Being live on my own TV at home is definitely a dream come true. Photo thanks to my wonderful girlfriend who’s watching at home ❤️
No words can describe the bravery of Loek Hartog. As drivers we’re told not to do this, but he had the instinct that Ollie otherwise wouldn’t make it.
Give @loekhartog1 driver of the year, decade, and a lifetime achievement award 👏
Get well soon @OllieMillroy!
This is the onboard from the Phantom Global Porsche, showing Loek Hartog rescuing Ollie Millroy. Just a warning that these images are pretty harrowing.
A statement of the Xiaomi China GT Championship reads among others that "rescue workers arrived at the scene of the accident at the earliest time".
It's clear though that Hartog was at the burning Ferrari for a full minute already, before the first marshal even shows up. The time between the impact and the marshals starting to extinguish the flames, is almost eighty seconds.
China GT do praise Hartog in their statement... But if eighty seconds is "the earliest time" for marshals to reach a burning car, that's not something to be thankful for, but it's something to be incredibly worried about. Especially, considering Millroy's Ferrari was really not that far away from a marshals' post.

Recently got into watches. Bought my first nice watch to wear at my wedding (Speedmaster), but already have a long wishlist of other watches to get. This Tudor Monarch is so beautiful.
At my client's request I've been using Claude Design more lately. It's cool. It allows for better collaboration and faster shipping. But man... fine tuning a design feels like you're micromanaging a bad junior designer that never gets it quite right.
Out of curiosity I plugged my home electricity rates in the Tesla app. I have a “ultra-low overnight” plan from my provider, which targets EV owners. I can’t believe how little I spent on driving that car.
(I drive ~12,000km per year, and use very little Superchargers)
And I thought it couldn't get worse... xitter.gq/OtsileJK/status/203392…
I love how the Nurburgring 24H has become the platform for all the passion projects. The HWA Evo II, now this.
Or maybe it already was...
You dreamed it. We built it. The BMW M3 Touring 24H.
What began as an April Fools’ joke turned into reality after your overwhelming demand in 2025.
This beast is ready to take on the 24 Hours of Nürburgring—one race only.

First car: 2007 Fiat Grande Punto Sport. A little 1.3L turbo hatchback with 90hp and a 6-speed manual. Great little first car but slow.
Current ride: 2020 Tesla Model Y LR AWD. The best daily I can imagine right now. Can’t beat EV.
I like blue.
Post your first ride and then your current ride(s)
For me. First car at age 16
An old 1977 boat Chevy Impala. Had ton of miles but had a 350 v8 so loved the power. But oof the gas mileage killed my grocery store stocker pay check. (Picture below is similar to what I had. Sadly I never got a pic of my first car.)
Current is my Model S and CT
I never in my dreams thought I’d have a self driving car at age 16 or think it would be possible.
Please let this be the inspiration for many future car interior designs 🙏
After many years of development, I’m excited to share the interior of the first electric Ferrari designed by LoveFrom. Tactile controls and digital interactions blend into one cohesive interface, shaped through deep collaboration across engineering, interaction, graphics, typography, sound, and industrial design. So incredibly proud of the thoughtfulness and care the team brought to every detail.

It’s funny cause it’s true. Make it stop.
Our rich, straight Dutch friend was invited to a meeting with HR after he checked the “Have you ever been discriminated against?” box and listed sexuality, social class, and ethnicity. HR explained to him that this was not how the question was intended to be interpreted. However, he apparently managed to convince them on the ethnicity point, arguing that we make him speak Dutch and laugh at him
If this ends up happening, the Xiaomi cars will become a serious contender for my next daily driver.
Didn’t know this laptop, but it’s a great example of why you don’t need to copy Apple to make a well designed product.
I’m getting bored of the repetitiveness of Apple. I’m never excited anymore about buying a new iPhone or MacBook. I’m a prisoner of their ecosystem.
