Hey everyone, it's been awhile!
If any of you were still subscribed to the membership (which has been paused for the last 12 months), you may have received an email saying that your membership has been cancelled. As I don't think I'll be able to continue posting the F1 analysis which you signed up for, I have gone ahead and just cancelled it so that BuyMeACoffee doesn't start trying to charge again (I can only snooze subscriptions for 6 months at a time).
If you're curious what I've been up to and why I haven't bee posting, it's because last year I finally landed a gig in endurance racing, and I've been absolutely hooked! I started last year performance engineering on the SC63 Lamborghini in IMSA and finished the year race engineering the car for Indianapolis and Petit Le Mans. If you're following WEC/IMSA, you probably noticed that there were some big changes in Lambo program. The writing was kind of on the wall towards the end of last season, so I started looking around for other opportunities.
At the end of the year, I joined Wayne Taylor Racing to be the race engineer on the no.40 Cadillac V-Series.R GTP/LMDh car. These cars have been my favourite since the LMDh cars were introduced, so it's awesome to get to work with these cars and an awesome team like WTR. Last week was the Rolex 24 at Daytona - if you missed it here's the highlights reel:

As I am finding my feet with my new job, I'll probably be pretty absent from socials, but there's a chance down the road I can possibly share some of my thoughts and impressions about IMSA / Endurance Racing! So hopefully I can do that at some point...
Cheers,
Blake
