@Michael95494331 Rain delays at Indianapolis are far from unheard of. The previous setup had the Monaco Grand Prix ending long before the race began, as would many other European races. I’m not sure what my age or level maturity has to do with it, but thanks for the advice! You have a good day 👍

@StrangRacing There was no conflict. Rain isn’t engineering a situation. People, grow the hell up

Just idiotic to engineer a situation where the start of a grand prix clashes with the Indy 500… and on the same continent. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@damiEnbowman @RyanGreen2002 There weren’t that many people complaining about the Monaco GP running before it either… 🤷🏻‍♂️

@RyanGreen2002 @StrangRacing 500 could get back closer to noon and very few would complain.

F1 is having a red letter day. Very silly to punish a driver for showing emotion and losing his temper when a car has failed. Smacks of the referee wanting to be a part of the conversation. Meanwhile taking a car out of the race costs you just 10s. Crackers. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Four-way fight for the lead at Indy. It’s why this is the best race of the year. Period. Every year. #Indy500

@Wisdom_HQ The Usual Suspects, the Godfather, Milk, Carlito’s Way.

name ONE movie

‘Negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full.’ Kyle Busch’s response to a request to draft during a race years ago. Off the bat in Cup the Shrub was a missile, whip fast on the radio, and a force of nature off it. He’s gone, just like that. I’m at a loss. autosport.com/nascar-cup/new…

@brrrake Could have said the same thing about the 6 Hours of Spa as well. Or, for that matter, any IMSA race.

No super clipping, no active aero, just fucking good racing. 🙏🏻The Nurburgring 24🙏🏻

I love it that Max Verstappen is doing the @24hNBR. But please don’t make the mistake of thinking this year’s race is extra mega. It’s ALWAYS this mega. It is amusing watching F1 types ‘discover’ the race. It’s brilliant, however, to have the spotlight on GT racing. Thanks Max!

One of the most incredible, inspiring and fantastic human beings I have ever met. An example of extraordinary good, and a huge loss to a world crying out for more like him. Rest well Alex. bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1… #AlexZanardi

@stephenk22 @LeMansUltimate For me it is handsdown the best GT sim.

The moment @LeMansUltimate drops on console, I’m all over this! Mega free update for anyone who plays! 🙌

@PaulONeill29 He was one of my heroes too. Amazing, lovely, and a super driver.

Remembering a hero of mine who passed on this day in 2008 in a light air crash. David Leslie was an absolute beast and also a wonderful gent. The first person to congratulate me on my maiden win at Oulton in the BTCC... as you can see ❤️🙏🫡

For a lot of fans of a certain age, this car captured the spirit of sportscar racing in the mid-1980s; if not the trophies! RIP Bob Tullius, if nothing else, we’ll always have this beauty. #Group44 #Jaguar

@mrsnickhodge @GrandPrixDiary Marketing has its place. And the sport is attracting enormous audiences. But F1 cars absolutely should not coast into a sixth gear corner on a qualifying lap. That’s the engineering monkey running the zoo. And the walls of its cage are now made of ‘show’, not ‘pursuit of speed’.

@GrandPrixDiary @StrangRacing I HATE marketing! It’s all about a few power-driven egomaniacal people deciding to convince us of what they think we want or need, instead of listening to what people actually want.

Three F1 world champions know what they are talking about. The cars have been neutered, just so Audi can flog Q4 e-tron’s to people who eat lentils and wear itchy jumpers. Just wait for the pious advertising campaigns to come.. theguardian.com/sport/2026/mar…

@GrandPrixDiary It’s different this time around. They’re all invested and the teams grow in value every year. Ten of the 11 teams will turn a healthy profit this year, and Cadillac will within four. There is no reason to stop, and that means they will continue to push agendas.

@StrangRacing I’d say it’s marketing, marketing and marketing and once the manufacturers have had what they wanted, off they go.

He’s back in Club 100 and right back in the fight. New Silverstone Kart Circuit Junior lap record holder Finlay Strang!

@ListerLawrence ‘Do you not think Lawrence…’

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you see a Corniche?

Well it’s been at least a week since F1 made a decision that flies in the face of logic and reason. Like I always say, give it a choice and F1 will make the wrong one every time - and almost always in the name of ‘entertainment’. This one is idiotic. the-race.com/formula-1/barc…

@prmikes @paulpunter @johnnyherbertf1 Yes including one for Mike Whiting, brother of Charlie.

@StrangRacing @paulpunter @johnnyherbertf1 They used to sponsor a great Special Saloon Championship. Imps, Minis and so on. Saw a good few clubbies and Brands back in the day😀👍

Everywhere I go I see a racing reference.
