I think he just bought a F3 team. Might compete in F2 and F3.

They’ve released the schedule for next season.

Couple things of note:

-10 sprint races, including Monaco. I’m not sure how I feel about this one. On one hand there’s an extra qualifying session in Monaco. On the other hand this could take away from the whole weekend build up to the all important all or nothing qualifying session.

- F1 races do not interfere with any of the big 24 hour races. Lemans, Daytona, Spa, or Nurburgring. Could see some drivers attempt all or some of these.

The only good thing about the Sprint in Monaco is the extra qualifying session

A sprint to start the season is weird. You would usually like to have a extra practice in the beginning of the season

Bold of you to think we will start in Bahrain or Saudi.

Hell yeah. I doubt we'll see anyone at Daytona as we never do, but Le Mans would be amazing. Zak is a marketing guy, and seeing as how it's their first year in hypercar, I'm sure he'd love to put a heavy hitter behind the wheel for Le Mans. Mclaren would have three races to get their shite together (assuming no Qatar) and work out the kinks before the big race.

Ford could maybe get Max in their new hypercar at Le Mans, but that may be a tall ask as that's their debut race, and hypercar/prototype debuts rarely go well. Max doesn't put up with that.

Cadillac and Ferrari have pretty stacked endurance drivers already and no reason to pull anyone in. Aston Martin sucks in WEC/IMSA and F1, so it doesn't really matter. Alonso behind the wheel of the Valkyrie would be fun, but it ain't gonna happen. Alpine is getting out of the endurance game.

Zak wants that triple crown bad. With UA they have the experience for Le Mans and as an American he has the drive for Indy.

Max vs 100 pre-show is on for those interested.

He is going to obliterate these goons.

This is hilarious. He’s going to pass everyone in like 8 laps.

Max is enjoying the shite out of this... Great concept, but think they could have made it a slightly better format, but they didn't know til they tried it.

35 minutes to pass 100 go karts.

Really wish teh start would have been a little different to give him more passing at full speed.

Max on cutting the corner of 3 "These engines do very well for cutting the grass, so figured i'd do a little mowing"

Yeah, passing 20 cars just by pushing the gas doesn't lend a lot to drama.

Would suck to have been one of the drivers who qualified at the back. Some of them didn’t make it to the first corner before being eliminated.

I thought that was a pretty fun event. Pretty much expected the chaos on lap 1 with that many karts, but still kind of wild how he carved through every gap of the carnage unscathed.
