I'm looking forward to it. Thought Fallen Order was a very enjoyable game, so hope to see more of the same in this one!

Whoa, this must be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen in a race. A car catches fire, the driver manages to stop and get out, the marshalls then try to extinguish the flames, but the car rolls back on track on it's own, without the driver, and then crashes into the barriers and burns down

A sequel to the Fallen Order has been announced!

Well, fuck. That's it for Grello a bit silly to fight so hard for position and bang wheels with over 20 hours on the clock...

Kevin Estre in Grello started from P35, gained eleven positions in the first few laps, then had a contact with another Porsche which damaged his bodywork, got back to the garage for the repairs, and now after 1.5 hour he is leading the race

Another great transfer

I switched to a British stream last year as the American one was unsufferable. Nürburgring 24H race starts at the same time as F1 quali Idiotic scheduling.

Very scary.

Kids these days... When I had group projects at uni, we just used to get drunk together and then do some work on the last night before the deadline

Happy birthday, @CaaC (John)!!!

Bored of what, staying awake? I mean there's plenty of things to do, and simple resting or meditation or whatever are still viable options for winding down and recharging whenever it all gets a bit overwhelming! It would be great, as long as it doesn't automatically mean longer working hours And yes, we spend about one third of our lives sleeping. That's a bit shit.

I mean, I would welcome that if there were no side effects. Imagine all you could do with all that time!

I'm very skeptical that it's an accurate account of what happened to him. It goes against everything we know about the effects of sleep loss/deprivation, and I'm extremely doubtful that a brain injury (especially the frontal lobe, which is not related to sleeping at all) would change that so significantly, either. I could believe the part about him not being able to sleep; there are some diseases that cause it too, but I don't believe he would have been able to live for another 40 years. Maybe he slept 2 hours a day? Maybe he experienced multiple microsleep episodes each day? As @Bluewolf said, it probably got exaggerated over time until it became an urban legend of sorts. If the story is true after all, then he indeed was a medical oddity. It's a pity that more data is not available; neuroscientists would have a field day...

Look, there's Shut Up in the crowd, too...

@Rucksackfranzose spitting truth bombs.

Wrong thread. Everytime I see something posting in the Motorsports thread, I get excited, and then it turns out to be the same F1 stuff again

Nürburgring 24h, Monaco GP and Indy 500 are all happening this weekend. A feast for all racing fans, but I'll never understand why they schedule it like that.

Another good reason to support de-extinction efforts...

John Favreau, dinosaurs, and David Attenborough. What more can one possibly want... Premiering today.

Finished Nemesis Games last night, now onto the Book 6 in the series... Only shows how rushed and below par Season 6 of the TV series was...

Never going to happen then

Scenes!

Have literally never been in such a state

I'll bring the whisky!

Alien hackers It could be some sort of malfunctioning, but I hope it stumbled upon some unexpected, unknown scientific phenomenon in space. My all time favourite space mission; would be great if after 45 years of operating and giving us an immense amount of data and new discoveries, it still finds something that breaks our current knowledge...
