    Yes, I think I was confusing tire life in lap length to fuel-mandated stops.

    GT BoP seems a bit fucked, must say, but whatever. At least not Ford neither Corvette won.
    Bad take.

    It was a pair of F1 cars against a field of F2 cars and you're clapping wildly because they didn't put the cars into the wall on their own. Bad. You should feel shame for having that opinion.

    No competition isn't just weak for not having to compete, it also means they didn't have to push at all. Completely hollow win. They bought it and it's theirs, but lets not kid ourselves here.

    I feel sorry for Alonso and Toyota for enduring years of nothing so I'm glad they won!

    Tyler shared some of those BMW ones earlier in chat, the one with the 3 Fords ahead of it is tops.

    I was waiting for and expecting a podium one of Alonso just like that, and now seeing it made real, it is better than I could ever have imagined.

    Apparently they added a machined part inside the rig to help the fuel flow faster. TDS, who actually runs both teams, admits to the modification, but their defense was that nothing in the rules prohibited adding parts.

    That defense did not work.

    The359, pretty dumb people commenting that FIAWEC post over Facebook.
    People commenting about staggered finishes as rigged result? ROFL.

    Eh. That’s social media for you.

    (Might I direct your attention to Le Mans 1966?)
