I just bought a shite ton of Chemical Guys products, so I'm hoping to get a similar look here soon.

Pretty sweet but hey are so quiet now. The older v8 from a couple years ago that hit 18,000 rpm rattled your soul

I love going back to the wider and lower rear wing.


Hate the little stub nose though. Seems like only Mercedes has come up with a design to not have that feature and they are dominant....other teams, please take note.

Check out some of the Ferrari Corse Clienti videos to hear the differences. The v10 cars scream like banshees. The turbos kill the sound.

The new cars look a lot better, especially the lower, wider rear wing. However I have my doubts that the racing is going to be any better. But I believe over the next few years, Ross Brawn is going to improve that too.

One of my Sports bucket lists is to watch a big F1 event in Europe. I wish it was a bigger deal in the US. Freaking NASCAR and Indycar

It's gonna be a lot bigger in the US going forward. New owners are Americans and they've stated that they want to push hard in the US to gain popularity. Lewis has also said he loves the US and wants to do whatever he can to make F1 popular here.

IndyCar is actually pretty good, especially on the non-oval tracks.

Here's the Renault car:

These are looking like a 'classier' version of the 2008 cars. Nice
