Former WRC driver Kristian Solhberg landed here on Thursday to start coaching and working with 4-time Bulgarian Rally champion Miroslav Angelov. It was speculated, that Angelov was going to announce a

Yea yesterday was the most rain I'd seen in a while. Presumably racing could still happen.   And for those wondering I am fine.

Yeah, next year's side program around the GP's has taken quite a hit, with not a single GP (!) having both F2 and F3 anymore :( 

 

MotoGP has it's system up so much better with Moto3 and Moto2 travelling with them every race, and Red Bull Rookies Cup now and then. Hopefully at least the W Series will have grown a bit and be more interesting than the often quite dull 2019 season.

Payback for 2008 IRL as Oliver Jarvis caused a collision with Scott Dixon and cost Briscoe/van der Zande the title.

 

Castroneves should send Jarvis a box of chocolades at the very least :d

 

Castroneves didn't win a title even dating back to his IndyLights days where Tony Kanaan won the 1998 title IIRC.

Sure enough, Simona de Silvestro is back at Indy 500 :yes 

 

Spare me the diversity crap, Simona was making waves in IndyCar long before the politically correct morons ever bothered to take a look at her. It's not like Carmen Jorda or Milka Duno should ever be back driving a race car :roflmao:

Saw some of the esports racers I follow were racing the e-version of the Rolex 24 at Daytona this weekend. That served as a good reminder that the “real” race is scheduled to take place next weekend. I came across an early version of the start list. Lots of big names from IndyCar, NASCAR, and the various Endurance racing scenes will be at the start. There will be 5 classes (DPI, LMP2, LMP3, GTLM, GTD) contesting this years race (smallest is GT Le Mans with only 6 entires, largest is GT Daytona with 19), and there should be 49 entries in total. Here’s the start list I found: https://us.motorsport.com/imsa/news/rolex-24-hours-entry-list/4995538/

      We had few early red cards in today's AFC qualifier matches.  PRK managed to get a draw from so-called Asian Champion Qatar despite playing almost the whole match with 10 men! Saudis despite one man down saved themselves by a very late goal and beat China    Iraq also played the entire match with 10 players and managed to not lose to Kuwait. I believe they have a good chance to qualify behind South Korea which will qualify anyway   Japan destroyed Bahrain too, 12 goals in 2 matches  they are clearly a head and shoulder above everybody else. the rest have to fight for the 2nd spot in that group. Australia is in big trouble now with 1 point after 2 "easy" matches.   as for  Iran, despite playing not-so-good they still found a way to win matches 1-0. this reminds  me of 2022 qualification campaign, when the team was playing no good yet managed to win matches mostly 1-0.

      Tug of war world championships has ended.   Results in World Games categories:   640 kg men: 500 kg women: 580 kg mixed:   Interesting is that Basque Country grabbed bronze medal in women's division. I don't know how quotas will be decided in this case. As for now nothing is official about quota places in this sport. Info from official website of World Championships.

      The fully Swiss format is awful, as Heywoody says. I would prefer a 4-vs-4 cross-pool format.   But adding more matches at the group phase is a big problem too, the calendar was already too congested.
