Hi,

 

@sunburnwilly 

I live not too far from this first circuit Paul Ricard Castellet and I bought my 911 in 2011 from the Porsche dealer who is located in the commercial area of the circuit! Beautiful place in Provence / France.

 

The Panoz is going strong  👍😉

If you like thrills, watch the video until the end, it starts last and doubles everyone, even the strongest

She was an incredible talent regardless of gender . A huge loss to the automotive community .

[mustang_flht]

Yess ! For Sabine Schmitz 👍

 

And Lilou Wadoux is a rising star and a great hope, because she is only 21 years old and she has already achieved an extraordinary ranking at Le Mans with the greatest drivers: she drives extremely well and here in Europe everyone is impressed. I remind you that the Richard Mille Racing team squarely put her as an official LMP2 Le Mans driver with the 8 times world rally champion Stébastien Ogier and super driver Charles Milesi.

 

I remind you that the Signatech / Richard Mille team is a leading team and one of the best in the world, they are very demanding, they were 2 times LMP2 world champion and won 3 times the 24 hours of Le Mans in LMP2.

 

Unfortunately for 2023 Richard Mille stops LMP2, Signatech continues with Alpine and I don't know if Lilou Wadoux has a steering wheel for 2023?

I have some news from Lilou Wadoux, she continues her extraordinary journey, indeed 3 weeks ago she was the first woman in the world to drive a Hypercar WEC: the Toyota GR010 Hybrid. She impressed the Toyota team with her professionalism and quality of driving, she made among the best lap times during the sessions of the Rockies tests in Bahrain. I think it has a steering wheel for 2023 but I don't know which one yet, I'll let you know if I have the info.

It's time to let women drive in F1 and other elite racing formats,in fact way past time. If someone passes muster let them drive. The good old boys club needs to be disbanded.

[sunburnwilly]

If you bring the monies you can play

plain and simple

And that's The Good Old Boys Club.

[sunburnwilly]

If a female driver brings the sponsorship monies and gets a ride is it still the good old boys club ? 

You bring the monies you get the ride regardless if you are the most qualified for it .

I wonder what he used for a transmission in that thing?

I know how hard it is to go that fast in a standing start mile. Hell 200MPH is a serious accomplishment. Everyone who thinks their car/motorcycle will leave as a 200MPH club member heads home shaking their heads wondering what happened.. Congrats on a seriously stout run.

 

Hope they go to Bonneville. Love to see that monster's accomplishment on the big course.

Pretty sure our Taurus will do 200mph in the standing mile. 😛

Curious because when he first started out it sounded like he was in 5th gear.
