That Corvette was whiped out by the #83 with François Perrodo behind the wheel. That is the AF Corse LMP2....basically teammates of the AF Corse leaders in GTE Pro. Hmm.

Interesting reaction from the girl in the Ferrari team, cheering on the crash...

The things I'll be watching :d (with BTCC coming after the weekend when it's available to download or watch online somewhere, and NASCAR Xfinity and Trucks in highlights format as usual)

 

Looking forward to the Spa 24 Hours. The GT World thing doesn't really get my interest as a championship, but I do like 24 hour races, mostly Le Mans, Nürburgring and Spa (cars) and Le Mans + Bol d'Or (motorbikes) :p

Another day, another red flag in Formula E. Thankfully Seoul is the season finale so only one more chance for this nonsense.

Great to have the halo, it only took 12 minutes before De Vries was able to get out of his car since he had Buemi on top of him :p 

 

After quite some fun races this season, this particular one was....rather dull, to say the last. No need to go back to Seoul after tomorrow.

I wonder how many drivers would have been killed but for the halo?

    • Referees and Linesmen assigned for CHL Final   Top game officials from the German DEL, the Finnish Liiga and the ICE Hockey League will take charge of this season's Champions Hockey League Final.   The head referees for the CHL Final, which will be played on 18 February in Zurich (SUI), will be André Schrader (GER) and Riku Brander (FIN) – two of the very best referees in the German DEL and the Finnish Liiga respectively with many officiated games on an international level under their belt.   Schrader has been a pro head referee in the German DEL since 2017 and has officiated in five playoff finals since then.   On an international level, he was selected for the 2014 and the 2022 Olympic Games as well as for games at the IIHF World Ice Hockey Championship, the IIHF World Junior Championship and the IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship.   Furthermore, the German officiated the 2023 CHL Final as a head referee and the 2015 CHL Final as a linesman.   Brander has been a head referee in the Finnish Liiga since 2019 and turned into a pro in 2022.   He has officiated over 350 games including playoffs and the bronze medal game in 2024.   On an international level, Brander was selected for the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship 2024 in Czechia, as well as for two Olympic Qualification Final Tournaments and multiple IIHF Ice Hockey U20 and U18 World Championships.   Running the lines at the CHL Final in Zurich will be Oto Durmis (SVK) and Simon Rieken (AUT), both working for the ICE Hockey League.
    • Best of the Best Ready to Battle in Zurich: CHL Final 2025 Preview   Switzerland's ZSC Lions Zurich will suit up against Sweden's Färjestad Karlstad as the two clubs battle it out on the Champions Hockey League's biggest stage for the European Trophy.   Zurich advanced after taking down fellow Swiss challenger Genève-Servette in the Semi-Finals with a 9-4 aggregate win while Färjestad overcame Czech side Sparta Prague with a 10-4 aggregate victory.   Färjestad have been excellent on the road Zurich continue to find ways to win Star players could be the deciding factor for both clubs   A commanding First Game performance against the reigning CHL Champions helped secure Zurich's trip to the Final as they engineered a five-goal aggregate advantage that saw several of their top players continue to be effective in all situations.   The Swiss netted six goals, including two on the powerplay, before Genève were able to light the lamp in the third period as Sven Andrighetto and company were able to slice through Genève's defence with ease.   The Return Game was a much tamer affair, with both clubs securing three goals.   But thanks to solid netminding from Robin Zumbühl who stopped 24 of 27 on the night, Zurich were able to close out the series and secure a much-deserved trip to the Final.   Looking ahead, the Swiss will have the home-ice advantage and while they've been better on the road, their numbers at the Swiss Life Arena have been strong.   Stats-wise, they're currently tied with the Swedes in most areas: goals for per game with 4.08 while their defence sits slightly behind Färjestad's with 2.00 goals against per game compared to their opponents' 1.83.          While neither club sports an advantage in any one category, Zurich's roster has some heavy hitters that could sway the game in their favour.   The aforementioned Andrighetto sits atop the league in points with eight goals and 12 assists for 20 points, while teammate Denis Malgin is in third place with six goals and 11 helpers for 17 points through ten games played.   Having the likes of the league's Top Scorers on your side will certainly be a comfort for a Swiss side that's about to face the league's best defence in Färjestad.   Much like the Swiss, Färjestad's First Game against Sparta gave them a multi-goal cushion that helped propel them past the Semi-Finals.   The Czechs kept it close through the first 20 minutes, but then in the middle frame, the Swedes extended their lead as Oskar Steen secured his club's second as Färjestad went on to net four more and to take it to 6-2.   Then on home ice, the home team picked up where they left off, netting their first of two powerplay goals as they smothered Sparta's offence all the while exposing the Czechs' defence for four more tallies en route to their tenth win of the season.   Who to look out for?   Sven Andrighetto, ZSC Lions Zurich   31-year-old Swiss international Sven Andrighetto and the CHL's Top Scorer heading into the Final has been a menace on Europe's biggest club ice hockey stage, racking up a whopping 20 points (8G, 12A) in 11 games played.   After almost bowing out to former CHL Champions Tappara Tampere in their Round of 16 series, Färjestad have now gone on to register multiple convincing wins starting with a 6-0 slashing of Red Bull Salzburg in the Quarter-Finals Return Game.   A big reason for this has been consistent play at both 5-on-5 as well as their lethal special teams play.   The Swedes showcased their third-ranked powerplay against Sparta to great success, securing a pair of powerplay tallies against the Czechs' fifth-ranked PK.   With so much talent up and down the roster for Färjestad, Zurich will need to be at the top of their game.
    • Finally there's a Wikipedia page for the qualifying, but it's not entirely up-to-date yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-country_skiing_at_the_2026_Winter_Olympics_–_Qualification   Brazil does have a male quota, due to Manex's 159 or so points in the sprint in Schilpario, but isn't mentioned in the list.   It also has this line, which I haven't seen before:   Is that like a safety net in case a country didn't get into the top-30 of the ranking and didn't get a basic quota? Hard one, because in that case it will be rather difficult to get under 300 points in a World Cup (assuming FIS would even allow them in with a wildcard), but interesting.
    • As per usual, the quotas can already be counted as quotas that will be reallocated

    • Madison Wilson retired a couple of weeks ago after giving birth to her first child last year. Won silver in the 100 backstroke at 2015 Worlds before transitioning to freestyle leading to numerous relay medals and records.
    • Had some time to check the work of whoever's been updating the alpine skiing olympic qualification page on wikipedia and I can confirm that the list is fully accurate.   So we officially have the following nations that have earned basic quotas. Remember that the basic quota is earned by an athlete who has an average result <= 80 points over the skier's best 2 downhill or super-g races during the qualification period an average result <= 120 points over the skier's best 5 giant slalom or slalom races during the qualification period   Basic quota for both men and women (50 nations):   Basic quota for men only (17 nations):   Basic quota for women only (4 nations):
