Political Correctness and all the "I was abused" publicity, probably.

You know, when I was 12, I thought young women ages 18 through their 20's could look incredibly hot.

Now that I'm 74? My viewpoint hasn't changed...

That's odd because this graph I just made shows that it does taper off for males.

WEC already did it a couple years ago. After all the complaints, when the cars actually hit the track in race 1, no one really seemed to care.

I stopped watching F1 more then 10 years ago, Who cares about that crap anyway.. What are they running these days? 4 bangers? ffs that's only 4 bangs away from Formula E..

I once , by accident saw that F-E nonsenses on TV.
It took me a good 5 minutes to figure out wtf was happening.

I mean, It's not watchable, so who watches that crap?? Why is it on TV?
And if nobody watches it, who pays for it? what sponsor gives money away for a non watchable event? To be honest, I can't even remember 1 single sponsor name on any of those cars... or any of the drivers, or where that stuff happened.

It feels like having some kind of dementia to watch that crap, so many questions, such confusion.. No answers..


What are they going to come up with next? PC PR0N??

You know what car I get as a loaner from the body shop when my company bimmer is in for hail damage removal, right. a Skoda.

It get's you from A to B in the cheapest most boring fashion.

Another good rant. He's on a roll! Although the reality is today's WRC cars are far quicker than Group B, just not as spectacular a show. I guess the same can be said of F1, WEC, etc.
