Blood clots in the lungs, too dangerous to risk sleeping, and yet they let him suit up in a full contact sport where major injuries are rampant. Every single part of this is horrifying.

#Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs, has been undergoing tests for days. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played without having slept.

An AI generated image preaching about nostalgia followed by a push towards a gambling ad. 😶

No £80 replica shirts. No phones filming every second. No marketing telling you how special it all was. Nobody flying in from Singapore after paying £700 for a ticket. Just lads getting there hours early and queuing forever at the turnstiles. Cold hands, muddy terraces, and all that mattered was bagging your spot on the wall. Football when it was simple. 👏🏻👏🏻

Tonight, Lake Michigan is going to have waves taller than a house. Up to 20 feet out in the middle, and a few could hit 23.

So much great stuff in this update. The new UI and backend stuff looks great, the Super Tourers continue to be some of the best content in sim racing, and the Group 2 class with the NSU, Sirocco, Mini and Abarth 1000 gives the two existing cars some much needed playmates!

Tom Chilton retired, so they're literally going for his regen - a well funded teenager who debuted in the BTCC before he even had a road car license. 2002, all over again.

Very occasionally, it feels like the Raceroom devs have a picture of me on their desk and go "let's make that guy an update". This update is one of those occasions. The platform is my go-to Historic Touring Car sim, and I hope this content does well enough to justify more.

1 - Matt Neal accidentally leaking someone testing the Excelr8 Hyundai in the background. 2 - That FK2 is now a classic Touring Car in it's own right, and that genuinely scares me. Team Dynamics have an amazing back catalogue of cars, glad to see some being brought out to play.

over the hill is everything I hoped it would be, "just one more kilometer" is very real. It's a joy to play, the vibes are perfect, and I just want more of it.

Those TWR Jags always stood out as a kid watching clips of them on various Motorsport complication VHS tapes. Quite possibly the greatest racing cars ever built?

Seeing Makinen on a Subaru will never not look wrong, even all these years later. What a machine though, 2003 I do think was peak WRC car of those iconic early generation designs but with some great looking aero bits.
Prodrive
@prodriveOct 14
A familiar face has rolled back through the doors of Prodrive. This Subaru Impreza WRC'03, campaigned by Tommi Mäkinen & Kaj Lindström, is in with the Prodrive Legends team for inspection, arriving with period documents and plenty of stories to tell. Every Prodrive-built car has a history that starts in Banbury, before they end up around the world. Yet much of the knowledge, designs and expertise behind them is still here. Twenty-three years on, it's good to see this one back where it all began. #WorkshopWednesday #ProdriveLegends #TommiMakinen #HistoricMotorsport #RallyHeritage #MotorsportHeritage #Preservation
