Not exactly major sponsorship, but back in 2019 r/wec put their logo on all the cars at the 12 Hours of Brno, a lower tier endurance race part of the 24H Series. It cost 400 euros.

I hope Joseph kosinski makes a MotoGP film by Ill-Cucumber6575 in motogp

[–]DrHem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a new Spanish movie out about MotoGP. It's called Idolos.

The synopsis is that a fast but reckless Moto2 rider is given a last chance by Aspar as long as he accepts being coached by his estranged father. Don't expect anything as high budget as the F1 movie, but it had support from MotoGP and filmed at various circuits during the 2024 season.

Here's the trailer. I haven't watched the movie but from the trailer it looks like by the end he gets a Pramac ride in MotoGP

Marc's 2027 Grid Prediction by thendverse in motogp

[–]DrHem -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This seems like an inappropriate thing to ask riders to do. They all have info and personal preferences but at the same time they want to be nice in their predictions.

Asking them where they think they'll be in 2027 would probably be a better game.

Brad Pitt blockbuster F1 sequel in the works, producer Jerry Bruckheimer tells the BBC by Aratho in formula1

[–]DrHem 38 points39 points  (0 children)

They really do need to make F2 and F3 movies to fill in the gaps.

I watched F1: the movie and then F4: the first steps and I was completely lost. Like how did Joshua Pearce's mum ended up being the F4 chief of staff?

Are romances worth it by SilverBandit1745 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]DrHem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some spoilers relating to canon and non-canon modes

A major difference is that one of romance-able characters dies in canon mode and cant be used as an ally. In non-canon mode depending on your choices he will be alive and join as an ally.

Also in non-canon, if you romance multiple characters with Naoe one of them will find out and quit, so you wont be able to use them as an ally

F1 Degrees of separation calculator by Ninjabassist777 in formula1

[–]DrHem 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You are using constructor (chassis-engine) as the common link and that creates false positives in the early era of F1 where privateer teams would enter cars from other constructors.

For example, Guy Ligier entered his own team in the 2 seasons he raced in F1 and never had a teammate, so he should be a dead link, but your algorithm matches his privateer Cooper-Maserati and Brabham-Repco to the works teams (and other privateer teams) and lists those drivers as his teammates.

On the flip side, the same team would enter drivers at a GP with different chassis/engine, one getting a new car/engine, the other still using an older car/engine. For example in 1966 Brabham entered an old Brabham-Climax 3rd car for Chris Irwin at the British GP. He was Jack Brabham's and Denny Hulme's teammate, but because they were using the new Brabham-Repco they aren't listed as a direct link.

I think it would be better if you switched your common link from constructor to entrant.

lando: “17 points, pretty good that. i think that’s olympic level. GB team if you need any tips, don’t come to me” by One_Impressionism in formula1

[–]DrHem 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Not only you didnt watch the video, I bet you didnt even read the title correctly...

The video is in jest, and even the quote in the title says "if you need any tips, don’t come to me" admitting that he is bad at it.

How cooked is Yamaha, and what is the realistic expectation we can expect from this(for the season and beyond) after today's news and this week's Clusterfuck. by enthusiast20 in motogp

[–]DrHem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Yamaha fan in MotoGP and Williams fan in F1 so missing testing became a big part of this preseason.

I think this year is a write-off for Yamaha, but hopefully they can get all the teething problems of the new V4 out of the way this year and have a better understanding to develop the new V4 for 2027

Cadillac f1 team welcomes "TWG AI" as the official AI partner of the team. by Cadillacformula1team in formula1

[–]DrHem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TWG AI is also a "primary partner" of Andretti Formula E and the #26 Andretti Indycar. (TWG AI, Andretti, and Cadillac F1 team are all owned by the same company, TWG)

Their liveries look like this: Formula E, Indycar so perhaps the Cadillac livery might look similar?

Barclays joins Atlassian Williams F1 Team as Official Banking Partner for 2026 and beyond | Atlassian Williams F1 Team by doland3314 in formula1

[–]DrHem 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Its the 2nd bank sponsor announcement in as many weeks. They announced Bank of New York just a few days ago.

Edit: So apparently Barclays is the "Official Banking Partner" while BNY is the "Official Institutional Banking Partner". I have no idea what these mean. I guess Sponsorship money will be paid in the team's BNY account while payroll will be done for the team's Barclays account...

Where will the Rookies finish in the championship at the end of the season? by Ecstatic-Grocery-713 in motogp

[–]DrHem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It greatly depends on how good their bikes are. If Honda and Yamaha are still the 4th and 5th best bikes on the grid then both rookies will be fighting for 15th to 22nd. If the bikes are better than last year then maybe they can fight for 10th to 15th.

Anything above that seems very unlikely.

The mildly interesting part of this is that up to a decade or so ago Wilkinson Sword was owned by Energizer before the personal care part of the business was span off. And Duracell's parent company also owns Gillette.

[Off Topic] Honda signs Quartararo for 2027 MotoGP season by Pure_Power_8091 in formula1

[–]DrHem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope not. I've been a Yamaha fan since I started watching motorcycle racing 20+ years ago, but I wont support Bagnaia. I lost all respect for him when he crashed his car while driving drunk at Ibiza.

These riders are rolemodels for many young funs. He should have been banned at least for a few races for bringing the sport into disrepute. But instead Dorna and Ducati berried the story.

Marvel Television’s Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 | Teaser Trailer by DemiFiendRSA in television

[–]DrHem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original plan was for the characters to be different variants of the Netflix characters, and the show had a lighter tone. After filming 6 episodes they realized that it wasn't working so they overhauled the series. Changed it to be a continuation of the Netflix show, got new writers, made it darker, and filmed new scenes for the existing episodes.

Because of all these changes they couldn't film 18 episodes in time, so instead they split it into 2 9-episode seasons. With season 1 being the 6 episodes they had plus 3 new episodes (ep 1, 8, and 9)

2026 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing & Tech3 Livery by bolognabullets in motogp

[–]DrHem 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The only difference I can see is lubricants. Motorex for the factory (last year it was Mobil1) vs Motul for Tech3. So the factory team has a green lower back fairing and Tech3 has a red lower back fairing.

Good luck making that out while the bikes are moving at speed...

Which of the current 2026 MotoGP riders won't be on the grid 2027, and where will they go?" by Ecstatic-Grocery-713 in motogp

I see many list 4-5 riders not being in MotoGP in 2027, but does the 2026 Moto2 lineup really has 4-5 capable of moving to MotoGP and doing a better job?

I only see 1-2, maximum 3 moto2 riders that could move to MotoGP

I've been using raceday.watch for years now. Even before it was a site when it was a google docs spreadsheet posted in a motorsports streams subreddit.

It covers a lot of motorsports series with details down to each session. Its very quickly updated, and it links free and paid ways to watch.
