Here’s What Race Car Homologation Actually Means

My⁽¹⁾ synopsis (Mama told Me that I'm allowed 1 fancy word per day when I play on the Internet.) is that the PTB take all the measurements and breeze results, toss them into a blender that says FIA on the side of it and turn it on for 2 minutes and then pour it into a Laboratory Beaker to check the volume then divide that by the number of bottles of Wine consumed by the Stewards from 3 Seasons ago then convert that number from °C into °F. Then they publish that number to the public.

When the Public asks what it means they are told to shuddaup and pay either their TV Bill, FIA for TV via the Official FIA Website or buy expensive tickets to see a Race in person.

Then they hand the Teams the Regulations Manual for the next Season and tell the Teams to use the information in the New Regulations Manual.

LOL. Indubitably!

I always wondered what “Homologation” meant; now I can sleep better, ma1.

That’s what “(Gran Turissimo) Omolagato” means. (After 8yrs of Latin in the late-60s/early-70s, I don’t have that in my vocabulary, anymore...)

[mabarker1]

And currently on the Grid it's GET UR BOOGIE BOARDS OUT BECAUSE SURF'S UP !!!

Just be sure that the zer0 is not behind you or you might end up like the Paddle Boarding Chef.

Media Alert Breaking Snewz: hammiebuttboi has asked the Crew if the Drivers will get the usual 10 minute warning to startup because he needs a "Comfort Break"

Rumors have it that blubba "Noosegate" Wallace sent hammiebuttboi a TEXT telling him that in the United States it's call "Going to the Port-a-can" but real Drivers just piss in their Firesuit and deal with it.

And the Formation Lap begins !!!

[mabarker1]

OmolagatoThat sounds more like an "Everything Omlette".

Race Control: 4 Formation Laps and then a Rolling Start.
