One solution is to increase the viewing area by moving the driver’s seat back as far as possible while still being able to reach the pedals, and moving the passenger seat forward. Also, adjust your mirrors. There are mir...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:43 GMT

Damian Lillard has said repeatedly that he wants to contend for a championship.

IndyCar driver Simon Pagenaud walked away unharmed from a terrifying wreck during practice at Mid-Ohio on Saturday, when his car from Meyer Shank Racing rolled seven times through a gravel trap before coming to rest on its side.Pagenaud told his team over the radio that his breaks had failed, and he was going about 180 mph (290 kph) at the end of a straightway when he tried to make the corner of the road course. The car catapulted through the gravel and into the air, rolling several times as pieces ripped away, before finally coming to a stop with Pagenaud motionless inside.He climbed out as the AMR safety crew rushed to check on him, and the 2016 series champ sat on the gravel by the wreckage to collect himself.

I tried to make the corner anyways. I know that gravel is dea...
