I'd be curious to see what a wind screen looks like after a full race with rubber and bug debris everywhere. would probably need tear offs.
Yeah Indy has talked about using tear offs.

That's my 2 cents anyways.

At 1:45 Allison suggests the turbulent wake can affect the PU and such

Well NASCAR/WEC they do use tear offs because it is an issue. Not to mention Indy and F1 use visor tear offs...

I think a self cleaning windshield would be a little more complex and prob add more weight than needed.

Maybe we can have GMO drivers that use thermal vision instead of using the visible light spectrum.

Predator Racing Series ftw

"Fans will then get access to data directly from the cars," he revealed, before adding the all-important catch. "One will be freely available, while the other, for serious fans, is behind a pay barrier."

Streaming, is "not a near-term revenue driver but important long-term" claimed the bank, which forecasts that only 104,000 users will subscribe this year at an estimated monthly cost of £6 ($7.99) providing just £5.4m ($7.5m) of revenue.
I assume they will have more than just race weekend coverage for the monthly fee, be it listed $7.99 or some other amount.

Anyone catch the demolition derby at Daytona today? It seems like every time I try to watch NASCAR it gets worse.

I watched part of it, but had to turn it off when I found out sweet baby girl baby danica had crashed out. I thought she would get out of the car and walk on her hands and do some Namaste's.

Rusty Wallace Jr took 2nd

Damn those side pods are tiny. All sorts of interesting things to look at on this car already.

Edit: Huh, seems HT has limited the size of pics even with right click. Added links to the full high res...
