Shouldn't ever have been a thing. Race director should be the one that calls principals.

I totally agree with this. It almost feels like a wrestling tag team match where the ref is being distracted by the heel team or something.

It's either this or Mario kart booster lines, pick your poison

The Formula E fan boost says "Hi."

Aussie V8 Supercars has it right. Race Control says their rulings for the broadcast and to all teams. There are no rebuttals.

I actually doubt that one. The counter would be that F-Zero was named based on Formula Branding before F-Zero was a thing. See F2 and F3k.

True, not sure how effective a trademark is, but it’s been trademarked since the snes days.

Endurance racing season has begun. The Rolex 24 at Daytona happening this Saturday. It's the final season of DPi with Mazda no longer in the class.

So where to watch it?

1:30 pm - 2:30pm ET NBC
2:30pm - 4:00pm ET Peacock
4:00pm - 7:00pm ET USA Network
7:00pm - 10:00pm ET Peacock
10:00pm - 3:00am ET USA Network
3:00am - 6:00am ET Peacock
6:00am - 12:00pm ET USA Network
12:00pm ET - 2:00pm ET NBC

Yep usual NBC broadcasting mess. But I did learn that there is a promotion for Charter/Spectrum tv and internet subscribers for a free year (tv) or 90 days (interenet).

Helio takes it home for Meyer Shank Racing in the Acura DPi.

Ben Keating doing the usual double gets a podium finish in DPi and a 4th in LMP2. DragonSpeed with Pato O'Ward and Colton Herta win the class.

And holy hell the final lap for GTDPro had the two Porches fighting for the lead since sunrise to the final lap with Jaminet and Vanthoor nearly wrecking each other at the Bus Stop with Vanthoor spinning and finishing 3rd.

And the biggest loser are the fans who have to deal with NBCs shit coverage.

The ending of the Rolex 24 for GTDPro. 10 minutes of hard racing. They were back and forth for hours.

Why is the Walmart logo upside down

[Nitsuki]

God man, so fucking pretty but jesus christ RBR, your camouflage liveries were top tier compared to your copy pasta.

Why is the Walmart logo upside down

Guess to remind Checo and Max they need to stop by Walmart.

Onboard camera. The Tag Heuer is also reversed.

And according to a guy on reddit who works in the industry supplying F1 teams, the chassis for most of the teams will be very similar to each other as most teams (besides Haas and McLaren) have "show car" chassis and won't reveal the true car until Bahrain testing (and likely an earlier car version in Barcelona testing)

So expect the reveals this month to be only of the livery and showing off the 2022 sponsors.

The AMR22

The MCL36 and McLaren IndyCar and Extreme E liveries.

The MCL36 is pretty close to the actual car but some components hidden until testing in Bahrain.
