The place else would you need to spend your weekend?
This weekend is a giant one for racing. Not solely is Components 1 making its return after a few-week break, this time at Singapore, however IMSA is contesting its annual season finale and NASCAR is heading to Talladega. When you’re a common race fan, that is going to be an excellent weekend for you!
I had an unimaginable time attending Petit Le Mans final 12 months, and I’m truthfully sort of unhappy that I received’t be there this 12 months. A part of final 12 months’s appeal was the truth that the occasion was pushed to November as a result of COVID-19, so the cool climate and fall colours actually made it a spectacular occasion. (In fact, the occasion is contingent on climate taking part in good — so we’ll need to see the way it goes.)
And Talladega is certain to be a must-watch this 12 months, too. After final weekend’s tire-exploding catastrophe at Texas Motor Speedway, it’s going to be fascinating to see how issues fare at a high-speed monitor that’s already identified for inflicting put on and tear on inventory vehicles.
