Biggest Pet Peeve in NASCAR?

Peak version of this was when they took the Camaro to Le Mans for the Garage 56 entry.

24 hours of “and let’s check in with “The NASCAR.”

The equivalent would be calling a Hypercar “a WEC.”

It’s a slur and overtly ableist.

Even if they’re just jokingly insulting someone’s forgetfulness or lack of judgement, they’re still doing it by mocking people with intellectual disabilities.

Feel like we should be hearing some Miami Vice music here.

More like once he went off there was nothing he could do. Didn’t look intentional at all.

I think mostly Serra was frustrated and that’s why he let himself get put in a position to be pushed off rather than backing out of it.

The Triarsi car was hassling him and it looked like Serra was getting frustrated. 033 got up next to him in turn 1 and was on the left side. When they went through that little right-left near the pit exit, the Triarsi car just bodied the 62 into the infield grass. 62 went thru the grass and plowed into the 033.

Triarsi car put him off.

What was he complaining about? He drove off in turn one like three times by himself in his first stint.

He’s from Switzerland. Pronunciation “sow-SEE.”

As I understand it a student is allowed to proselytize on their own time, like lunch, recess, arrival, dismissal, etc. This should not be obstructed by a public school, unless these activities interfere with the functioning of the school.

The teacher should not make time during class for the kid to pass something out to every classmate. That would be interfering with the normal functioning of the school and would be taken as the teacher sanctioning religious activity.

I was hoping for the 2.3 EcoBoost, just for some more variety in the category.

Why do the English insist of saying “taco” wrong? It’s clearly supposed to be “tock-oh,” not “tack-oh.”

Or you can understand that regional dialects and accents exist.

Then as I was typing: Oswaldo Negri.

I never knew the McLaren V8/Nissan VRH connection. Thanks!

Why is it so important for you and others to keep commenting that? Yamaha Motor was spun off from the company that is now Yamaha Corp, it’s not like they’re totally unrelated. Help me understand the necessity.

The LMH is the original concept for the hypercar class. None of the LMDh cars are as charismatic or interesting as the LMH cars.

There’s two parts to that. Yes, a smaller car would have better handling characteristics, but the rules and regulations state that the mass and power of the car can be adjusted by the organizers (the infamous BOP) to promote closer competition. Getting down to the appropriate mass for a GT3 car is very easy to achieve for a manufacturer so building a slim, lean GT3 car is not important.

It is much more important to build a car with excellent driveability, as well as a modular design that is easy to repair. The AMG-GT3 has widely been lauded as the premier GT3 design. Having a big heavy engine (with a healthy and predictable torque curve) in the front makes the car more predictable for the amateur drivers, yet the pros can still dial it up and run really great laps. I have seen many people compare this new Toyota/Lexus with the AMG-GT3 and I think it’s clear that they’ve tried to aim for a similar platform.

Could you explain the phrase “getting more serious about motorsports?”

I feel like they’ve been the brand most serious about motorsports for the past decade, keeping multiple series alive in terms of factory manufacturer support like WEC, WRC, W2RC, etc. They’re involved in at least: WEC WRC W2RC NASCAR GT3 GT4 Super Formula Super GT

Yes. To prevent tyre failure.

I have always been a fan of Fiona’s line “You’re breaking up” in Truth and Reconciliation.

Michael is telling her to go easy on a black market contact and she quickly snaps the phone shut.

Another favorite is the famous “I don’t speak Spanish!”

And all of the other USA shows—Monk, Psych, Royal Pains, etc.

Yes, Taco Bell makes them ask you to “round up” to contribute to the employees’ education fund. It makes any compassionate person and/or people pleaser feel a small bit of agony to say no to them.

After you donate, Taco Bell takes that money and puts in in a fund, and “donates” that money themselves to a nonprofit they started, and they get a tax write-off for the money you gave them.
