First Look: The BMW M Hybrid V8 in its Race Livery
The BMW M Hybrid V8 has arrived in North America and was presented to the public in its racing colours for the first time at a launch event at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles (USA). The first prototype developed by BMW M Motorsport in 25 years will sport an avant-garde livery which leverages the iconic BMW M colours when it competes in the GTP class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2023. 
The four core drivers who will take their place at the wheel of the two BMW M Team RLL cars were also announced at the Petersen Museum. They are BMW M works drivers Connor De Phillippi (USA), Philipp Eng (AUT), Augusto Farfus (BRA) and Nick Yelloly (GBR). When the car makes its race debut at Daytona (USA) in January 2023, they will receive big-name support from IndyCar series driver Colton Herta (USA).

Colton is easygoing and laidback, a true California kid, yet is intensely competitive. Participant (rumored to be the mastermind) in several of the infamous Indy 500 bus lot pranks in recent years, he somehow eludes any true blame falling upon him. He’s well-liked within the paddock, most recently sort of adopted by the Bus Bros and nicknamed “Swolton.” He is also close friends with Alex Rossi, often staying with his former teammate when he needs to be in Indy. He doesn’t make a lot of waves off-track, one of the quietest drivers on social media, but makes up for it on-track with fantastic saves and crashes in equal measure. Just 23 years old in 2023 has 7 wins, 11 podiums and 9 poles in his young life.

F1 discussions.
In late summer 2022, it was announced that F1 team AlphaTauri had an interest in Colton for the 2024 F1 season. Colton, already signed to McLaren F1 as a test driver in addition to his Andretti contract in Indycar, was not eligible for a Super License, a requirement to drive in F1, but this could be addressed with an exception by the FIA. At one point it was announced that this was a done deal but it was not and Red Bull (AlphaTauri’s parent team) soon abandoned all efforts to acquire Colton as a driver.
The Super License system is a convoluted thing that I will not explain here other than to say that Indycar is vastly underrated in points assigned and if not for this discrepancy, Colton would have had more than enough points. But as it is, Colton had 32 points out of a needed 40. Other drivers in similar situations have raced in various lower tier FIA sanctioned series to make up the points and Colton was willing to do this over the winter of 2022-23 but this was also not allowed by the FIA.
But seeing Colton in F1 is still a possibility, should he do well enough in Indycar to earn the points needed and should Michael Andretti eventually succeed in buying an existing F1 team or convincing F1 to allow him to enter a new team. After the end of the 2022 Indycar season, Colton signed a multi-year contract extension with Andretti that includes the ability to switch to an Andretti owned F1 team.

i'm not saying, after reading the responses to the katherine legge-stefan wilson incident, that the world has progressed past the need for misogynistic motorsport fanboys, but also yes i kind of am. (here's to hoping both drivers are at their best and able to participate sunday)
the world has long progressed past the need for misogynistic motorsport fanboys.
Katherine hasn't entered the Indy 500 for ten years. Her last open-wheel race was Formula E in Putrajaya in 2014. she still outqualified every single full-time RLL driver - which isn't to call them rubbish, it's just that Katherine is exceptionally good. she's 42 and was faster than a 21 year old.
I really hope that both her and Stefan and their cars are in good shape for the race, I don't know what the spare chassis and parts situation is this year (it's been short in the past, it was why Grace motorsport didn't make it to the grid the last time Katherine was trying) and the most important thing is that both of them were in what seemed like good shape after a shunt like that.
big crashes happen. sometimes they happen because of driver mistakes. only one gender of driver has it put down to that.

here is my little silly gp st pete post:
callum illot is very smiley and knows how to drive an indycar
kyle kirkwood’s favorite pubsub is buffalo chicken tender, the only correct choice
indycar is superior to any other racing series on earth
will power makes funny faces when he’s confused
turn 3 is a nightmare
i’m the same height or taller than half the grid
scott mclaughlin draws hearts in the most cursed way imaginable
romain grosjean is very sweet to young fans
arrow mclaren is the most attractive team i have ever seen, both drivers and staff
never pay for grandstand
i’m pretty sure graham rahal kept inviting random people into the rll hospitality and it was driving his staff insane
if you go by yourself, a random family will adopt you for the weekend
josef newgarden WILL run you over with his scooter
marcus armstrong wears those ridiculous prada (or gucci?) glasses everywhere
mechanics from every team work together the whole weekend, sharing everything but strategy
benjamin pedersen was not nervous for his first race
watch the support series. do it. go.
this was the best weekend of my life and i can’t believe i get to do it again in may
