Why is every advert during the ITV #BTCC broadcast for shower aids or stair aids, or cremation plans. Is the demographic watching really that old.

do racing "news" outlets know they can write about the tragedy that just occurred at Nurburgring without mentioning that Max Verstappen is racing in it? the world does not revolve around Formula 1 drivers.

Have added #GTWCEurope and #ELMS to Fullsendindex.com ahead of this weekends season kick offs. Will likely be watching ELMS and #NLS myself, as well as #WRC Who needs F1?

Good day working on FullSendIndex.com yesterday, finally fixed a bug and now can have a race be part of two different series - damn you 2012 Sebring 12hrs for that! Also improved workflow adding events - so now available for review are 1995 #WRC, and 1997-2000 #CART seasons and races!

Have now added every #F1 season and every #WEC (modern era) season to Fullsendindex.com Need to do the individual races next - and for some reason, of all the data I have in my F1 Results spreadsheet, the track for each race isn’t one 😐so guess that’s my evening sorted

Currently tenting. Hoping the tent stays in agreement over the next few hours. Already witnessed one family lose their tent and it’s not even reached its peak yet.

Just discovered a playlist on YouTube of the 1998 FIA GT Championship. That’s this weekends motorsport fix sorted! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpmSva4zBovWpJXTa_aMMqwIj_GiY-mYy&si=evY5aVFCpxV9DjM0

Forgot to lube up before my run and boy am I regretting that right now.

#F1 weakest race of the 3 so far. Suzuka continues to be a very poor modern F1 race track. But still some good battling and racing. Good McLaren strength, chinks in the mercedes armour. 7/10 for me on the Full Send Index. fullsendindex.com

That was a cracking race, and at Suzuka no less. Really enjoyed that from start to finish. Some great overtaking and racing all round #f1

This guy is his own worst enemy As much as I appreciate him for stepping outside F1 and doing things like NLS, his utter petulance in #F1 has never gone away, on or off track.

#F1 reducing recoverable energy on a Qually lap to improve the perception of them being flat out. I say we take this to its logical conclusion already - remove the cars, drivers set a lap on foot. Then it will solely be about the drivers abilities!

Snow and hail on this mornings “easy recovery” run was not welcome - had to speed up (and cut it short) to get out of it. I’m happy to run in most conditions if I’m dressed for it, but I felt like I was being sandblasted!

As usual it’s the final hour of #IMSA Sebring 12h and race control call the FCY as quick as possible to ensure a close finish.

And just as you said that, FCY for a dive plane you could have local yellowed or code 60. I love IMSA for the 'quality' of the racing, it is always fun to watch a clown car crashing, but they need to do something about those yellows

I absolutely LOVE multi class endurance racing. And #IMSA Sebring 12h is great. Not least because I can still get housework done during the yellows and not miss anything.

Japan creates such cool race cars then absolutely refuses to let you watch them.

Looks like #ELMS is behind a sign in wall on the new #WEC app? That’s terrible tbh - being able to chuck it on in the background on my TV via YT was a big part of why I was able to watch it. For WEC I hook my laptop up, but the harder you make me work to watch, the less I will.

That’s my Tough Mudder UK Season Pass for 2026 bought, as well as my ticket for Worlds Toughest Mudder. Cannot wait!

GOAT Contender Livery.

Went to Le Mans in 2010 excited to see (an) Jaguar race there, as well as see Nigel Mansell racing Both were out by Lap 4 😬#Lm24

Katsuta claims first WRC win at Safari Rally Kenya#WRC

If there is one thing I have learnt watching Max race since at least 2021 - if me and him differ on our understanding of what racing is, I’m the one who’s right. #f1

They’ve played the 00s #F1 theme the wrong way round.

Well that was an absolutely cracking #chinesegp - if these rules are creating the wrong kind of overtaking then I don’t wanna be right Kimi is the real deal, we will have a WDC fight on our hands. Lewis Hamilton hasn’t lost anything. Ferrari podium at last! #F1

Smashed it 💪 www.justgiving.com/page/mattand... Gan on Carlisle!

The random little places you find in the middle of nowhere. 8.3 miles down, 8.3 miles to go! www.justgiving.com/page/mattand...

Cracking #F1 Qually session. Pleased for Antonelli - showing Russell he’s gonna have to work for this title Lewis is back as well, obviously extremely pleased to see that 😁😁 Very surprised at how close Hadjar is to Verstappen as well

Thoroughly enjoyed that #F1 sprint race. Drivers having to be really strategic with where they used the power to make a move stick led to some utterly fascinating battles up front.

Have finished my usual rotation of post race podcasts - dissapointed in some of them as I don’t understand the viewpoints about the racing/cars “Getting to within a second of the car in front and then pushing a button to breeze past is not overtaking” - that’s exactly what happened before with DRS?

Just watched the #F2 sprint race. Throughly enjoyed that, some great racing. Noel Leon is one that caught my eye, though mostly because his name is a palindrome

Seeing a lot of complaints that the Aus GP wasn’t the right type of racing and I genuinely don’t understand - can someone explain to me what “real” or “pure” racing is? #f1

In its natural habitat.

I won an award at work. Instead of it motivating me I have started doing less. Obviously I worked too hard and I'm now trying to find the right level between working and not getting fired.

Great race that. Controlled race from George, with a good drive from Kimi just behind. Lewis has his mojo back, he hasn’t lost anything. Brilliant debut from Linblad - points and put Lawson firmly in the shade. He’s my driver of the day I think. #ausgp #f1

Was reserving judgement on these rules/cars until after a race - and I am positively encouraged based on the sample size of one. I’ve not thought about super clipping at all, and the cars seem raceable, with overtaking possible. #ausgp #f1

Hello my old friend #f1 #ausgp

There is something special - and right - about getting up when it’s still dark for the first race of a new #F1 season #ausgp

Utterly confused by this in The Range - that’s just taken a fantasy livery to the next level hasn’t it? #F1

My timeline has gone from Villa fans being miserable about results to F1 fans being miserable about the new cars

Thank God we don’t let Cadillac in incase they made a mockery of the sport with their performance #f1

Boring #IndyCar race. Time for #NASCAR - no secret that I’m a fan of COTA, and I love a good NASCAR race anyway, so looking forward to this. Hopefully 23XI can make it 3 from 3.

I enjoy #IndyCar because I’m a racing junkie, but it is very much background racing for me these days, and I can see why people turn off. I have nothing against domination, but Palou is so clearly ahead of the field it’s not even funny. And as for driving round in 15 year old cars..
