I’m Jon, 1987-aged, born and raised in Georgia, left for 15 yrs, came back, married a rabbi, got some kids, cats and chickens, and in the past couple years, I have become about as obsessed with motor racing as it is possible to be.

On here to post about racing and befriend people who do so as well.
I think resisting this has been my first true Dad Move of my career, but I have finally faced my patterns and emerged as who I really am
I don’t even know if I’m kidding or not
I have actually watched KPop Demon Hunters now, and I think it might actually be my favorite movie
Gah, fuck, I’ve been got
I bet it sounds like

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHH
Oh god, I forgot they were getting a bigger car
Piastri winning in Mexico would be pretty epic
Hopefully at some point the Monaco ePrix will replace the Monaco Grand Prix as the world’s most prestigious street race, and then choosing a single-seater series will just be a matter of specialty
Right, a lot of factors are getting mixed up here tangentially to my initial point, but also that’s kind of reflective of the era change in FE. The star veterans in FE (+ hypercar) now are just great drivers who took a FE job for the pay, but they have thus improved outcomes for these new F2 guys.
Oh I was really only thinking about active IndyCar and FE drivers who take occasional third seats in prototypes
Ah good point, but also supporting the original argument
I bet that’s changing as more F2 drivers talk to FE drivers and find out how much they’re getting paid
Another way of looking at this is, Formula E is at least as good a source of prototype drivers as, say, IndyCar
Well, assuming his form doesn’t collapse, of course. Assuming he improves at a normal experience rate.
Yeah I mean I would say FE has not been at this level long enough to *see* the after, but I am sure Dan Ticktum will have a job racing as long as he wants now, and I don’t think that could have happened a different way
Pepe Marti was the guy who inspired this post, his new teammate Dan Ticktum is the proven example that leaps to mind, Felipe Drugovich is going to be a different kind of good example since he had a serious crack at sports cars first
Don’t look now but this weekend is kind of a banger race weekend
I definitely mean the former, and I wish more people were broad enough racing fans to look at it that way. My contention is that a racing driver becomes a bigger deal, a hotter commodity, making that move. They’re more valuable both during and after their Formula E tenure.
Yeah I feel similarly
God this slaps

They should watch even a single race sometime
