Thanks @michaelbuble in only 8 months for spending 7,225 minutes with us and our daughter in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to When You're Smiling a total of 2554 times
Our daughter would only settle for you! #spotifywrapped2022

@RSL_Studio I said in the week I can't make it this year but I'm definitely not missing out

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@RSL_Studio in the ford hospitality centre you will find @ThinkScalextric running slot cars over the week from Oxford. They came and ran the evening entertainment at our wedding in 2016! They are both new to le mans this year is the first time they have been to the race!

@RSL_Studio whilst we are talking aerodynamics...... what is the insect status this year? Last year the fly's played a big part of the cooling issues
Due to the late arrival of the birds coming up from Africa

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@RSL_Studio #21rsl24 I'm in France on a family holiday. I will only be an hour away from the track during the race. I'm listening online ATM it's a shame to be here and missing it

@RSL_Studio ash Sutton became btcc champion in 2017 driving the levorg I believe that to be the only championship won by an estate car

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@RSL_Studio @RSL_Studio both in estate bodys

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@RSL_Studio ash Sutton raced the Subaru levor in btcc and team dynamics ran a civic for couple of seasons

@IMSARadio “You’re doing great. The safety car just set a personal best for longest lap time in Daytona history.”

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@IMSARadio “Fuel looks good. Engine looks good. Driver still alive — blinking confirmed.”
And for the really long cautions:
“If you get bored, count how many brake lights flick on ahead. That’s your new endurance challenge.”

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@IMSARadio “If this yellow lasts any longer, you’ll have time to start a podcast called Still Behind the Safety Car.”
“Remember: smooth inputs… unless you’re waving sarcastically at the safety car.”

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@IMSARadio
“Yellow flag again… good news is you’re officially the fastest car in a very expensive traffic jam.”
“Relax, you’re not losing time — you’re just aggressively sightseeing Florida.”
“On the plus side, the tyres are cooling. On the minus side, so is your soul.”

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@IMSARadio
I wasn’t actually chatting to a driver at the Daytona 24 Hours. No radio headset, no yellow-flag banter from pit lane, sadly.
That said… if I were tasked with keeping a driver awake, sane, and slightly amused during a long yellow, the jokes would 100% be dad-level,

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@IMSARadio i asked chatgpt about those jokes

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@RSL_Studio #20RLM24 going FCY for such a short period of time means everyone gets treated the same. If it was a SZ then it would be unfair to only a handful of cars maybe.....

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@RSL_Studio #20RLM24 we know about the troubles for the #63 but I'd like to know who was the last car/team who was refused entry to the race on technicalities........

[james lewis @typeRjames]

#B12Hr I'm not sure I will make it to the end but! I've just started playing @thegranturismo #7 and I'm on the last championship ship right this minute in a Merc GT and the next races are at Bathurst, le mans and spa! I have the 888 livery on the car as well. Thank for the coms!

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@Maximcoppensde I don't think it's ever happened at le mans during race conditions

[james lewis @typeRjames]

@RSL_Studio #RSL_24H
