Sorry for the double post over here but wanted to share the lol.

Verstappen Racing got DSQ after their win on NLS2 for using 28 tyres instead the allotted 24. Not sure how you fuck that up.

He might have to run another race to qualify for the 24h race because some idiot doesn't know how to count or didn't bothered to read carefully the rulebook. At least he had fun and celebrated a "victory".

And gets to show what it looks like when he races a car that just works.

This is the most "Max Verstappen" way of talking shit he could have possibly done.

Most of my predictions for this season have pretty much gone out the window, but I'm holding onto a Verstappen retirement announcement.

If they can't get a competitive F1 car soon Red Bull should put him in endurance races under Red Bull brand, pay some former Red Bull drivers (Ricciardo, Vettel) to be his teammates, get some great brand exposure and keep Max happy and away from Mercedes and Toto Wolff until you have a competitive F1 car again.
 
Red Bull hosted a drifting event in the Fast and Furious parking garage to promote VCARB's special Suzuka livery:

Continuing my trip through the archives...I somehow never realized Gilles Villeneuve died during his prime.

Oh, and it turns out a driver dies horrifically on camera at the start of the first F1 race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve a few weeks later. Another unpleasant surprise.
The race was marred by the death of Italian driver Riccardo Paletti, in only his second F1 race start. At the start, the lights took an unusually long time to turn to green. During this time, Didier Pironi, who had the pole position, stalled the engine of his Ferrari. Pironi lifted his hand to signal the problem just as the lights switched to green, which was too late to abort the start. The other cars swerved across the track, trying to squeeze past Pironi's stationary car.[3] Raul Boesel just clipped the back left of the Ferrari, spinning his March into the path of Eliseo Salazar and Jochen Mass. Salazar, Boesel and Mass suffered minor impacts but it looked as if everyone had passed the Ferrari without serious consequences.[4] However, Paletti could not react in time and slammed into the rear of the stranded Ferrari at 180 km/h (110 mph), catapulting it into the path of Geoff Lees. The Osella's nose was crushed in severely.

Due to the force of the severe impact, Paletti sustained heavy chest injuries and was lying unconscious in his car, wedged against the steering wheel. Didier Pironi and Sid Watkins, the FIA's head doctor, were on the scene to stabilise and assist Paletti. As Watkins climbed over the wreckage of the Osella, the petrol from the fuel tank ignited, enveloping the car in a wall of fire. When the fire was finally put out, the injured Paletti was without a pulse. It took the rescue workers 25 minutes to cut him out safely from his wrecked car, as the sparks caused by the cutting equipment threatened to re-ignite the petrol on the track. He was flown by a medical helicopter to the Royal Victoria Hospital, where he died soon after arriving. His mother was watching from the stands, as they were to celebrate his 24th birthday later that week. Paletti suffered a torn aorta as well as fractures to both legs.[5] According to track doctor Jacques Bouchard his pupils were already dilated (indicating brain death) when medical personnel arrived and that the extended extraction time made no difference to his chances of survival.[5] Paletti was the last driver to lose his life in a Formula One car until Elio de Angelis was killed while testing for Brabham at the Circuit Paul Ricard in France in 1986, and was the last fatality at a Formula One race weekend until Roland Ratzenberger at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

Lovely how F1 is fucking around and making smooth starts more difficult with their crazy battery scheme, but at least the cars are safer for impacts now.

Verstappen going for the Triple Crown sort of a deal? Or just going for a WEC push in general?

I would want him at the important races (Le Mans 24h, Daytona 24h, Nurburgring 24h, Spa 24h), if he goes at almost every endurance race it will lose from the novelty and the hype, he will do the races necessary for registration and say how good is my cancerous drink for endurance racing, it kept him awake and focused.

I'd love to see Max do the Bathurst 12 Hour one day, but I guess he won't be able to do that until he retires from F1, on account of it being held just before the F1 season starts.
