@SportscarJoe We all know why the Thorney Motorsport Insignia is bottom 😂

At some point I'll be ranking all the NGTC cars that have competed in the BTCC on how I personally like them before the end of the year. But even now, there's one car that will very likely stay number 1 through out it all

@SportscarJoe @GoldenGoalFF Why?

@GoldenGoalFF Wouldn't work

People moaning about it being the same tracks year in year out yet there is no where else in the UK the series can visit. As much as I'd love a Welsh round. Pembrey and Anglesey cannot host.

@SportscarJoe Knockhill reverse, Silverstone GP or International, Oulton Park International or Fosters, Snetterton 100 or 200.

@Will_Tanner_1 I thought Mike Ross stopped sitting LSATs for cash? 🤔

Nothing has none more to discredit itself in recent years than the judiciary And that includes the medical establishment during Covid, and Congress with all of its disgusting and craven antics

This may enrage a few but it’s made me laugh. You know how I get all the hate from people who hate EVs? And they go on about depreciation… Well because there are so many of them trolling me….twitter just paid me this for increased engagement. Keep hating please 😂

@epg_on @GazzettaFerrari @Auto_Racer_it Not as badly as 9 other teams need one.

@GazzettaFerrari @Auto_Racer_it Ferrari needs this upgrade badly, honestly.

🚨 | BREAKING! Ferrari will carry out a filming day at Monza to evaluate the major “one-and-a-half package” upgrade for the SF-26. 📰 @Auto_Racer_it

@Shellshocck @GazzettaFerrari @Auto_Racer_it How is a team actively developing a great car embarrassing?

@GazzettaFerrari @Auto_Racer_it This is not breaking, this is embarrassing

@FerrariF1FRA @Auto_Racer_it I've heard from inside other teams that Ferrari purchased the entire stock of servos required to make such a device. Leaving other teams waiting for more to be manufactured. 👌

🔴 Ferrari : l'aileron arrière Macarena est installé sur les deux SF-26 dans le box ! Détails de @Auto_Racer_it. - À Maranello, ils ne se sont pas contentés de repenser l'ouverture du volet mobile, mais ont également modifié la manière dont l'aileron arrière « cesse de fonctionner » d'un point de vue aérodynamique. Le système présenté lors des tests prévoit en effet un mouvement du volet supérieur totalement inédit : une fois la position horizontale atteinte, sa course se poursuit jusqu'à ce qu'il pivote sur lui-même avec une amplitude de près de 270°. - En configuration fermée, l'aile fonctionne comme une structure classique à deux éléments : le volet accélère le flux au-dessus du plan principal, augmentant la dépression et la circulation aérodynamique et générant ainsi une portance négative. Cependant, lorsque le volet est ouvert à l'extrême, le système à plusieurs éléments est essentiellement « désactivé » avec une efficacité encore plus grande que la configuration classique. Il en résulte un décrochage contrôlé de l'aileron arrière, qui réduit considérablement la résistance à l'avancement et permet à la voiture de gagner en vitesse dans les lignes droites. - Selon les premières évaluations faites dans le paddock, cette solution pourrait permettre de gagner environ 5 km/h, ce qui est très important compte tenu des différences de vitesse, notamment en qualifications, entre la Mercedes W17 et la Ferrari SF-26, et sur un circuit comme celui de Chine. - Le véritable défi technique pour Ferrari sur cet aileron n'est pas tant l'ouverture que la transition lorsque le volet revient en position active avant le freinage, moment où la charge arrière augmente rapidement et peut affecter la stabilité de la voiture. C'est pourquoi Ferrari a beaucoup travaillé sur la miniaturisation de l'actionneur et l'intégration du mécanisme dans la structure de l'aileron. Cette spécification, qui fera ses débuts en Chine, est simplement celle vue à Bahreïn, mais renforcée. Une version évoluée fera ensuite ses débuts sur la piste plus tard dans la saison. - Si elle est confirmée sur la piste, étant donné que le week-end chinois prévoit le Sprint et donc une seule heure d'essais libres, la « Macarena » représenterait officiellement l'une des interprétations aérodynamiques les plus extrêmes du nouveau cycle réglementaire, difficilement reproductible rapidement par les concurrents s'ils n'avaient pas déjà envisagé cette solution il y a plusieurs mois. Au moins deux équipes semblent toutefois travailler sur une solution similaire, ayant déjà déposé les plans de leurs projets auprès de la Fédération.

@funksoulHulk @JuliaHB1 Probably not on his racing Salary now he is at Ferrari. He probably still has UK endorsement deals though. He's paid a damn sight more tax than @JuliaHB1 has ever paid in her life. 👌

@JuliaHB1 Except lewis Hamilton still pays tax here whilst living in monaco

Very tediously the usual Leftie race-baiters on here think that they're having an "Aha!" moment apparently exposing me as both a hypocrite and a racist because they found a 12-year-old tweet. Sigh. To save answering every query individually, here you go: The tweet was posted in November 2014 as an audience question for a phone-in on LBC. It asked whether Lewis Hamilton could be a great British sporting hero when he was also a tax  exile in Monaco. This was a subject of debate in the British media at the time. I honestly can't even remember what my view was back then but, apparently, asking this question is PROOF that I judge black Britons who become tax exiles more harshly than I judge white Britons for doing the exact same thing because I don't have an issue with Jim Ratcliffe being a tax exile in Monaco and also voicing an opinion on our economy and immigration policy. But these are two entirely different scenarios.  Lewis Hamilton wraps himself in the Union flag after F1 races yet he doesn't pay taxes here - and hasn’t done for most of his career as he left Britain when he was 22.  Jim Ratcliffe, on the other hand, built up a business in the UK, creating jobs and living here for his entire working life, paying huge sums in tax here for many years.  He didn’t leave Britain until he was 68. And he doesn’t wrap himself in the Union flag or get treated as a great British hero.  But according to my critics, the only difference between these two men is their skin colour and therefore that MUST be why I view them differently. Isn't it strange how the Left is so obsessed with race that it's all they can see? Didn't we used to have a word for people who could only see people for the colour of their skin? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@JuliaHB1 He paid UK tax on his McLaren and Mercedes Salary. A bit of journalism would have discovered this.

@HillF1 @NobleF1 I don't think fans/commentators/drivers/engineers will understand it and by 2027 it will be simplified. 🤦🤢

@NobleF1 Whoopdidoo Basil! But what does it all mean? 😬🤷🏻‍♂️

We’ve got a first look at how all the different zones will be defined at #F1 events by the FIA. Bahrain track map shows Overtake (OT) detection/activation zone - in green. Straight Mode (SM) activation normal in red. Straight Mode activation low grip (SM Low Grip) in blue.

@F1 That we overhype Adrian Newey, Mercedes and Redbull. And we try to guess the pecking order before FP3 at Melbourne.

What are your Bahrain pre-season testing predictions? 💬👀 #F1

@richardbrunning @sniffpetrol had nice things to say about it in the latest podcast. Interesting that its smaller than an Astra. 🤔

It might be one of the least inspiring cars ever conceived, but actually there's an honesty about it that I secretly admire, but Sarah's just ordered a new Frontera. Ridiculous lease deal - £200 down and £200pm for 24 months. That's not even covering the depreciation.

@MattP1Gallagher I am more annoyed that they have had an equally impressive shakedown to Mercedes but the press only talk about Mercedes.

Ferrari setting the fastest unofficial lap time right at the end of shakedown testing Maybe testing times do matter after all...

@karunchandhok Can't wait for Ted to recreate it using lollypop sticks and mini baby bells. 🤣

Err…. That rear suspension is going to get other teams talking… and thinking !!

@LIB3RT3_ This a very based way to live through ore-season. More people should do the same.

Silenzio per cortesia non ne voglio sapere nulla fino all'Australia non mi voglio illudere neanche un po'

Breaking Bad! i tried watching it three times but couldnt even complete the first season. people only pretend to like it because its famous but in reality its one of the most boring series ever..

@NickBromberg VPN+YouTube=👌

The Rolex 24 viewer experience on Peacock is intolerably bad. Excessive commercial breaks and many of those breaks are just music with a "coverage will resume shortly" graphic. The few people tuning in deserve so much better.

@David33_F1 @Aidan_Millward Brilliant response. 👌

@BarryWaterfiel6 @Aidan_Millward Nah man people like you make me angry. EVERYONE is saying you can’t see shit, if you are 250 km/h + and with more than 40 cars on track incidents are bound to happen. But sure Barry the random fucking idiot on twitter is the guy we should be listening to fuck you

“The biggest endurance race in the world!” I dunno, there’s a town in France that would like a word 😅

@David33_F1 @Aidan_Millward Can see further than if it's raining. 🤦

@BarryWaterfiel6 @Aidan_Millward Safety first even if you don’t like it
