Very very troubling. So much of my brand loyalty is the close ties to motorsports.

I saw the article this morning, What a shame. Personally, I enjoy watching mix field series a lot better than single car series (GT3 Cup, Ferrari Challenge, etc).

I'm sure many more teams will follow suit in the weeks/months to come. Very sad, but racing is just marketing for most and line items are being crossed out in many budgets.

Unfortunately this may be a harbinger of things to come. The future will be determined by how rapidly the world can return to a pre-COVID status through successful vaccination and subsequent economic recovery.

Very sad, the racing has always pushed the developments for the street cars, wonder if R&D is now going to have a tighter budget.

Sad and Confused. Will there still be two FIA RSRs at LeMans?

Man this sucks.

We were with friends on New Years and one of them asked me what I would recommend he invest in, and I gave the same answer that I have for the last couple of years. Firearms.

And it was the excitement of IMSA that got me into the seat of a GT car, and then subsequent purchase of several Porsche’s.
