The 919 tribute is a hybrid with a mere 1100 HP and active aerodynamics. Dude went through a chicane at 300 km/h, so you know that shit works as advertised. Former lap record was a Group C Le Mans winner as the circuit is too dangerous for Formula One. Also Porsche (958) at 6:11:13 in 1983. Vroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom ....

Calabasas?

Predicting Brazil - Mexico is going to be a cracker tomorrow.

1 kg bone-in ribeye. Should have bought two.

Gorillaz -- The Now Now Like it, but feels more like a Damon Albarn solo album?

OMG that thing is insanely fast. That's nearly a minute off the previous record! I wonder how they extracted the seat cushion from the driver's asshole afterward? ?

And ... brutal for Denmark. Always a shame to see it go to penalties.

Tough one for Spain. But I could watch Sergio Ramos cry on a loop for hours. Twat.

Happy Birthday! May the market go higher and the wine inventory lower!

Never a bad thing. Might follow suit tonight!

Uruguay were the better team in my opinion. They know who they are and what their plan is -- stay solid at the back, hit back on the counter. The second goal was so well taken. I hope Cavani is fit to play France, but even so think France will be too good for them. I mean, how do you defend this? t85rs_1.mp4

Great game. Mbappe is lethal and there were a couple of golazos thrown in ...

Pissed. Indescriminate. Indisiscrimitabable? Undescribitabubble? Underbiscuitabewibbile?

More compelling games on the left side of the draw. France v. Argentina could be a final. Going to go with Belgium/Uruguay for the semis along with Croatia/England. Contrarian view.

Speedies just don't speak to me. I know, I know, I'm a bad person.

Another good read. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/romelu-lukaku-ive-got-some-things-to-say

Considerate of the Germans to come up with the word "schadenfreude" to perfectly describe what the rest of the footballing world is feeling right now.

Yo La Tengo -- Electr-o-Pura

Interesting read. As Terry Pratchett once observed: “The thing about football — the important thing about football — is that it is not just about football.” https://africasacountry.com/2018/06/ghetto-defendants-race-class-and-the-french-national-team

Beautiful!

They are pretty small by comparison to a modern race car, but not at all flimsy -- built like tanks under the skin. Know I posted about it maybe a year back, but this reminds me again of when I got to see maybe my favorite car ever taken out for one of its few drives a year at the Brooklands Museum. http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/01/napier-railton-car-feature/

Yeah, let's just take a moment to contemplate Trump in perpetuity.

Germany were very, very fortunate but will not win the World Cup with that laughable defense. Belgium is my pick on current form. The team is stacked and they finally seem to have both a competent manager and good spirit in the dressing room.

100% agree. Wish they’d just used white gold applied hour markers on all the dials, but Rolex knows what they’re about I suppose. [emoji6]
