Something bad happens with alcohol? I'm confused.
At races? Still confused.
Have you seen my new hat?

Alcohol is a terrible thing. It ruins millions of people's lives, sometimes directly through their own issues with alcoholism, sometimes indirectly, as I'm sure anyone who's been beaten up by a group of drunken yobos can assure you. But anyway, Jav, I personally find your post highly offensive. Maybe you've never known someone who's been hospitalised after consuming too much alcohol in a drink they didn't even know was alcoholic at a party, or someone who has died as a result of serious health conditions bought on at an early age by excessive drinking, but you're wrong, wrong beyond all belief. Alcoholism is a disease, not something people "do to themselves".

Sorry, I lost my temper...
Anyway, back on topic; part of me kind of wants Porsche to run their testing livery in races, although I doubt they will.

I'd say the real thing (997) is more beautiful, but the 991 will almost certainly be more beautiful in the flesh.
Falken Tyres must have the best livery in motor racing today, and in my opinion one of the best of all time; right up there with the Gulf colours, Harrods Racing, and the psychedelic Martini Racing 917.

Welter Racing after Garage 56 slot.
Toyotas 2014 engine will also "be a normally-aspirated V8"

Sorry for the double post, but just to hit on this. Personal responsibility should come first not blame a company for a product that you decided to use.
Now even tobacco companies are sponsoring things through herbal or vapor based things, which I think just sponsor it as if it were the original and be done with it since they have brought alot of money to big sports!

I prefer the Falken Tyres car, that lizards livery is a bit messy for my tastes, but it does look pretty cool.

Remember the pic of a silhouette LMP / Prototype I posted a while back...
Well now this:
Turns out this is a Pescarolo 02 and is an LMP3 car:

Just a slightly recycled LMPC, which is an utterly useless class. They're just too slow on the straights and seem to get stuck behind GTE and GTC cars all the time when they fall back in the order. LMP2 is already cost capped, amateur friendly and already a hair slower than the faster GTs at the end of long straights, anything below in terms of cost and performance is best served in one of the GT categories.

It seems the more you have seen of endurance racing (or as the BBC F1 crew insisted "sports car racing") the more obsessive with looks and the mechanics you get. If I ever get like that please remind me to end it all before anyone get's to suffer.

Strakka have announced that they will be using the Dome S103 in WEC next year.
Shame it's not a P1, but good to see Dome finally finding the team they needed to get back into prototype racing.

Are you saying I'm like this or the user I replied to? I see you liked my comment but I'm lost due to lack of sleep so you must guide me good sir.

Considering Strakka's greatest successes have been in P2, it's a good move.
