    IMSA is coming to Mid Ohio this year, and there’s a vintage Grand Prix as well. Thought I might check out the Indy car race there as well.

    Season passes are really reasonable.

    IMSA and the Vintage GP weekend are a lot of fun at Mid-Ohio. Indy Car brings a bigger crowd and a less inviting environment. I usually go the for the Vintage GP. It's a good time to get out of the neighborhood, being Comfest and all.

    Put Max in an equal car & watch him win a lot of races. He's a hard charger.

    Let's hope those Frenchie French motors are up to it.

    Based on my experience with Renault, there will be electrical issues.

    One of the rookies just got hitched. That's Brendon Hartley.

    Sirotkin gets the Williams seat next to Stroll and Kubica is signed as Williams' Reserve and Development driver.

    "... beyond the hype to the reality of Williams Racing's decision to hire Sergey Sirotkin and not Robert Kubica."

    A compromise, of sorts (racer.com)

    I sure hope Kubica can make it to the F1 grid again. I'm pulling for him. :Stig:

    After Alonso's strong performance in the Rolex 24 this weekend, he was just signed to drive for Toyota in the 2018 season WEC. That means he gets his shot at Le Mans, among other things.

    He hasn't dropped off the McLaren F1 roster, plans to do both o_O, except for one WEC race that conflicts with the F1 calendar.

    Meh. Do you really watch the pre race stuff just for the 19 seconds of boobs?

    C’mon. If you’re not there, who cares.
