Hey it's Monaco week that's an excuse to post my favourite FRECA moment of all time right?

Dear Formula E I think it would be positive for you if you actually upload the freaking Monaco races to your website like you _say_ you always do a week after they happen (it's now been three) since then I could do a "hey F1 fans wouldn't it be wild if cars could overtake at Monaco oh snap" post.

Do Viola Racing have a slightly larger car with a bit deeper engine note?

Hmm, this looks like it'll be the first race to use all six of Pirelli's F1 tyre compounds simultaneously... Or maybe more than one company can have a C1 through a C6. Nah, that sounds silly.

Having read Bozi on this, what I'm now reminded of is Antonio Felix da Costa's illegal throttle pedal spring, which Porsche said did a full season before tech inspection noticed it was the wrong spec... Or in other words no it isn't just IndyCar. Though I guess FE's wasn't on the outside at least?

This is interesting, but the fact that I can't immediately figure out what effect calculating BoP based on the best 2/last 3 races rather than the all three would have probably means it's fairly minor. Makes for a more complex algorithim though since now different cars are using different data.

I think this is a first but looks like a sponsorship deal for Sector 2 at Miami

Clearly preparing to drive the Alpine F1 car which is a sensible move on his part at the rate those guys go through drivers

Ferdinand actual Hapsburg has passed his bus license if you were keeping up with which turn of the century dynasties were working in public transport and professional racing

I regret to inform you that due to the level of nonsense one chats on discord due to getting up too early to catch trains we've decided that Geri Horner needs to run as a Bronze in Max's GT3 car. (Our logic is that as she's appeared on DTS she probably ought to do some driving just in case...)

I was thinking about cheating and things sanctioning bodies insisted were cheating in the shower and anyway I've come to the conclusion we should introduce brake steering into Formula E. (Regen on one side only using a third pedal provided there's at least say 20% steering on).

I think there's an interesting disconnect going on between European and American fans about how serious they think cheating scandals are. This sort of thing one really needs motorsport historians on, but I do think the different origins of motorsport on both sides of the Atlantic are relevant here.

Current thoughts re Penske are: "you know, at least Bernie Eccelstone largely drew a sharp line between 'shenanigans pulled as team boss' and 'shenanigans pulled as series owner'

INDYCAR NEWS: The Nos. 2 and 12 cars will start 32nd and 33rd for the Indy 500 after yesterday's tech inspection saga regarding Team Penske's attenuators.

I suppose it's important that Flavio specified the middle one since the last time he ran a team with a young driver from Latin America in it he asked them to do the opposite.
