In theory I like WEC more than F1, I just haven't figured out how to watch it. I also love WRC.
Anyway--this fucking car is my favorite thing right now in going fast on 4 wheels (can't say "racing" because it's not a regulation race car). I just love the way she sounds and obviously her performance is just insane. Porsche's erstwhile absence in F1 is a gaping void--my favorite race car manufacturer by a long shot and probably the most storied. Shout out the the driving on this lap too.... especially considering the G forces, a monumental achievement.

he topped out very quickly on that straight, that thing GETS. I have no idea how you can control a car so precisely when your head is bouncing around the cabin like a futbol in the dryer.

@motojobobo said in Motor Circus (Sport):
I’m wondering when the mods will change this thread title to “Motor Circus” to keep the forum a credible place.
As requested

Yeah like coming out of the turn that electric motor just PULLS that thing up to speed. What an amazing machine.
I want to see the McMurtry Speirling on the ‘ring next.
-
There's a first time for everything. I totally agree with Max,,,,,,,,
-
Max’s takes past couple of years have been pretty good on a lot of topics IMO. I hate how much I agree with him.
But WHAT A RACE! It was so good. What a great surprise. They really need to make a few changes going forward like most obviously doing it earlier in the season but excellent motor racing.
-
I like Max, but I wanted to see Checo or Leclerc on top. Bummer to see Lando biff it. The race did turn out great, good action, better than I thought.
-
Yeah I was pulling for Lando. That one hurt
-
This is how a race engine should sound. What a beast. This makes me wish V12s and Cosworth would return to F1 and reaffirms Gordon Murray’s place in the pantheon. Top Gear also have a more in depth review worth a watch but this is all about the sound and the (12k) RPMs

@mclaincausey LOL good stuff! Serious question about the deal with Perez though - I know they had a 'season performance clause' or something in his contract, like I'm sure many contracts are (except Sargent apparently) - but, was there any serious consideration that you know of regarding his removal or demotion? ...aside from disgruntled 'fans'? I though he had a pretty well-deserved 2nd. I'm fairly new to F1 but the rumor mill seems pretty intense.

@mclaincausey HAHAHHA BRILLIANT!!

I tried to post some of his garage cutaways but it would not work. Trying again.
Well I got one. Couldn’t get Merc or RB to work.
Ok jumping thru hoops to get RBR:
And Merc:
Look closely. There’s details like the lost diamond from Monaco and other amazing things in these.
-
@mclaincausey ROFL the Spicebus!!!!!
so much gold in these. Lewis's wardrobe....the redbull catering HAHA
-
I know. The cutaways are a little old so some of the humor may be lost to context folks have forgotten but so many Easter eggs. Funny funny man he is.

@mclaincausey I love rally but don’t really know where to reliably watch it. Same as F1 until just last year when I found it on Hulu with the Disney/espn triple pack

@WhiskeySandwich unfortunately for me it’s gonna require a subscription
