Did you know that Walcrap doesn't sell long underwear in Florida?
We went to Disney one winter in February. It was 0 degrees F when we got on the plane and my children left their winter parkas in the car at the airport against my recommendations. I, on the other hand kept my winter coat on including my long underwear and was toasty warm. In Florida, it was record cold all week dropping below freezing several nights and barely reaching the 50s during the day. Disney seemed empty with the lines starting at the "1 hour wait from here" signs. Blizzard Beach was exceptionally empty with only some 100 or so foolish kids from the far north finding the cold daytime temps balmy (no lines whatsoever).
I only watched the first and last hour of the Rolex 24 on Peacock TV. I don't really know the teams but I have been looking for video with no luck of the LMP-1 car at the end that damaged its front end and was demonstrating violent (aero) high frequency pitch oscillations. I am guessing that it was the team RLL 24 BMW car?

Yeah, it's not really a thing here. Gotta go further north or order it online.
I think I was fully an adult before I ever knew long underwear was real.

The IMSA Official YouTube page has parts 1-4 (approx 8 hrs each) of the race up now.

Correct, it was the GTP #24 BMW that was bouncing like a Mercedes in Baku.
I found it and I meant, "...demonstrating violent (aero) high frequency pitch oscillations." Probably lucky he didn't flip over backwards.
IMSA.com: Part 4 – 2025 Rolex 24 At Daytona Race Broadcast (5:09:00 / 6:31:01 - (1:00:54 From End))
Edit: The BMW #24 car takes a hit at 5:05:20 and a good slow motion video of the oscillations is at 5:05:30. Watch it at 0.5 or .025 video speed.
I was sad to notice that the long-time broadcast group on IMSA radio has been broken up. Shea Adam and Jeremy Shaw are gone. John Hindaugh remains with a new crew.
Did some Internet sleuthing and saw a post by Jeremy stating he wasn't asked to return this year, and Shea left (at her choice) and may be employed by Mazda now and is working on a documentary or something.
And in gossip-land (the further I went down this rabbit hole), I found that Shea and Sebastien Bourdais are a couple now. I wish them and everyone else the best for the future. I really enjoyed the insight and banter between Adam, Shaw, and Hindaugh that was allowed to grow and flourish over the years.
Yeah, always enjoy hearing Shea. I have never met her but know her dad, Bill. Super-nice guy.
At least she and John are doing the call for the Bathurst 12hr this weekend.
