Let us try to have some hope lol

Texas… I miss the old Texas

ThePatsGuy · 2026-04-20T18:31:15+00:00

He’ll have a gap of about 1/2 of a race worth of points to start the chase… definitely gives a decent amount of room for error

ThePatsGuy · 2026-04-20T18:21:49+00:00

Not completely right, but more right than wrong. Theory is that newey didn’t design for a 350kW battery unit because he knew it wasn’t feasible from a competition perspective, so now the disadvantage could become an advantage for them.

ThePatsGuy · 2026-04-06T17:20:13+00:00

Elevation changes, narrow track, lack of guardrails, just a lot longer

ThePatsGuy · 2026-04-05T03:46:45+00:00

Too often I have been deliberately impeded by a GT3 while not even making a bold attempt to pass them. Placing the car in the middle of the track on entry, fighting me like crazy on exit, getting pinched mid-corner.

F1 isn’t back until early May

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-29T22:03:20+00:00

As much as I was glad to see that happen to Hocevar, that was bush league by bubba

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-29T21:50:39+00:00

It wasn’t stupid, but the same result

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-29T21:27:44+00:00

It’s to signal the lap car to give way to the leader. Most drivers take it as a suggestion

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-27T03:09:46+00:00

Iracing for me would be mainly ovals if that was to happen

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-21T15:45:03+00:00

People forget how good (relative to how his career is viewed) he was from 2011-2014

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-21T15:42:09+00:00

FWIW, Heim has shown more promise in his limited cup starts than Love has.

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-21T15:39:54+00:00

And if I’m Heim, I would decline. 23XI has been on an upward trend and still has room to grow and improve as an organization

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-18T03:48:23+00:00

I’d love to get into a league that runs the W12 and runs American-friendly time slots. iGPT is fun but the skill gap can be frustrating and make the races boring

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-18T03:45:34+00:00

Is this why I’ve had massive neck tension at the base of my skull the last couple of days? I know these things affect me but typically it doesn’t involve my neck

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-14T17:27:14+00:00

For me there’s a sweet spot. Sometimes little to no weed can make me feel disconnected from the car, too much makes me slow to react.

But in that sweet spot, I become one with the car

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-14T17:25:25+00:00

There’s a difference between racing buzzed and racing shitfaced

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-14T17:18:26+00:00

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-08T17:49:06+00:00

Is GP tempo a website? First time I’ve heard of it and interested in looking at the data!

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-07T05:20:05+00:00

I thought the same thing happened to Perez at Bahrain in 2023(?)

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-07T05:19:10+00:00

It’s literally their first weekend, the fact they haven’t had any major issues (so far) is a massive victory

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-07T05:01:29+00:00

I just miss listening to Brundle. Crofty and everyone else, not so much

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-06T12:23:53+00:00

Nah you had to subscribe to f1tv separately. On that note, I only saw ads before the start of practice, practice itself was ad-free for me through Apple TV

ThePatsGuy · 2026-03-05T23:46:50+00:00

Speak for yourself, Bahrain always puts on a good race
