Do the rules still allow ground suckers — active down force promoters — like on the 2J Chaparral?

Thanks Chode, my good FRiend. I needed a reminder for when the season re-started and I’m getting the Tevo set as I type this.

Does each driver drink of bottle of Johnny Walker before the race?

If they did, it would be a much more compelling event.

Present Boss !

I’m going to make some Belgian Waffles for Sunday. I sure hope that UPS gets here soon with My real Belgians so I have time to chop them up < shrill british female voice > “because it’s no good coming home to lumpy belgians now is it ? < /shrill british female voice > and let them rest before mixing.

So We had the Summer Break. Now is it going to continue to be a Hammyfest ? Or is Toto and Dorothy going to give Valtteri Viktor Bottas a chance to score the Championship this Season OR start screwing Him over again with Team Orders ?

I’m going to say that Tohammyto Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung will break Bottas over like a Shotgun AGAIN.

No on Suckers, however the Front Nose/Wing assembly have multiple layered Wings with End Plates to direct any airflow over the Wing Assembly and down each Side Pods of the Car to the Radiators which is Ducted out the top rear of the Side Pods to flow over the Rear Wing. The Rear Wing has a Slat that opens IF the car is (1) within a Second of the Car in front of it AND in the DRS ZONE (Drag Reduction System) that has 2 spots around the Track that allow it All to work. The DRS FLAP is built into ithe Rear Wing. During the Race when they givesa head on shot You can see it Open and Close.

Sir Chode- Did I get that all Correct ?

As I write this, ESPN 2 has live qualifying coverage.

They get right into the garage areas and explain a lot of mechanical issues that you don't hear about on race day.

The weather looks perfect today - 66 degrees, sunshine, and light wind.

I assume the race is Sunday?

I only heard of Formule E a few months ago.Since I do not drive much any more I have been thinking about an electric truck. So far there are limits I am not willingvto live with, but I am still interested to see how the technology grows.

I think my favorite turns in racing are the Spa Eau Rouge and Raidillon combination. It looks terrifying.

Someone needs to feed tohammyto a few pounds of bad fish.

All tohammyto go is BORING!!! Very similar to watching frozen paint dry...
