Ah. Makes sense, thanks for entertaining my curiosity. Again, just curious about such things.

So TR posted this teaser pic but while the tyres look like the 2017 versions that rear wing looks too narrow and tall to me. I wonder if it an earlier chassis converted for practice pit stops...

I always imagine if somebody put me in charge of horse racing and said 'right, you've got to sort that out', it always looks easy from the outside. You see all the things that you think they're doing wrong. And then when you get all the files and the dossiers put in front of you, you find out what's really going on."

Translation is hilarious but the gist of it is the teams will be meeting tomorrow about the trick suspensions. Ferrari and other teams still want it gone and are prepared to protest down under.

Speaking of WEC just sawed this

WEC reveals 28-car entry list for 2017

Two Porsche 919 Hybrids, two Toyota TS050 Hybrids and a sole ByKolles CLM - to be driven by Robert Kubica - make up the class entry, with a third car from Toyota joining for Spa and Le Mans only.
Interesting

Is confirmed.

Capito and McLaren officially part ways

“Regrettably, we have not been able to find common ground with Jost with regard to what is and will be needed to make the team successful again.

Seems like the old guard is on it's way out. Maybe this breath of new life into the team will have the same effect it had on Ferrari

When that long time Ferrari big wig got pushed out and a few other notables were axed as well. I think it was right before VET joined. Then VET's first year showed a resurgence of sorts from the team. Like a dark cloud had been lifted off the entire team and gave them a fresh start.

I think the vacuum from him leaving resulted in some infighting as far as team direction which has not helped their cause in the last 2 years. Let's hope McHonda doesn't have the same issues.

oh, well, to the average tifosi i suspect it was more of a disappointment since they talked such big game for 2016
