Danny Ric had the time of his fricking life in the car, happy he was able to drive it, and thrilled Zac gave him the chance to subvert his idols car. I mean I know the bet with Cyril, but Zac is legit making this shite happen.




There's a vid on the F1 site of Ric's drive in the old Monte. He was sideways off one of the corners.

I'm liking Ric.


Here's his helmet for the COTA race

The crowd was incredibly loud in the TV clips, what was it like in person?


It’s not football stadium loud, but that’s because it’s so spread out. It’s a lot of fun seeing/hearing the crowd reactions. Can’t wait to see a great overtake tomorrow and the reaction.

My view from Turn 9. Crowd was incredible yesterday for qualifying, so I’m really looking forward to the actual race today. Traffic was a nightmare leaving last night though. Made leaving Tiger Stadium seem like a walk in the park.

We are in turn 9 as well. We stayed for Billy Joel, but left after the main set which appropriately concluded with piano man, played exactly at 9 o’clock on a Saturday. We heard 3 of the encore songs on the walk to the car and got to walk across the track instead of the bridge. My son and his friend grabbed a couple pieces of the gravel as souvenirs.

No issues with traffic getting out at that time.

We’re going to see Shaq, aka DJ Diesel after the race concludes. Hopefully that will let some of the traffic die down. It’s too far to walk for Kool and the Gang.

Same, stayed for the whole concert and was shocked how easily we got out. Went walk on the track and took a few pics, I was surprised at the hills from turn 11 to turn 12.

LEAVE after the concert or the race? We mage it to our hotel by I-35 and 183 in 32 minutes after leaving the parking lot.

A little muggy this morning. All good. Excited.

Seems like the weather is similar to Baton Rouge’s today. Overcast and cooler than the rest of the weekend?

I don’t have ESPN news channel and that’s what qualifying was on yesterday so I have only seen the highlights… aggravating.

Overcast, clearing some. F4 decided to launch a car like W Series yesterday. Will be a dry race.

I'm steaming it but my guess is they'll put commercials on and move the race to the corner like soccer gsmes.

Yeah, I mean, that’s the British press for you.

I would never have the humility to do what Brundle is doing
