Deleterious Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Corvette is coming out with their first hybrid later this year. It will be called the E-Ray and base price is $104,000 for the coupe and $111,000 for the convertible. Does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. Quote
Deleterious Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Just casually looking at room packages in Vegas for the race. Looks like the cheapest packages will run you between $2,500 and $3,000 a night with a 3 night minimum for a room + 2 grandstand tickets. Quote
Deleterious Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 Reports today that Ferrari is one second faster than last year's car in the simulator. Quote
Deleterious Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 We are only 6 weeks away from the start of the season. A month away from pre-season testing. Quote

As a Silver Arrow fan, I’m hoping last year was a one off and they can find the pace again. Really, all rational F1 fans should feel the same way as a legit 3 team race for the constructors would be amazing for the sport. Quote
Deleterious Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Trying to imagine what it is like being a test driver for Haas. Their simulator is probably a computer off the shelf at Best Buy and a copy of the latest F1 video game. 1 Quote
Screwball Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 I didn't know the Fittipaldi kid was doing that. I'm a big fan of Emerson, and I always thought he had a name that screamed race car driver. Emerson and Little Al at Indy was a classics of classics, whatever year that was. Quote
CMRivdogs Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) The gentleman who owns the local winery, Patrick Duffler, was instrumental in the Marlboro F1 racing team that won championships in 1974 and 1976. !974 with Fittipaldi. Nice guy, about 80 now. Bought the land in 1983 when his then wife asked him what he wanted to do important with the rest of his life. So they bought a farm. Planted their first grapes in 1985. Their current operation consists of 300 acres, more than 40 in vines. Small speciality hotel, restaurant, wedding and event venue and tasting room. He's planted most of his property with trees, and has added walking trails this year.As well as some of the best wine I've tasted. You usually see him on the grounds in fatigues, His favorite saying is that any man who looks into the mirror and thinks he's important is an asshole. Edited January 25, 2023 by CMRivdogs Quote
Deleterious Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 A few things about Red Bull. Rumors of a new livery this year and people are speculating it will be white. A lot like the special one they ran for Honda in the past. The unveil will be in NYC during fashion week. More teams chasing those American dollars. Quote
Deleterious Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 That is nice. Last year vs this year Quote
Deleterious Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 The feeling/guess is that a lot of cars will feature black this year. People are speculating they are doing it to cut down on weight. Quote

Hongbit Posted February 2, 2023 Author Posted February 2, 2023 My first thought is it looks like RB has 3 more seasons of competitive racing before it all goes to shit. In all seriousness, it’s great to get Ford back into F1. Quote
Deleterious Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 FIA invites applications for up to two new teams to enter F1 from 2025 Quote
Deleterious Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Ford has confirmed they are returning to F1. No specific team announcement though but it sounds like RB will announce that in a few minutes at their launch in NYC. Quote
Deleterious Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 I bet Honda is thrilled. They are a major sponsor of RB and will be on the back wing this year. But all the talk is about RB and Ford. Quote
Deleterious Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Where does Honda end up? How fun would it be if they applied to be one of the new teams? Quote
Screwball Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 ***Thread hijack*** Here is proof if something has an engine and they have a race, a bunch of people with great big balls will drive them. You have to watch to the very end. Quote
