NSIAP. Since it’s the off-season and all: this vid with a good pair of headphones…. Damn. Today’s cars don’t go vroom like this.

Not 8-10 seconds, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see 3-5.

The field spread only gets closer as regulations mature and stay the same.

Yep. Impossible to predict the spread accurately, but I'd be surprised if it's more than that amount.

Yeah, I'd say back in the day you would see 5 easy, but I think now you may see 3. Things have just gotten so proscribed and mature.

... and the PU formula's not changing, so there's that.

Love, love, love the one-handed steering with the back end squirming all over the place under braking for the hairpin. Wonder who the driver is.

Back when I drove the course it was not as exciting because we were in my German cousin's minivan. BUT, it was Wednesday after the race and a lot of the safety fencing and guardrails were still in place.

The sound is incredible in person, even with some regular supercars.

Being an F1 champ has its benefits, like asking your neighbor to drive his F40 and the neighbor says yes:

SIAP ... Death threats against Latifi after Abu Dhabi GP. That's pretty fucked up. People suck.

Airfare booked for Montreal.  Wife is looking at hotels now.  I'm already getting excited.  Going to head out early and go to Quebec City for a couple days then take the train to Montreal on Wednesday so we can be there for the pit walk Thursday.
