What did you do to your Supra today?

[Eplejus]

Hand washed the exterior, cleaned the engine bay with a quick detailer spray and then coated the whole car with Gyeon Q2M Wetcoat. This stuff is magical! Cannot recommend it enough, makes the car so much easier to clean afterwards.

The old Volvo is feeling neglected in the background there.

Put on the new engine cover.

The Starry Night by van Gogh?

Got the wing and splitter on. (ignore the boxes on the right lol...i've been in the process of moving)

 

[licklobster]

Wet out today, so got these mounted.

Took her to the track, positioned her carefully on The grid and drove her on the Miami F1 GP circuit. Just dropping some rubber so those slowpokes F1s don’t slip and slide all over.

Only if they get injured. Luckily they didn’t need him…

How the hell did they miniaturize your car (and with you in it ?)???

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 into motors sports, needing a car to learn high performance driving and eventually, buying a Supra to take to the track.
This year I was at turn 1, but also have been riding the FIA medical car (that one comes with a professional driver) and at the medical center caring for the drivers if needed.
The job is to drive to the active scene, eval and treat driver and transport to medical center for care or evac.
We are expected to return for 2026!

???

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 track. It has to be absolutely perfect, on very limited windows of time from radio to response to get off the track.
And the goal is to be ? invisible. If people don’t know we exist, it’s because we did a reasonable job.

The mini Supra really looks like mine. LOL. The goal was to take it to the track even if it was in its miniaturized form ???

Ran my first 9 second pass, and then ran another one immediately after

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 medical car, depending on location of incident and the overall situation. most times, on our own when there are minor events and the FIA medical stays behind.

This year we also covered the F1 academy and the Porsche Cup - which is fun, because that’s like a bar brawl. ????. On both events the FIA medical car is parked and all the action is ours.

(3 medical intervention vehicles at turns 1/11/17)
