Between them that's 16 tracks, which is two-thirds (66.666....%) of the 2024 calendar. If you add Charles (Australia, Azerbaijan, Austin), you're up to 80%.

Not for any particular reason, just pointing it out.

(These are only the official track records as found on Formula One's website. I know that *actual* lap records are different.)

Porsche EV beats a 911 Turbo S around an Formula 1 racetrack

This month, Porsche set a new lap record at Interlagos in a 911 GT2 RS MR. Besides the lap record for gas-powered production cars, Porsche now holds the EV lap record at the famous Brazilian racetrack as well. Brazilian ace driver Felipe Nasr recently set a new benchmark time for EVs at Interlagos. He took a Taycan Turbo GT around the twisty circuit in 1 min 42.1 second, beating the time set by…

The acceleration in this car is absolute ridiculous. I think they can go sub 7:00 with a few more attempts. Great work by the Rimac team!

Okay I had a reference photo I’ve been dying to use but didn’t know who it fit best and had an epiphany. If you want to see the reference photo it’ll be under the keep reading.

you ever think about how andrew's freak out after neil got kidnapped wasn't about the deal they made? andrew was FREAKING the fuck out and he didn't even stop to think about why. it wasn't because he had broken his promise and it wasn't because neil wasn't around to keep his, no, it was because it was NEIL. and despite everything, andrew CARES. he CARES about NEIL MF JOSTEN. he couldn't even excuse it by saying it was about the deal, because neil broke it off. he couldn't hide behind the promise he made, because neil made him break it, so it isn't about andrew, or the promise or the deal, it's about neil.

Czinger 21C beats Koenigsegg Jesko's Laguna Seca lap record by a whisker

Last month, the Koenigsegg Jesko set a new lap record at the Laguna Seca racetrack in California. The hypercar lapped the circuit in 1 min 24.86 seconds, beating the previous best time set by the Czinger 21C.  A couple of weeks have passed since the record was broken and the US-based hypercar maker has already reclaimed the crown. The Czinger 21C was back at Laguna Seca recently with the sole aim…

The sweater says "collects comic books" and the face says "collects phone numbers"

The Guardian Weekend (2006)

Transcript:

Hi, I'm David-in-my-pants," says the very boyish, handsome 34-year-old striding towards me, arm extended, wearing, as promised, his underpants. Perhaps the train journey from London to Cardiff was worth it after all.

"I just don't have the courage of my convictions about my fashion decisions-I think I need some guidance there," he adds in his charming Scottish accent, his eyes all characteristically puppyish and pleading. Yes, the trip is definitely worth it so far.

This fashion insecurity is a bit surprising, though, seeing as it comes from David Tennant, the tenth and latest Dr Who (he's in Cardiff filming the newseries) and, according to the Pink Paper, "the sexiest man in the universe" (Tennant claimed, sweetly, that he was "somewhat surprised" by that accolade.)

When playing the title role in the BBC's widely acclaimed Casanova, Tennant wore flouncy blouses with aplomb; and his outfit for Dr Who English tweeds paired with scruffy Converse - has already received plaudits from the fashion press. "It's not a million miles from what I usually wear," he says, "so I now have to be careful if people see me out and about looking too much like Dr. Who, that would be pretty naff."

The Converse were inspired by Tennant himself - he's been devoted to the brand for more than 20 years - so when I tell him that David Cameron wears them, too, he reels back into the sofa, aghast "No!" he whispers. "You`ve just ruined them for me.

He insists that becoming a recognised face has not changed his style, but has made him more conscious that he shouldn't wear something more than once because people comment on it. This, naturally, means constant wardrobe updates, which rather goes against a Presbyterian upbringing "that would never permit any conspicuous consumption."

Tennant's teenage years were a swamp of fashion mistakes, he says, citing in particular a pink jumper that we wore for years until someone told him that it was, well, terrible. And at 15 he sported a paisley shirt, skinny tie and cropped jacket combo that "properly expressed myself" - unfortunately, his tracksuit-wearing peers disagreed and punched him in the face. "Yeah, that didn't work out too well."

He is, he says repeatedly, not a shopper. "I do that typical male thing of finding one thing and doing it to death, like Paul Smith suits." He recently discovered H&M, he adds, enunciating each of the letters carefully, as if tentatively speaking in a new language. "Plain T-shirts for only a tuppence."

Yet despite all of this he seems at ease during the shoot. He particularly likes a tan jumper, which prompts him to stroke his hands over his chest in a most distracting manner. "I love this - what is it?"

Burberry, comes the answer.
