Pro Drivers: How the F did Hamilton do that?
Twitter Drivers: Engine bra. All engine.
Hamilton, what a legend! Disqualified, gained 15 places in yesterday sprint race, 5 places grid penalty and a master driver today …! GOAT

An eSports contract I've just reviewed:
"Sign a 2y, exclusive contact and we will pay you exactly $0 but give you free gear. We take 10% of your winnings and if you don't win $ you have to refund us a % of the travel expenses from the event."
Disgusting.

Advice I got: “Don’t do daily racing for ACC, no one will be interested.”
I ignored that advice. Now 2.5 months later: 600 daily active users and full capacity race servers. We can’t keep up with demand.
I think we gonna continue with this idea 😎

Driving a GTE is so much fun. It’s strange how similar this car is mechanically to a GT3, but feels SO different. Light, responsive, stable in high speed.
Will be sad when officials (likely) retire this class of car in a few years. Huge privilege to be able to drive one.
