That has to be the funniest take on Aston Martin I’ve ever seen ??? Take away the inbreeding thing at the end, pretty spot on ? What the hell happened to Mercedes so quickly? You almost get the feeling someone is going to find something, anything against Red Bull at this point. I thought for...

I was gonna say in addition to the constructors championship. But I’m already too wordy lol. Great point! Love all the insight!

Good point. I’ll take it a step further. The Supra with the ZF trans is even beyond an enthusiast vehicle. Everyone should do their free track day. Even if you bought it used, track this damn car! Anyone not doing this at least once is truly missing out. Right now the Supra sliding into classes...

In the winter we get a lot of the northern track peeps down here. I’d love to be a snow bird someday and go back and forth to the best tracks up there ? I hear debates from those guys that either Road of America or Watkins Glenn are the must drive tracks. Y’all think Palmer is up there in that...

When my dad was alive he told me to just set the cruise to the speed limit or 2 mph above & enjoy the ride, get better gas mileage, and thus no worries about tickets. Of course being a kid, I only thought “shut up old man, what do you know”. I tried all the radar detectors & they worked most of...

Appreciate the info from both of ya! I saw Ferrari gets a bonus just for being there. Bringing the name and heritage. Would be great to see all these guys do a GT Cup series or better yet… MX5 Cup, lol. Could you imagine. Reduced to skill, consistency & mental game, I still think Max would come...

I can honestly say this ZF transmission car is fantastically fun as shit. With this kind of torque, to be rowing through 8 gears on a track puts a grin on my face every single time. It’s amazing actually. I don’t know how they did it for the price!?! BMW got taken to the woodshed on this build...

Damn this post brings back some memories. Valentine was the bom diggity back in the day. That company still around?

Interesting… I thought there was strict spending limits for each team. Then it turns out you can pay someone X amount and have the best driver, engineer and manager. Guess their intent was good but couldn’t go all the way. Deepest pockets still win?

I hate to say it but… if they made one w/out the flair. Plane Jane with extra performance (power and handling)… Take that back. Just a pinch of GRrrrrrrr ? would be nice. No ‘you gotta be kidding me’ aero and black where it doesn’t belong. Might be a funner way to save on some petrol ⛽

But it didn’t launch ? ? I found 2 new buttons today. One on the dash, bottom left corner. Resets the odo. Found another on the auto shifter. Didn’t know I’m suppose to press it when going into reverse. Maybe I’m doing that and didn’t even know it ?‍♂️ Which got me looking at this: No. 5 in...

I was just reading your response to my wife and caught that you said two employees as well. Assume that would be the manager and head engineer for each team. Are some owners also the principle and manager, such as Toto with Mercedes? Which gives them even more $$$ to spend for those two...

Great write up & patience on your part! Do you know how much brake bias the Supra has, front/rear? I was thinking only the front would require a larger caliper & rotor, if looking for more stopping power. The rear calipers seem oddly large when compared to the fronts. In my other cars the rears...

After a good bed in and track day, they should quiet down. At least mine do down here in hot & muggy SWFL. Perhaps they’re noisier in cooler weather? Let us know when they do! As you know I’m really happy with the DTC 60/30 combo. But would be fun to try other compounds, if priced competitively.

It’d be nice to have the room for a separate detached garage ??

It’s really about religious maintenance, visual inspection and feel on track. If you’re a race team, you’ll change the brake pads and bleed your fluid after each race. But since we’re doing this for fun = not going as fast or tracking for hours on end, we can get by with extended use. As you...

So glad you enjoyed it!!!! Hit me up next time you’re down here. My wife loves cars too ? We’re going to Sebring with NASA in October. Great group and have many different comfort levels you can drive in. My wife is driving Saturday and I’ll be both days. You should go. Would love to see you on...

It’s crazy to see how much money people are willing to throw into their cars (on track), before seat time, to go “faster”. That Z06 should make him quicker than you for sure ?. Someone at the track told me the professional racing Vettes actually run less power than the Z06. Don’t know if that’s...

Love the pool floats! I’m with ya. So much to do with my garage still… ?

Damn that was depressing for Lando ? I also missed seeing Alonso up on podium. Max or Red Bull - what gives? He’s so far ahead of the pack! Is Mercedes really making a comeback or did the rain in Spain ?? fall mainly on the plain for them?
