I'm with Lance Stroll on this one. #F1 is far too technically complex and the 2026 cars are still too long and heavy. Now get off my lawn while I go listen to 'Bring Back V10s' podcast.

It's been 30 years, but I am still grouchy about Tony George and the #IndyCar split. Those Champ Cars were beasts.

Ooof. I had no idea RadarScope supported custom imported color tables. Requires a PRO1 subscription ($10/year) for the feature. Conveniently, RadarScope uses GR2 Analyst's color palette files. Finally RadarScope and AWIPS colors are the same. #meteorology #win

If I may suggest, a fun diversion from doom scrolling. 😍

"The name is a play on the date of June 19th, 1865. On that day, the Union Army made its way into Galveston, TX under the leadership of General Gordon Granger, and he announced to the people of Texas that all enslaved African Americans were free." #Juneteenth

Contemporary #F1 cars have simply grown too large for the classic circuits. Watching them trying to fit through Variante del Rettifilo at Monza is painful. The 2026 spec cars are at least slightly smaller. www.motorsport.com/f1/news/mona...
