Well, you’ll know what it is now and if you don’t, check back later for updates!

Denim Dream 👖💙
The final one-off livery of 2026 for the #69 FIA WEC LMGT3 entry takes inspiration from the iconic 1980s ‘Denim’ BMW M1 Procar that raced in Monaco.

Now, this is not normal... the @Delta flight #DAL4 / #DL4 from @HeathrowAirport London to New York JFK has descended to 24,000 feet crossing the Atlantic
Normal flight level for crossing the Atlantic is roghly between 31,000 - 39,000 feet

Congratulations to Osian Pryce, 2026 British Rally Champion!
This sketch is from when he took part in the JWRC, & was trying to raise funds to enter Rally GB. I drew it so he could auction it off & add to the fund. Sadly, he withdrew his entry but was good enough to buy this 😊
As discussed on MWM now officual
📣 OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.) and Saudi Motorsport Company (SMC) have jointly decided that Dakar Saudi Arabia 2027, scheduled from 1 to 15 January 2027, will not be held in the Kingdom, following recent developments in the region.
This decision is exceptional and one-off and was taken in close coordination with the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation (SAMF), and with the support of the FIA and the FIM.

Both organisations are already working together to make this milestone an exceptional moment for the Dakar and for the Kingdom, with a shared commitment to once again deliver an iconic and world-class event to the highest of standards.
Since 2020, Saudi Arabia has hosted seven consecutive editions of Dakar, welcoming competitors from around the world on routes that showcased the Kingdom’s remarkable geographical diversity. These editions have made Saudi Arabia an integral part of the Dakar community and established a strong, long-term strategic partnership between A.S.O., SMC and SAMF. All three organisations reaffirm their commitment to continuing their cooperation, developing motorsport in the Kingdom and delivering outstanding experiences for competitors, teams and fans.

Bloody hell, Phillip Island. You really know how to break a bloke’s heart. Pretty gutted to be honest. My last home MotoGP race and we didn’t even get to race. After such a strong weekend, it’s a tough one to swallow. 1/4
somehow appropriate that a veil of tears prevented the final @MotoGP race @PICircuit
There will always be one race remaining.

Saddened to hear about the passing of former Lola engineer, Duncan McRobbie recently. He will be remembered as a real driving force behind many 80s and 90s Lola designs, particular in F3000 from 1985 to early 2000s. Gentle, interesting man. Thoughts with his family. #Motorsport
Well done @Tim__gray spot on with the Barcelona event on MWM on Wednesday....
well, for years I thought this was all mostly done in post production...
@radiolemans was correct all along...
2005 stellte Sony in San Francisco offenbar die einzig vernünftige Frage, die man sich beim Bewerben neuer Fernseher stellen kann:
„Was wäre, wenn wir 250.000 bunte Gummibälle einen Berg hinunterhüpfen?“
Und dann taten sie es einfach.
Eine Viertelmillion echte Flummis, zwölf gesperrte Straßen und ein Team, das vermutlich sehr schnell bereute, im Vertrag nicht nach einer Gefahrenzulage gefragt zu haben.
Für den legendären Werbespot „Balls“ kaufte die Produktion angeblich praktisch jeden verfügbaren Gummiball westlich des Mississippi auf. In amerikanischen Kaugummiautomaten herrschte daraufhin für eine Weile vermutlich jene trostlose Leer.
Damit die Bälle nicht bloß bergab kullerten, baute das Effektteam gewaltige Druckluftkanonen.
Und wie es funktionierte.
Die Flummis erreichten Berichten zufolge Geschwindigkeiten von über 160 km/h. Das Kamerateam trug Schutzkleidung, Helme und benutzte teilweise Schutzschilde.
Beim ersten Abschuss verwandelte sich die Straße in ein kontrolliertes Experiment zur Chaostheorie. Bälle flogen über Häuser, sprangen einen ganzen Häuserblock wieder bergauf und landeten in Abflüssen, die eigentlich weit außerhalb der berechneten Flugzone lagen.
24 eigens bereitgestellte Autos und sechs Häuser wurden beschädigt; allein kaputte Fenster sollen rund 74.000 Dollar gekostet haben. Ein Crewmitglied sah später beim Einchecken ins Hotel – mehrere Meilen vom Drehort entfernt – noch einen einzelnen Gummiball über den Bürgersteig hüpfen.
Nach jedem Take begann die eigentliche Heldentat: das Einsammeln von 250.000 Flummis an den steilsten Straßen San Franciscos. Dafür gab es besondere Schaufeln, Netze und sogenannte „Ball Wranglers“.
Noch Jahre später sollen Anwohner einzelne Bälle in Dachrinnen und Abflüssen gefunden haben. Manche bewahrten sie als Souvenir auf. Damit ist der Spot vermutlich die einzige Werbekampagne, deren Requisiten zwei Jahrzehnte später noch selbstständig in Garagen auftauchen.
Das Ergebnis war aber eine der schönsten Werbungen der 2000er: eine unwirkliche Lawine aus Farbe, gefilmt in Zeitlupe und begleitet von José González’ „Heartbeats“. 🔴🟡🟢🔵

Ending my #MondayDoodle series means I’ll be able to create more #CircuitRacer pencil drawings, alongside my commissioned works!
I’m always looking for new ideas and these pieces can be commissioned. Also, if you’re a #trackday demon, why not ask me to draw your car on track?

🏁 Every lap has a story. Now, yours can be part of one.
In two weeks' time, the Race of Remembrance will bring people together at Anglesey Circuit to remember, reflect and pay tribute. Now, there’s a way to leave your own mark on the track.
Another early start for me...

@specutainment @radiolemans #MWM listening to podcast and the @McLarenAuto situation really got to me, If any of us bought it, which direction would you take it, i would lock up engineers tell them to come up with a #Garage56 vehicle lineup in this transitional period.
