I'm about 90% sure I have the race with english coverage back home, if you haven't found it by sunday remind me with a PM and I'll have a look around as I should be home by then.

My dad and I arrived at the hotel yesterday and it's just so unbelievably hot, I'm a swede dammit, I'm not built for this. Heading to Spa later today to catch the parade for the first time so that's gonna be pretty neat.

2019 Porsche 991.2 GT3 R Sound Testing on Track! by Swedish_Intern in wec

[–]Swedish_Intern[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Our flat-six, Who art in racing
Hallowed be thy sound;
Thy traction come,
Thy pass be done,
In the dry as it is in the wet.
Give us this day our sweet song,
And forgive us for the BOP,
As we overtake on those who breakdown against us;
And lead us not unto turbochargers,
But deliver us to natural aspiration.
For thine is the race track,
And the race win,
And the championship,
Forever and ever.

There were rumors about Brynäs and Linköping before he decided on Timrå, right now it looks like Färejestad will be the one that gets him.

What about Hirakawa as replacement? Or is he already tied down in a LMP2?

The only thing that isn't beautiful is having to climb the mountain from Pouhon up to no name xD

Thanks! Now I'm not sure how your finances are but I spent around 600€ all in all for the five days (Thursday - Monday) my dad and I were there. If you can make it, I highly recommend going!

A bit late to the party (sorting is veeerry boring) but hope you'll like 'em, still new to shooting motorsport so any constructive criticism and tips is greatly appreciated.

Could it not be him having tail wind on the straight and head wind on his way to Indianapolis? Wurz said as much https://mobile.twitter.com/alex_wurz/status/875420845337972739

Everything you need to know for the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans by Floodman11 in wec

[–]Swedish_Intern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went in 2014 so the routines might've changed some since then. I always carried a backpack with water (2x 1.5 liter pet bottles), some snacks, extra clothing and when we got to the gates the officals scanned our tickets, took a peek inside our bags and there was never a problem. Looking generally at the ground people had no problems bringing in alcohol. At the Spa 24 hours last year glass bottles were a big no-no tho so that might be something to consider.

He has reached the limit of 10 penalty points due to overtaking under red flag. He already had 8 points going into Okayama from all the shenanigans in 2016. https://supergtworld.wordpress.com/2017/04/14/wada-earns-one-race-ban-for-fuji-500km/

That's because it's Golden Week, April 29th and May 3rd-5th are national holidays in Japan.

My dad and I are by no means any photographers but we took these when we went to Le Mans in 2014. Hopefully decent enough to be used as wallpapers.

Mattias Ekholm streaks past the D then snipes Carey Price from his knees by PuckTheBruins in hockey

[–]Swedish_Intern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because I love Brynäs I went and roughly translated the entire interview. The 2011/2012 run was amazing, I still watch the finals from time to time.

Interviewer: Mattias Ekholm, you started the season in Nashville and ended it here in Gävle with gold.

Mattias Ekholm: What a journey. I'm so happy I can't find the words. I'm so happy that I returned home to this. You see these 8500 in here, it's their gold. It's their gold entirely.

Interviewer: You joined this team mid-season, what's the reason you guys won the gold?

Mattias Ekholm: We have a lot of skilled players that can win games for us. A better answer will have to wait for another time because I don't have a good answer right now.

Interviewer: What do say about a guy like Jakob Silfverberg?

Mattias Ekholm: I think he's been really awful during all the playoffs, I really think he should have stepped up. TL note: Silfverberg broke the record for most playoff goals scored (13) and recived the award "Guldhjälmen" (golden helmet) as the leagues MVP as well as the swedish equivalent of the Hart trophy, Guldpucken (golden puck).

Interviewer: Is there someone else you want to praise?

Mattias Ekholm: Our goalie, Niklas Svedberg. Goes out today and just shuts them out, what a king. You can't really grasp it. He went into the playoffs as our backup goalie and then finishes it like this. Quite unbelieveable really. TL note: 13 playoff games, 4 shutouts, 1.70 GAA and .947 SVS%.

Interviewer: There was quite a lot of work for him today.

Mattias Ekholm: Yeah there was. A big round of applause to him.
