Not quite, but almost. Quote Speaking after the race, Chastain said the move had been in his mind, having first seen his brother Chad try it while playing the NASCAR 2005 video game. “I played a lot of NASCAR 2005 on the GameCube with Chad [who is also a racer] growing up,” Chastain told NBC. “You can get away with it [on the game] and I never knew if it would actually work [in real life]. I did that when I was eight years old. “It flashed back in my head on the white flag [last lap]. If it wrecks, OK, we don’t make it. It might not work, but I’ll try it.” 1 Quote

nudge Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Finally! The entry list is revealed, and it looks spectacular. 13 Hypercars, 11 LMP2s, 14 LMGTE AMs. Very strong turnout, considering it's the breakthrough season for the top class, and even more manufacturers (and customers) will be joining next year. Hypercars: LMP2: LMGTE AM: Full entry list: Jacques Villeneuve still racing full-time at 51 1 Quote

The name Christian Ried didn't sound familiar at first, but I've definitely seen him before. And Michelle Gatting because I was curious about the only woman (unless I've missed another one) on the grid. Quite an interesting career with lots of different racing series. Quote

Yes you did, that team has an all-female lineup, hence the name "Iron Dames" 1 Quote
