The 312T shows an overall width of 2030mm.

The big difference? Length.

312t wheelbase-2518mm 99.1 inches (A new Vette is 107.1 in comparison)
2022 car max wheelbase- 3600mm 141.7 inches

A new Suburban's wheelbase? 134.1 inches

These delays on bringing upgrades has to be a reflection of the salary cap.

Not sure how I feel.

It plays more into the execution of upgrades and limits just throwing money at a problem, but damn I feel like we might be missing some quality racing because teams are delaying until they know their upgrades are right.

I'd settle for seeing where the cars end up with a halfway decent race strategy for once.

I'll bet money Haas will not spend anywhere near the allowed cap this year. Neither will a couple other teams I'm guessing.

That's why I am baffled as to why they don't seem to be all that interested in a sponsor.

That would be nice as well.


As far as updates, Ferrari is supposed to be bringing a big update rumored to be worth 3 tenths.

That remains to be seen of course.

Odds one of the teams files a formal complaint if one/both of the WDC or WCC is decided by fewer than 25 points?

I couldn't understand all the talk about a second Singapore. Unless something has changed Singapore's first date is likely to be cancelled the way they have been flipping out with kung flu lockdowns.

Let alone the travel/shipping distance unless run back to back.

They're still Tracing Point



The R-B spec Aston Martin appears at Barcelona

I'm guessing the heat will be off Haas/Ferrari for a while.

It's a time-honored tradition. Everyone does it to some extent. Inspector Seb doing good work.

It's so east to do these days with photogrammetry. Don't need a high tech 3d scanner, just hundreds of pics and you can be within .2mm.

You think they employ inspector Seb to ONLY be Lance's #2? They probably just downloaded all the needed data from him.
