One of the biggest concerns about the new 2026 rules (which was highlighted a lot in the video you posted a LONG time ago about the changes) was reliability. And that next year would be like 2014 where cars regularly didn't finish races.
Which surfaced on the first day of testing, when under 100 laps were run by the sum of all the teams.
TLDR- 2026 cars are reliable.

Just got back from attending the Rolex 24 at Daytona for the second time.
This time, I only slept for about two hours (with two separate naps), though I should have gone longer when it was obvious the FCY for fog was going to last a long time (six hours, 20 minutes in the end). Last time, I slept four hours. So, I cut my record in half. LOL
Outside of the fog, the weather was amazing. For the second time for me. They should pay me to attend in the future...

This was my first one. Was pretty awesome and really cool experience.
Having only experienced going to races at Indy and Pocono (I won't count Lime Rock), the grandstands at Daytona are like the Taj Mahal and in hindsight make me realize what a dump those other two facilities are. It was like NFL stadium concourse built along a track. Crazy. Got lucky with the weather (fog aside). Was hoping to run into Mike Hull or Scott Dixon but didn't manage to find them... but brushed past Grosjean and Kirkwood early on Saturday morning.

Yes. And I still don't understand how he survived that.

Hearing him tell the story, it doesn’t sound like he does either.

They sound good when muffled by recordings and recording limits. In person they are incredibly painful to hear.

Looks like a McLaren of West livery.

That will only be noticed when they are being passed by the race leader. Otherwise, it's tough to get much coverage in the back.

It won't be for us. We will buy coverage. Dump will threaten tariffs. NBC will buy the F1 rights and show only the two Caddies in a split screen, with Lindsey Vonn and Derek Jeter as drivers, Snoop announcing.
I like tying the team to Apollo. It was either that or the A bomb. Our two contributions to global culture that weren't created by people we enslaved.

Audi would probably try to take partial credit for both of those.
