Just went the Petite Le Mans for the first time, and I’m hooked. That has me wondering how to pick teams to follow, so how did you pick or what drew you to a specific team?

Formula One needs to take a lesson from IMSA. Quit showing me "special liveries" that I need a magnifying glass to find the differences. Take some nots from Penske, Pratt, and AO to name a few.

That's why I enjoy IMSA, great cars and they look great doing their thing.

Sure, F1 is the pinnacle of motorsports...fine. It's NOT the pinnacle of automotive graphic design, that's for sure....

Rant over....

Ford Racing driver Frankie Muniz is exploring a potential step up to the Ford Mustang GT3 EVO, confirming that discussions are already underway for a possible move as early as next year.

Open-wheel outfit DEForce Racing will expand into IMSA competition next year, entering the Michelin Pilot Challenge TCR class with a single CUPRA Leon VZ TCR.

Run down of the race, some news, and some terrible and good takes.

IMSA has strategically shifted Michelin Pilot Challenge pre-season testing off the schedule for January’s Roar Before the 24 at Daytona, citing efforts to reduce team operating costs and logistical demands, a move that competitors have largely supported.

TDS Racing has announced that it will run a two-car IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship LMP2 programme, the first for the French team in IMSA since 2023

Hey everyone!
I’m attending my first Formula 1 United States Grand Prix this weekend and will be staying in Manor, TX.
I’ve rented a car and already have a parking pass for Lot K at COTA for all three days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday).
I’ll be driving from Manor to COTA each day and figured I’d see if anyone nearby would like to join me.
Carpool details:
Dates: October 23–25 (Friday–Sunday)
Pickup: Manor, TX, or somewhere convenient along the route
Destination: COTA, Parking Lot K
Morning departure: Planning to leave early to beat traffic. Exact times are flexible.
Return departure: After the day’s events, depending on traffic and everyone’s plans.
Cost: Happy to split gas and parking expenses.
I’m attending solo, so it would also be great to meet fellow F1 fans and enjoy the weekend together!
Feel free to comment or DM me if you’re interested. We can coordinate departure times and pickup locations.
Thanks!

Sorry for the AI slop earlier, I was just wondering if anyone else had seen the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica and immediately thought of the Cadillac V-Series.R

I went to every GTP round this year and have been writing reflections. I guess I forgot to post the first two…

Since they are reflections and not race reviews or analysis, my bias definitely shows. But there’s a reason I went to every race, after all.
