That livery is 100% better than their F1 livery.

Only McLaren.

Only McLaren could make an Indycar look better than a Grand Prix car.

Took my fat self up to COTA for a bike ride yesterday. I know, I know. Greyout takes videos beating on Bimmer's and Honda two-thousands and what not and I'm just a sausage on two wheels, but still it was fun. Turn 1 can suck my *****. Has a little 14% kick up at the apex supposedly. I believe them.

Overheard a guy getting interviewed today say he used to cage fight.... for a living.

He looks like he's 12 years old.

i've had it on between meetings, the discussions are really good, and the open mics in the pit are great.

sounds like the next run will be fuel saving with lean engine settings and then lift and coast with rich settings and trying to match the fuel consumption.

WELL DONE BAK INDYCAR

Robin Miller said Senna just wasn't into ovals after talking about his secret Firebird test (Miller learned of the test well after the fact). They also talked about Herbert and Speed as recent F1 vets who didn't qualify for their Indy 500s.

Watching ALO run the speedway by himself is way too relaxing. Was just like a white noise machine.

Anyone been to The Working Man's Friend in Indianapolis? Miller wants to take Alonso there for a double cheeseburger.

One bird was hit by right front tire. Other bird was hit by left front suspension it seems. The feathers helped visualize the car's aero wake.
