I think “Fuji Speedway only wasn’t an oval because of money problems” should be up there with “the Mazda 787B was just too fast and fuel-thrifty for anyone to compete with” on the scale of Racing Untruths That Get Circulated Every Now And Then

It was great to be back at Suzuka for the first time in seven years. As I start my journey home, I’d have to say the last three weeks were pretty alright!

Nobody has posted a 2004 Mazda ad for the US market which I vividly remember: it was about the 787B and it specifically included an inference to the one myth that everyone knows about the 787B. From the same period as the one posted below 😂 youtu.be/ruw1MKIou_8

発表 ANNOUNCEMENT! I’m coming back to do color commentary for RACER Network/RACER+’s North American #SUPERGT broadcast! I had a lot of fun doing this last time during the Fuji 3 Hours, Suzuka will surely be as good if not better. I’ll do my best!

some say this has been the most farcical decision in sports. something so unfair to the competition and a complete mockery of the established rules. a stain on the league. yet, others say adding Jeff Gordon as the 13th driver of the 2013 nascar chase for the sprint cup was the right thing to do

10 years ago I lamented that Ryo Hirakawa’s Toyota backing meant that his door to F1 was shut. Things have changed obviously, but for all the chatter about him getting a full-time race seat I see so few scenarios where it doesn’t go really bad for a driver who, let’s not forget, turns 33 in March.
