heck yeah! Didn't know. I'll have to see if I can find some highlights.

I almost got a cameo from him, but chose Helio instead.

lemme see if i can find it. Had Helio message my Champcar teammate about wanting to drive at the VIR 24 hour race. thought it was a nice touch for him to film at from Sebring. :-p

Was Helio the same price as Juan? I forgot how much I paid Juan.

JPM was $10 less than Helio at the time.

I realize it's off topic but rumors of RB bringing more updates to Spain than Horner first implied.

Also moar info here -> https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/...ngsame-kurven/ , if you bother to translate and suffer through it.

Everything I've seen is saying Merc has figured out the tires much, much better than the others teams.

they just might have a shot at the title this year.

They're so far out in front in this era, they wont be caught until there is some kind of massive rule change - and I seem to think they would fight that or threaten to leave if there are any changes to the current engine rules.

Their engine isn't the defining strength of the car anymore though.

It's the thinner tyres and the aero, which is part of why they have figured out the tyres. It's no coincidence that on the top side of the grid the best chassis are the ones that continued with their previous philosophies. Merc is #1 chassis right now with RB a little behind.

what's wrong with a little behind

Depends on your point of view. If whats ahead of you is in yoga pants, nothing. If it's a HAMBOT or a VETLEC then is a bad thing

And 10x better.

Do the prices fluctuate based on recent success? Like if JPM were to win the 24 Hours of LeMans would his price skyrocket?

i think the 'talent' selects the price - so it can be whatever they want. Alexander Rossi charges $500... and if you look, he hasn't done any videos, because who the heck is gonna pay that dude $500 for a 30 sec video.

I was tempted to get Corey Feldman to do one for my buddy since he's a nut and rambles on for 5 minutes. Was $150 then, now $202! :-o

Apparently Campcar let their rights to the name expire. Chumpcar picked up the name and is now the one and only Champcar.

falcongsr

wow that's crazy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChampCar_Endurance_Series

well it's ENDURANCE series not world series. I think it sounds stupid and will continue to call it chumpcar

falcongsr
