And I know Rudy Fugle was on Sirius and talked about this.

I thought kudos to Matt Weaver, wrote a story on motorsport.com where he brought in a variety of different viewpoints on this topic.

And Rudy's was one of them.

And you don't want to take away performance, but also because of having to want to your car to last a little bit longer.

We're going to wrap this up.

Um, yeah, we just gone fly racing racer X podcast, Maxis rent, all, uh, race tech motorsport.com on X maps on with us.

Thanks to Jason.

Why again? Thanks to JT.

So she could get a headstart on uploading them before, you know, like while I go got went and got other ones, but she had a little bit of stuff going on with her motorsport obligations.

Cause she also writes for does stuff for motorsport.com.

So in that moment, I decided it's like, all right, I'm going to, I'm going to go to Carson host of our, and on the way there, I'm going to fire this tweet up real quick because this needs to get out now.

Yeah.

So they will test the other two members of their 2027 lineup.

Curiously, there was a mention in Motorsport.com that apparently Jorge Martin also made the request to Aprilia to test the 850 bike and was also, I believe, told to jog on.

So I understand the request.

It's...

But, all right, yeah, we got the randomizer going for prizes.

Grill Your Ass Off Seasoning Kit, $25 Motorsport.com gift card, and our jerky prize package.

First up, our jerky prize package.

This is out of all the Championship League users.

We have

Corey Brinkmeyer and Motorsport.com gift card, XG Rider 106 Grill Your Ass Off Seasoning Packet.

Nikki 11.

We'll be in touch.

And you go into this race, and I think that people were excited.

And Friday morning, you pull up Motorsport.com or Planet F1 or F1.com or Sky News or BBC or wherever you get your F1 news, and it seems pretty good.

Like, hey, those Ferraris look pretty darn good in FP1.

But really practice, you know, as Allen Iverson would always say, or would always say one time at a press conference, it's like, practice, we're talking about practice, we're talking about practice, however it goes.

Drivers with fewer than 12 Indy next starts may also be considered.

So thank you Motorsport.com for breaking this down because this is very confusing.

So basically, if you win the championship or you're in the top three or have won two races in 24 months, you are competitively qualified to go into IndyCar.

If you have never won a race and you're 10th in the standing, you are evaluation eligible.

And they'll never do anything that compromises that.

And I think, honestly, maybe the last time we saw a truly investigative process um investigative work was was back in the late 2000s around maybe crash gate to some extent but um ultimately that massive scandal between mclaren and ferrari where you had intellectual property being shifted like we just don't see any level of investigative journalism like that and on the one hand i think it's because the fia and fom and the teams specifically nurture that type of climate like hey know what we're going to be very selective we're only going to give credentials to those that are friendly to us and and i think that's part of it and then i think the other part is just the way that those those publications that cover f1 monetize the work right like if you go to motorsport.com and we reference their work all the time nine times out of ten mark like a big article on the front page of motorsport.com would be Lewis Hamilton's thoughts on what caused a bad Sector 3 during FP2 at Imola.

Like, that is the type of story they lead with.

And it's a title that is based on a story that is predicated on one comment from one media pen session, and then they just blow past it.
