Racer Finally Invents Waterproof Racing Shoes
Racer Finally Invents Waterproof Racing Shoes-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:41

There’s nothing worse than wet shoes in a race car. It’s the reason why you see racers dangling their feet out of the car asking if someone can squeegee off the bottoms before a wet race. Wet shoes are miserable. Fortunately, Pirelli World Challenge racer Kévin Estre has this problem figured out.

Genius.

The series is waiting until 11:00 AM to decide if they’re racing on the wet Belle Isle Grand Prix course today. While the rain in Detroit isn’t particularly heavy, it is a street course, and street courses tend to have poor drainage.

Race 11 has been cancelled due to the wet conditions.

The Best Thing About the Nürburgring is the Good Liveries
I’m just coming down from the high that was my weekend at the Nurburgring 24 hour race, and the one thing that I can’t get over is the quantity and quality of livery that turned out for racing. With vintage races and WTCR supporting the N24 itself, there were...

Watch a Driver Blast Past the Safety Car On Track Because He Is Extremely On Fire
When a race car catches on fire, most people stop, hop out, and hope the fire truck can get there fast enough to prevent totaling the car. But not Calum Lockie. Lockie passes the pace car, with a literal fire under his ass, and takes the car to the fire...

If Angels Were F1 Cars This Is How They'd Sing
The was the last F1 car to run a V10 engine. While reading firsthand accounts of its soul-stirring shriek is fun, listening to it in this video clip might be the next-best thing to witnessing it in person. As writes, the Toro Rosso team “took advantage of a concession”...

NASCAR Delayed Reviving Sonoma's Carousel Because It Needed a Place to Store Its Junk
NASCAR Delayed Reviving Sonoma's Carousel Because It Needed a Place to Store Its Junk
The carousel turn at is, like a carousel at the carnival, a nice feature that makes everyone smile. Also like the kind at a carnival, the carousel is highly trafficked—by racing series, track-day schools and more. But stopped using it in 1998, and took more than 20 years to...
