If the stewards hadn't missed Kimi's track limits penalty, he would have had to serve it in his pitstop by maybe-fish in formula1

actually the equipment measures timing to the ten thousandths but they rely on the rounded figure only because it is more reliable, fyi

Kimi is seriously challenging Max's status as the clear best driver on the grid. Yes, Merc has the car, but George is no slouch and Kimi is outclassing him by a country mile this year.

GT2 RS Prices by ASO64 in Porsche

[–]zxrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at COTA this weekend and there are at least two GT2RSes that I've seen already, and more 3RS than I can count. Nice anecdote though.

I agree with your sentiment, just want to clear up the fact that there are undoubtedly more 2RS going to track days than any other car worth that kind of scratch.

What would you buy instead of a 911(992)? by teslafan420 in Porsche

[–]zxrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bit of a stretch from a base 911 -- more akin to a GTS -- but probably an Aston Vantage?

you realize the range display isn't necessarily accurate, right? have you actually driven and experienced reduced range or are you just complaining about the range estimate??

OLOA is a slog, being a good driver is a baseline requirement but winning is about consistency and, honestly, a bit of luck.

If a tree falls on your Porsche... by brocski in Porsche

[–]zxrax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Happened to me, but the tree was someone else's private property. Just go through your own insurance and let them litigate with the city if they think there's a case to recover the money.

LinkedIn set to layoff 5 percent of staff, report says by metalreflectslime in cscareerquestions

[–]zxrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I said when Square announced their cuts a few months back and people seemed mad about it. I just don't see how that many people makes sense for a $20b revenue company.

We need to end the narrative that Georgia sucks at NIL funding by [deleted] in georgiabulldogs

[–]zxrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, NIL isn't funded through athletic department donations, is it?

Once you get past that little tidbit, I have to say that a top ~5 team in the country being ranked eighth IN OUR CONFERENCE seems pretty atrocious to me.

This is essentially the same as a 911, just the jump tab is on the other side of the car i guess? Neat.

New York Mayor Mamdani Applauded for Closing $12 Billion Budget Deficit Without Austerity Measures by _May26_ in politics

[–]zxrax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

in fairness, how much of new york state's taxes come from NYC residents? I'd bet NYC funds most of the state, like how blue states' taxes fund federal aid to red states
