LA Coliseum was awful. Props for the idea, but it was a bad one.

Re: 2022 Motorsports Thread
Edited my last post. I watched LA. I like short tracks, but that was too short. Cars do look good.

Re: 2022 Motorsports Thread
And having an ‘intermiision’ so they could have Ice T sing a few songs. NASCAR with gangsta rap. WTF?

Re: 2022 Motorsports Thread
The intermission wasn't an excuse to have Ice T. It's a common thing at short track races, which the Coliseum race was.
Of course, there aren't that many paved short track courses anymore; they're mainly dirt courses, which NASCAR has almost completely written off the schedule for a long time at the highest level.

Re: 2022 Motorsports Thread
Actually, there are never intermissions during regular NASCAR Cup races for entertainers. They did one for this exhibition race, which is the first intermission I've ever seen in a NASCAR Cup race in roughly 45 years of watching. And of course, it was expressly for Ice T's performance.SuperHornet wrote: ↑Sun Feb 20, 2022 12:58 pm

Re: 2022 Motorsports Thread
Technically, there was an "intermission" of sorts last year. At the Food City Dirt Race, they staged four heats the day before the "main event," and overnight served as the "intermission." It would have been more fun had they done it like SRX did last year, with inverted track order heats leading up to a main event after a same-day intermission. They do it like that at low-level NASCAR/ARCA tracks, and it would be neat to see that at national-level NASCAR events....

Haas has fired Soviet driver Nikita Mazepin and ended a sponsorship agreement with a Soviet fertilizer company owned by Mazepin's father. FIA had ruled that he could continue to drive so long as he did so under a neutral flag and promoted peace, but Haas fired him anyway.

2022 bold predictions: I'm thinking Ferrari dominates the first 3-4 races (after all, they quit 2021 before it started to focus on this new platform for 2022), Red Bull is steady throughout the season, and Mercedes dominates the second half of the season. Hamilton gets the 8th championship that was stolen from him by Masi, cements his GOAT status, and retires.

It's nice for someone not named Hamilton to be defending a title. I'd really love to see a fight break out with Ferrari taking more and more podiums.

Re: 2022 Motorsports Thread
Interesting that you'd be a Mercedes but not a Hamilton fan, as he's been a driver with them for all but three of the years that they've been a constructor in the modern era of F1.
