They look decent on GOES 16, putting out some nice heat. Glad you aren't too close. Being in the thick smoke sucks, but not as bad as having your house burned over.

The wildfires around the California wine country reached Sonoma Raceway. Track officials say there's no immediate danger to the facility itself.

Backing fire, nice clean burn with no threat to much of anything.

You can literally put a line around a house with a shovel in 10 min and not have to worry about the building with that kind of fire. Heck, even just wetting the grass around the house will stop that. Now if the wind and slope align, that's a bigger problem.

So VET was running on 5 cylinders at the start and was down 140 hp. Assuming this is true (big assumption) I wonder does that mean the the ICE makes 840 or did they try and calculate some of the impact the loss of 1 cylinder has on the hybrid systems?

If that is just the ICE that means the Ferrari peaks at 1000hp combined (again, assuming this is true)

Yeah, great way to earn another point on his super license. Crash into another car, get the DNF, and then get banned from the next race. I guess either way HAM wins the WDC.

Nah, he could claim mitigating circumstances. Mainly he was trying to mitigate the loss of a cylinder..

If it's a red car, my kid says "schumacher"... if he sees the iconic Marlboro livery he says... RICK MEARS! :-p

Although he's been playing this lately on my phone so he might start to learn all the drivers from the 2013 season



this looks interesting though I don't have an android phone

I only have one racing game on my phone, called "Final Freeway". It's a rip-off of another well known game.

So I've been looking at a list of the drivers with enough points to qualify for a super license. Webber and Juan still qualify lol
