The (Sim) Racing Bar Steward

@IMSARadio without any spoilers, do you think Verstappen being at NLS is good or bad? On balance, I think bad given some of the sheer nonsense I have seen written about it by people completely clueless about endurance racing.

@IMSARadio all of these so called brew connoisseurs know nothing. Not one of them has mentioned warming the pot. You have to warm the pot before you do anything.... #sebring12h

@GamerMuscleVid you have to try this mod out on stream - it's bloody brilliant. It was used in a Racedepartment/Overtake club event around Oulton Park Fosters last night and races really well: overtake.gg/downloads/1970…

@TheBishF1 @original_stig PS, could the caption for this video be "The Chuckle Brothers strenuously deny that time has been cruel to them..."?

#HappyBirthday Perry McCarthy, 65, quick but unlucky, a lovely guy, & a great mate. Pic: I’m the pretty one.

@TheBishF1 @original_stig Pel is just a top bloke. I met him once, and he tried to sell me his book. Told me he sold one just last decade... I also think he gave me a real scoop - did you know... he used to be the Stig! Seriously, he's a great guy, and it is a shame we don't see him more as a pundit.

@WilliamMunny77 @frentzen_hh Are you nuts?

@RacingSteward @frentzen_hh Michael left enough space.

Missing ! I am looking for a steering wheel from a F1 Car FW20. Last seen in Canada 🇨🇦 1998

@TheBishF1 @guardian I feel the same way about the Greens. I think a Green government would make us a lot more Scandinavian in our approach, which is really not a bad thing. I despair of anyone who votes for the hate, divisiveness and rich serving approach of Reform.

A SHORT THREAD: I welcome Hannah Spencer’s historic byelection victory for many reasons, including that she’ll serve the people of Gorton & Denton well; that I like Zack Polanski personally; & that I admire what he’s doing with the Green Party, which I’ve recently joined. (1/3)

@KarlTurnerMP I think you spoke an awful lot of sense on the Today programme this morning. I have voted labour all my life, and I'm frightened witless about the prospect of a reform government. If Farrage gets in, he'll hit the poor and vulnerable hardest.

@Motor_Sport Looks like he just aquaplaned off. Nothing he could have done.

Williams F1 reserve driver Luke Browning has suffered a monumental shunt at Suzuka’s infamous 130R during Super Formula testing 💥 Browning spun off in treacherous conditions, thumping the barrier hard enough to flip upside down and land on the other side of it. The young Brit walked away unharmed. 📹 Super Formula

@AlexBrundle @___BMA___ I think it's the TG185 🤔. I've seen it out at the Donington historic festival I think.

@___BMA___ That’s a Toleman - and the lad driving it was NW formula ford champ in the early 2000’s - which is why it looks a bit fast!

This Benetton is MOVING like a modern F1 car could only dream of. Not sure how high they've turned the turbo's up but it only does about 5 laps on the limit before it has to stop. So I'd say probably pretty high!

@TheBishF1 @Mariiiiiiinn @reutemann_cora Both Carlos and Francois were proper gentlemen. Both always struck me as being from an earlier era.

@Mariiiiiiinn @reutemann_cora What a silly tweet. I certainly don’t ever forget Carlos Reutemann’s style. Lole was my childhood hero in fact, & I tweet & write about him often.

Remembering beautiful François Cevert, who, had he not been killed at Watkins Glen in ’73, would be celebrating his 82nd birthday today, for he was born #OnThisDay in ’44. Has any #F1 driver ever had more striking eyes? I think not.

@TheBishF1 He had a lovely voice too.

@specutainment, @rcracing's Flav impression sounds more and more like a disturbing mash up between Joe Dolce and Ali G with every passing episode of MWM.

@dsceditor you didn't edit the phone call out of the twis podcast!

@KBow_Photo @specutainment No I'm not. You are absurd.

@specutainment I see there is an investigation ongoing into the crash that led to the red flag at Bathurst. I struggle to see what else race control could have done, as the track only became blocked a split second before the crash. And 77 should have slowed more. Racing incident.

@TheBishF1 @geshNHS The NHS and the people in it are fantastic. It needs protection from the likes of Reform, because they would privatise it in a heartbeat as they never use it. The NHS has problems, but it is fundamentally a decent, humane, and essential public service in keeping us all well.

I’m humbled to have my story featured on the St George’s Hospital (@geshNHS) website. My 2024 cardiac episode was a shock, but the NHS saved my life & as a result I’m able to live a normal, busy, happy life despite heart disease. The NHS rocks! ❤️ stgeorges.nhs.uk/newsitem/i-was…

@KBow_Photo @specutainment You're clearly a passive/aggressive troll. Go troll somewhere else.

@TheBishF1 I seem to recall he went okay in sportscars. Good helmet design too.

#HappyBirthday Giovanni Lavaggi, 68. He made his #F1 debut at Hockenheim in ’95, at 37, the oldest man in the field. His Pacific PR02 was poor & he DNF’d in all 4 races he started. In ’96 he joined Minardi, but his results were no better. Pic: Minardi M195B, Hockenheim, ’96, DNQ.
