Mystery solved: Course Director’s and race director’s car.

2 Supras at the track on Monaco. I’m trying to figure out what are those two cars doing there. they are not hot lap cars. - although this year I saw mustang and even a charger, hot lap cars have no lights the cars are official cars - look at the lights on top. I can’t quite read the...

For those on AT cars and (some of them on MT as well) how do you brake?

White smoke means there is a new pope

Remember when you drove my car at Homestead? That car is 4 corner balanced to the last kg, with the weight of two average people on the car. It was done by a professional racing team (they also did my alignment, they did the corner balancing as a perk, they are good friends) Obviously it...

That sounds like a dream season! Question for those that visit several tracks during the season: Does the skill transfer from track to track seamlessly or do you ride with someone, have a coach on board for a new track? I am still very green, but noticed I was just a tiny bit more...

I wonder if they have events in SE, specifically S. FL. I’ve heard the BMW people are great. My closest track (homestead) is just 25 min away. And I LOVED Sebring but driving from Miami to Sebring (3hrs) seemed a lot to me (I have this car exclusively for HPDE) so adding 500 non track...

yeah. That man has no filter. I think part of the reason he did not last in F1.

haha. I know. I was joking. Interesting fact: Juan Pablo Montoya, Colombian ?? legend, someone I happen to know in person, won the Indy x2, if I’m not mistaken, also won Le Mans and won Monaco. EDIT: well… technically, he won Le Mans in his category, but not overall. So maybe the has the...

he meant the Kentucky Derby, then two weeks later win the Preakness Stakes, and then three weeks later win the Belmont Stakes. last one that did it was Justify in 2018. wait… what are we talking about????

didn’t that guy just got his first baby? You would think he’s at home with his girls. Nope. He’s breaking records at random places. ???

this. and I think anyone of us would be a jerk with the engineers and the crews if things are not being perfect. Is a high stress job. I’d be cursing all through the weekend.

Still expensive. For that money I’d go with spage or Verus if what you want is a bench type of wing. if you want more of an ornamental wing, (which is ? ok) there are much more options. The Adro, is really nice. The only one I can attest to, as far as quality and installation goes is the...

If you like it, go for it. Your car is the reflection of your personality. Nobody’s taste should matter.

what tool do you use to bleed brake fluid? (I can change rotors and pads but never tried bleeding brake fluid) I kind of want to do it after 4 track weekends.

Haha. ? yes. We are track only team. Outside of the track there is a non Surgical team that takes care of crews and - of course - the army of VIPs that orbit those events. we carry everything on the cars, even surgical trays. Oxygen gen, AEDs, Ketamine fentanyl, local anesthetic, chest...

Ian does Not drive anymore. He’s now the big Chief Medical Officer. Great guy. This year Karl Reindler was the driver for the FIA medical car - awesome dude. Post really funny stuff on IG. But yeah. We dispatch at the order of race control. Sometimes ahead or behind the FIA...

??? I tell people that this job is like instagram: the pictures look great, but behind them there is a 5 day weekend when we work 12 hrs days, and the level of stress is maximum - and I’m not talking about medical care, I’m a trauma surgeon that’s the easy part for me. The stress is being on...

Ha ha. Yes. We are the medical crew for the Miami GP race for formula 1 since it’s 1st season 4 years ago and I’m also the medical driver for the Ferrari Challenge (starting this year in couple of weeks). I was also medical for the 12 hours of Sebring in 2020 It’s what actually brought me...

We are watching the races now.
