_fails American Moon Landings in my lifetime: 0

Senegalese Moon Landings in my lifetime: 0

Senegal are as good at space travel as the USA. Pretty cool 👍

@HyperspaceSquad @MrBeast And then stopped.
Like the rest of the world.

@NicoleOnRacing I like the "car" and "Nurburgring" parts

...the series in 2005, the Indy 500 that year and, dramatically, in 2012.

He was lost in an horrendous accident at @LVSpeedway - aged just 33.

His sons Seb & Oliver are racers in their own right.

Rest In Peace, Dan 🇬🇧

Remembering 2-time Indy 500 winner & 2005 @IndyCar Champion, Dan Wheldon.

"Lionheart" would have been 48 today.

The 1999 US F2000 champion made 128 IndyCar starts for Panther Racing, @AndrettiIndy, @CGRTeams & @BHA, winning...

@janelsooo Alexa, show me why the rest of the world doesn't like America being involved in football.

[The Hard Compound @TheHardCompound]

A truncated 2-lap dash to the finish at @roadamerica sees @lundgaardoff take a 2nd @IndyCar win from LAST place on lap 1 for @ArrowMcLaren.

@malukasdavid takes 2nd again ahead of @CGRTeams' @kyffin_simpson after last lap drama.

Breathless!

Ohhh @MarcusArmstrng when will you get some good fortune?

Heartbreaking engine blow for @MeyerShankRac's young Kiwi late on at @roadamerica.

Rotten, rotten luck.

The Sunday, as every day, we remember Piers Courage; Frank Williams' first @F1 GP driver who was tragically lost on this day in 1970 following an accident during the Dutch GP at Zandvoort.

He took 2 podiums from 27 starts.

Rest In Peace, Piers 🇬🇧
