According to F1, Andretti would not bring value to F1.
Does Visa CashCow RB bring value?

25 years ago, I designed these pit crew helmets
@McLaren
in a day. Based on a Carrera Ski helmet, we needed a chin to supress noise for the microphones, but be lighter than a full crash helmet. Ended up being used for over a decade

@EA
No it didn't
Nothing compared to Blackbox games like UG (16m), UG2, Most Wanted (17m+) ProStreet and Carbon (16m) , but then EA shut that one down as well thinking Ghost and Criteron could do a better job.

Thanks!
@formulaesource
how the hell does Ticktum have a drive? Again & again, such the team player.
Unbelievable. Feel sorry for the staff at Nio who work their arses off to be then treated like this.
Seems to forget a race driver is quite the privileged job.
what is it with spots and leopards?
Lucky to have a few cars in today's

Massive thanks to all the teams, drivers and partners for the opportunities. Always massively appreciated.

concepts retain the stripes from the full season livery, but with some variation.
The Hippy design shows you could potentially loose stripes and retain look. In reality, there could be issues with a Gulf design on a 963.... contd…
Few designers are releasing some coloring sheets for kids, young & old to keep them occupied. Check out

for some Indycars.
Here is my first one, a conversion of any old file, with

Such a visionary, re-energizing so much in motorsport and Car Culture. Thoughts and condolences to his friends and his family, Lucy and his kids.

Quite a few peple have enquired about the

100ish cars across WeatherTech & Michelin Pilot so lots to draw.
Thanks to the teams who have sent art.

Rather than do the trad’central Lola stripe, wanted to do something different but retain a slight retro feel, given the Lola Heritage.
Asymmetric color split was perfect for Yamaha, who happened to give me my degree placement

Time and time again,
#IndyCar
shoots itself in the foot with exposure.
Going with another dev with a questionable future as an exclusive is as mad as doing a doc' on a channel few watches (not avail in Canada) in lieu of YT, Netflix, Amazon
Madness, as the racing is awesome.
The sport needs exposure, not this
Whether or not you like iRacing, restricting IndyCar's presence in games is the opposite of what needs to happen. In a world where NASCAR can have official games + an official iRacing series, there is no excuse except for poor contracts

Surely if you win a race and then subsquently caught cheating, you should have the actual win taken away (at the very least, at a Team level) .......
Seems clear cut to me (I appreciate they have lost their points)
