It has certainly been a fun journey covering racing games and motorsports over the years.

Following a year of build-up, it was exciting to finally see what Tesla had in store last night, and for me, it didn’t disappoint. I just wish we knew less before the event, because much of it we expected. Rather than the shock of instant surprise we would enjoyed, had the reveal been conducted without the Joe Rogan discussion.
As an F1 fan, I’m reminded of the legendary Brabham B46 (1978) ‘fan car’. The concept of suction, negative pressure and downforce. But to see a car manufacturer make it real and viable is a huge step forward. The complexity of the thruster system is mind-blowing. To roll the car, rotate it and control the landing every time. Like a cat, this system will always work to right the balance of car on landing.
We’ve seen rockets, capsules use these systems for decades, reaction control thrusters. But that was in low or zero G. To see it here, running on Earth in this way is next level. Looking back at the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (LLRV-1) at Ellington Air Force Base, then forward to what we have now, the ideas have been there, but never the knowhow, technology or vision to see some of these ideas through.
Watching the second demo jumping the various vehicles, I’m instantly reminded of the Turbo Boost in Knight Rider. I used to have a toy talking version of the car back in 1984, still have it, though alas the voice no longer works. But I can tell you that car did a lot of turbo boosts in its play life. As the new Roadster drove on-stage, I felt there was a missed opportunity in not having Christopher Lloyd exit the car “dammit, wrong year!” but either way it was nice for the often-reserved engineers the spotlight to show off their work and get bit of credit.
Of course, all this tech isn’t really for us at all. It’s for the Moon and Mars Tesla’s. Off-world vehicles, that will require various attributes. The Cybertruck for off road and the Moon, combine thrusts and you have a multi-purpose vehicle, perfect for whatever conditions that may be thrown at it. But in the meantime, let’s have some fun for the journey. I look forward to future developments.
What's going on here @F1 @fia do the rules apply equally for all or not? Evidence here suggests rules are not being applied equally, that could leave some to believe there is favouritism.
Wonderful, it really is a magnificent statue. Retaing that classic Greek design. Just amazing work from all involved.
It's always weird to find myself blocked by an account I have had zero interaction with. @Neo_Geo_Forever
There's an easy solution. If a car pits during a VSC, mechanics have to wait 10 seconds before they can touch the car. No double stacking allowed.
For fuck sake @F1. You have to adapt your petty rulebook to some common sense. If you call VSC as the leader passes the Pits you keep the stupid thing going till he's also had the opportunity to stop and not simply give the race to second place on the stupid track you approved!
It's disappointing seeing the obvious manipulation of F1 these days. Stefano Domenicali wanting to please more "young people", what better than the youngest ever F1 World Champion.
Most of the fans will believe it, they'll believe Kimi is the best driver on the grid, because so many are sheep. It's a shame to see the sport dissolve to this point.
The perfect example of useless and unwanted 'job creation'.
GCSE grades explained 👇
Wondering how grades 9–1 compare to the old A*–G system?
Here's a quick guide to help make sense of the current grading system.

Just watched @Schwarzenegger Commando for probably the hundredth time and it never gets old. Reminds me of the first time I saw it in the 80's, loved everything about it.
Wow, Starship continues to amaze and yet still so much more to come.

I've supported this cause, the donations go straight to the people that need it, and I hope more of you can support it too.
Rochdale survivor Billy Howarth, co-founder of Parents Against Grooming UK (PAGUK), has spent years supporting victims of child sexual exploitation and campaigning for safeguarding reform.
Even before PAGUK was formally established, Billy and the late Linda Phillips were already working on the ground supporting vulnerable people in their community. Linda’s passing was a huge loss, but her legacy continues through Billy, his team, and the survivors they stand with. The fight for justice and protection continues.
Through PAGUK, they’ve built practical survivor support including counselling, court advocacy, peer support, and a community hub funded largely by donations and volunteers.
The PAGUK Survivor Hub in Rochdale urgently needs restoration to stay open.
If you believe survivors deserve support and accountability, please help amplify this.
The link to donate to the survivor hub renovations is below.

This is interesting, still needing to keep an eye on Mercedes it seems.
Now, George does upshift earlier than Vesti down that first Straight, which could compromise top speed,
but both cars are clipping down that Straight on an energy-rich track like Hungary - and again, we see speed caps:
RUS - 322.0 kph
VES - 328.0 kph
And Russell's car was dropping RPMs to begin with, before any upshifts
