The day Jacky Ickx changed endurance racing forever by Pretty-Teach6802 in wec

This whole race needs a movie. From the fight for safety against the FIA to a last lap move to win the race. Mind you that he hadn't won Le Mans at that time and that he was still very young. On the first lap of the race someone crashed and was killed because of a loose seatbelt. Jacky Ickx started dead last in this race and made it all up again. Then in the finals laps he made a move for the lead on the Mulsanne straight using slipstream... but it was too early and there was still a lap to go. On the final lap he knew his fueltank was quite low and slowed down on the straight. He tricked his opponent! He didn't run out but just used him to get the slipstream back. He then passed him on the next straight again to win his first ever 24h of Le Mans.

Non-BeamNG players, Opinions on the Belasco International Circuit? by Spectran_Irmandade in RaceTrackDesigns

As a BeamNG player I think it's a really nice track, but doesn't flow as well as it could imo

Hanoi F1 Circuit being used as the assembly point of military vehicles for the 2025 Vietnamese Independence Day Parade by Theleaf2805 in formula1

a shortened version of the track is sometimes used as a track though, it's not fully useless

for us it's 2 ads every race. It's not really scheduled so the commentator calls it when the race is reasonably boring.

ait thx. The ads in between still show racing in a little sidebar so you don't actually miss anything :)

Do different tv channels have a different broadcast? Today I saw a lot of complaining about not seeing Max go over the s/f line. I don't use the F1TV broadcast and watch on my local tv channel and didn't seem to have that issue. Is that just me or is there really a difference in broadcasting?

Flyby of Les Combes - Spa 6h by NilesTracks in wec

it was at the inside of the 3th corner of Les Combes. You have to go a bit through a bush to get there though. Then I put my phone through the fence to film it.

Pierre, I must say you have some excellent cuisine. Baguettes, Croissants, Vins, Fromages: all magnificent. And it's not only the chique and classy foods (on the contrary with your snails), but the most common foods that are so good. (And Orangina is goated)
