Bathurst timing is atrocious... no information on tyre choices, wrong driver names...

I love Bathurst. The race where a driver you've never heard of can end up leading by 9 seconds thanks to intense rain, and where 3 hours in, you have no idea who is going to win

Supercars (and most racing series) would benefit from larger, readable race #s

Even smaller Chinese cities have massive stations for high speed rail. It's kind of wild.

This train station in China cost $7.8 billion to build.

America could have built 4 of these over the last 2 years for under $32 billion, but we decided to send that money to Israel so they could kill a bunch of civilians.

First safety car at Bathurst on lap 55.

#17 hits the wall, with a shock absorber fleeing the vehicle

Spotted a suspected "TITS OUT FOR THE BOYS" flag on Mount Panorama.

Bathurst culture is... yeah.

One pit crew member has a helmet that reads "STRAIGHT IN NO KISSING" and I'd love to see them explain that without flinching on the national broadcast

they’ve got a guy jamming a camera up into the car to explain what the anti roll bars are, what they do, how to adjust them, and the differences a driver might want in the wet and the dry.

f1 could fill the dead air in practice sessions with this but instead we just get mindless drivel

While providing tech support for my FIL:

FIL: What's that screen?

ME: The terminal. You should never use it.

FIL: Never?

ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself?

FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.
