Consider Barber Motorsports Park... crazy elevation changes. And Daytona, the high banks are great fun. I raced SCCA for 20+ years and a track day at Daytona pumped more adrenaline than any wheel to wheel race! I'd love to do Laguna Seca sometime.
You REALLY need to get to Barber Motorsports Park... especially with a bike! The elevation changes are crazy cool and the museum is unbelievable. Oh, and the crazy art is EVERYWHERE, on the grounds, inside the track, inside the museum... even in the bottom of the elevator shaft (which is glass)!
I've raced wheel to wheel at a lot of tracks in the Midwest and done track days at a lot of tracks in the Southeast. I've been to Road Atlanta many times as a spectator. Now I finally get to do a track day there with the 2025 Supra. Looking forward to Wednesday, June 17th!!!
I agree completely! I raced sports cars for over 20 years and I paid handsomely for the opportunity! Race entry fees, motels, tow vehicles, motorhome, long hours on the road to tracks and home again... to say nothing of the cost of a good race car and the cost of repairs! These guys get paid...
I saw a story that says Max laughed at McLaren for starting the race on intermediate rain tires.
" Max Verstappen poked fun at McLaren’s decision to start the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix on the intermediate compound as that strategic call immediately backfired. "
I admit to not liking Max...
I was at 19 as well. But I did do some racing... drag racing on Woodward Ave out NW of Detroit in a '67 Chevy Nova with a 327ci / 375hp. I only got beat by about half of the big block 427's and Hemi's!
What a spectacular race! George and Kimi racing was so fun to watch! Too bad George's car let him down. And then Lewis and Max had a good run at the end. Congrats to Lewis for getting the better of Max... a lot of us really appreciated that!
And has anybody else noticed that Max is smiling more...
I'm just enjoying the fact that it has been fairly close racing and more passing than in the DRS era.
It's the same top four teams as last year, but some of the mid field teams look to be improving. I really hope Audi can step up. Cadillac seems to be a bit further behind, but still improving.
So as far as qualifying is concerned, George did better than Kimi, Lando did better than Oscar, Lewis has improved past Charles and Issac is JUST behind Max. I'd wager that by the end of the season, Issac is out qualifying Max more often than not. But Max still beats him in the race. And...
A good possibility. And Canada is just a few days away.
BTW do you follow the GT4 America series? I think there are 4 Supra and one has been leading the series.
Wow! I used half a tank of gas going to Sebring and back on Friday for a GT4 America race. It hit 90 degrees and I had to wash half a million dead love bugs off the car the next morning!
On Friday I drove over to Sebring and watched the World Challenge and GT4 America cars practice for races over the weekend. There are 4 Supras running in the GT4 series.
Love seeing the Supra passing the Porsche. And beating it in the race!
I've been over 2 years chasing a photo of the full moon (not the day before or after as that doesn't work) setting behind the Sanibel Lighthouse here in SW Florida. Finally, the alignment and the weather landed in my favor. So, on May 1st at 6am I was out at a beach, looking almost 4 miles...
I agree 100%.
I really wonder if Kimi can keep up this driving pace? Or will he relax a bit and find George right back with him in terms of speed.
I think Ferrari are really closer to the front than they showed in Miami. But I wouldn't be surprised either way about Merc's performance in...
