I have just learned that Nascar in their wisdom :rolleyes: have credited Larson with 10th ,

They went back to the Yellow flag caution moment to give Mcdowell th win so i'm unsure why as Larson was 4th at that point ,

You can see he avoids the wreck but does hit another car and slam the wall before the line ,

See what you think ?

It looked like Larson was in 6th place when the cars in front crashed, then he went on to hit the wall. So yeah, I don't know where 10th came from. But did I hear that right, the winner never actually ever led the race? He was in 3rd, then contributed to taking out the two cars in front of him, is he a worthy winner? o_O
On the victory lap I thought he'd got stuck on the grass after spinning his wheels, then when I saw all the smoke enveloping the car, even inside it, I thought he'd set his tyres on fire! You can tell I'm not well informed on the intricacies of Daytona, but simply watch it for the spectacular showpiece it is. :cool:

Yeah he has never won anything in his 13 year career ,

He fully deserves it though , you gotta be in it to win it ,

You only need to lead the last lap Right :)

The smoke in the car is from the burning rubber from the burnout they all do to celebrate , They also send the water temps through the roof so steam is also flying out of every orifice !!

The motors are junked after the race so they don't care lol ,

It was a decent race marred by the totally not needed wreck on lap 15 sending 16 cars out of the race ,

It's Daytona road course this week but the week after is when i will know if Larson is on it ,

Miami , homestead is the weekend after next and here is where his true skill will shine cause nobody and i mean nobody can ride close up to the wall like he does,

:)

I see Aston Martin are returning to F1. It will be nice to see that iconic brand back in motor racing. I believe they're going to be using British racing green livery, the same as Jaguar used when they last ventured into F1. Let's hope they're more successful. :rolleyes:

They were the main sponsor for the Red Bull F1 team last couple of years , even though the engine was a Honda Power unit lol ,

Isn't it odd that a Team based on an Energy drink and is in itself an Advert need a primary sponsor ?? , anyway that's another thing ?

Are they actually coming with an Engine though i mean F1 has been Mercedes , Honda , Renault and Ferrari engines for so long ? ,

I mean the only way they can afford to build these engines is because there are customer teams to buy and use them ? , So are they going to be a New team with their own Engine or a Team takeover ?

I should know these answers but i have been really busy with the Nascar season start XD

Which buy the way ,

Nascar has just announced that the Cup cars will run on Dirt @ Bristol Speedway on March 28th later this month ,

They have not done this since 1970 ,

I can hardly wait i feel like a Dog with 2 dicks :D

You're asking me?! Yes you should know these answers, you're the go-to motor racing guru. :) From what I can remember of the article I was reading, they're going to be using Mercedes engine, gearbox and suspension. So basically a low-rent Mercedes :rolleyes:

So it looks like Lewis isn't in the best car anymore if qualifying is anything to go by ,

Max Verstappen is the real deal and it now looks like he has a Red Bull that can match the Mercedes who's cheques seem to have bounced ,

F1 have changed the Aero rules and it no longer suits their longer wheel based car ,

Interesting race ahead XD
