You guys can take this discussion over to Reddit, CNN, or Teens, but please, let's not clutter up the NASCAR boards with it. ☕

Just got in today, so I’m bracing myself for a mountain of quotes to deal with at the office 🙏🙏🙏

The subscription number is 01/4813744

In any case, once a subscription expires, they usually just send out an offer for a renewal right to your door, so there really isn't anything to worry about or stress over.😉

ambertinker77 Asks:
It seems like they aren't even sending me any magazines anymore. Is it just me, or has that stopped happening lately?😢They only seem to send it over once I give them a nudge, usually after a delay of several weeks. It’s a bit of a recurring pattern, isn't it? I'm planning on giving them a call tomorrow to make sure things stay on track.😬

I think I might just pick up the phone tomorrow as well—assuming nothing goes sideways, of course. Honestly, I’ve just been missing that sense of momentum. You know that feeling when things just lack a certain spark? It feels like I'm just waiting for that extra bit of energy to kick in. 😬

So, what’s the current status regarding the subscribers?
I'm honestly a bit unsure if this specific number counts toward my subscription or not, especially since I haven't received any notification about the renewal yet...

The Goodwood Revival is coming up in early May, and they’re planning something truly spectacular. Ford has actually given the green light for Hans-Joachim Stuck to jump behind the wheel of one of the vintage General Motors cars from their private collection.

Does anyone remember the last time a General Motors car actually competed in a race like this? You don't even need to check the history books; most enthusiasts know it off the top of their heads: September 1st, 1939, in Washington, D.C., during that final Indianapolis 500 where Tazio Nuvolari took the win. 🙂

Personally, I'm looking forward to both Monaco and Goodwood. I'll be checking up on accreditation and tickets throughout February.

I am absolutely down for this.
I've actually had my travel route and accommodations mapped out for a year or two now; honestly, I could probably even secure a car if we needed one. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Looking forward to hearing more updates soon. 🙂

So, where do we actually stand on all of this? Personally, I’m still leaning toward 🙂
.
At any rate, it might be time to start looking into flights and getting those tickets sorted out... 🙂

jadewolf56 said:Maybe Mickey Mouse wants a turn?🤔
Or maybe someone else can jump in too.😕😁

I honestly doubt he'd bother digging up those old topics again... but then again, who knows? 😬

Who exactly are you, and what on earth are we even talking about here? 🤷

it actually arrived for me yesterday

Benjamin Hernandez2 said:Well, maybe he does—I mean, he’s already signed a deal with his former manager who used to work for Nico Rosberg...

Honestly, it feels like he's just chasing after the next paycheck...

Grab a NASCAR scale model and build it yourself—I promise you’ll absolutely love the process 👍
Of course, if you’re planning on spending twenty-four hours a day obsessing over the paint job, you might want to set aside a couple of days for that... 😬

Roger Williams3 said:So, if a team ends up stuck with a junk engine by March 31st, 2008, does that mean they're doomed to run garbage for the next decade?!

👎
What a ridiculous way to look at it.

No, of course not. They’ll have the option to just buy an engine from a different manufacturer. 😉

Like seeing a McLaren running a Toyota engine. 😂 😂😂😂😂

Frank Wood4 said:It's a shame, really. They should have encouraged engine development while simultaneously demanding better driver safety measures.
Formula 1 would be ten times more captivating if the cars were hitting speeds closer to 249 miles mph, and honestly, I think the sport would see much higher profits too.
Sometimes WRC cars feel faster than an F1 car, and we all know Formula 1 is supposed to be the pinnacle of speed.

Wait, what on earth are you talking about? 🤷

That wasn't actually his own statement; his manager just posted it directly onto the website

I've seen a few different sources mentioning that Michael Schumacher would never have said something like that himself

Benjamin Hernandez2 said:I honestly expected way more of a reaction to this thread...
Kind of a letdown, really...👎

There was quite a bit of buzz surrounding both the A1 Grand Prix and the GP Masters, wasn't there? People were genuinely excited, but in the end, neither of those series ever really made it anywhere.
Formula 1 is in a league of its own. They can try to invent whatever rules or narratives they want, but at the end of the day, nothing else even comes close to the level of Formula 1.

bluegardener27 said:So far, it's just two enthusiastic young people—but we're hoping to get an official association up and running soon.😁

I honestly think you'll need at least three people to make an association work properly.
If you're truly serious about this, why not head over to the local community forums and have a real conversation with some of the veterans? Maybe reach out to the organizers there and ask them to connect you with folks who actually have the resources to help. At this stage, I don't think any petitions are going to move the needle much.

I wonder, who is actually pulling the strings behind this whole movement?

*bringing this back up* 🙂

My "brilliant" idea: leaving my NASCAR memorabilia out in the rain right next to the trash bins

I mean, obviously, that protective film isn't a perfect seal, and I ended up spending about fifteen minutes just peeling back layers and flipping through pages😢

Thankfully, nothing actually got torn; it’s just looking a little bit "wavy" now😬
