It’s time to do it. The usual. But this season is not the case. Many hype has been imposed on next-generation cars as a good equalizer to make the competition closer, and some of them prove to be true. The top organizations in the series are still the most successful, but it’s undeniable that the car is a steep learning curve, four months after the competition, and no one could take advantage of it. .. Of the 12 different winners, only 5 were repeated and no apparently runaway favorite team. Alan Gustafson, crew chief of Chase Elliott’s Hendrick Motorsports, said: Hendrick Motorsport and Trackhouse Racing are leading the way for Chevrolet. However, the order of pecking changes weekly.

I don’t know what influenced that idea, but while relaxing in the cinema’s comfortable climate-controlled environment, I noticed that I had been sitting in the same place for quite some time. I parked in a reclining chair for nearly two and a half hours before appearing immediately, getting a treat, and watching the preview. We hadn’t hit the denowment yet. A little post-film Google Fu revealed that the average run time of feature films has increased by about 10 minutes every 10 years since 1981. In 2021, a standard Hollywood movie lasted 131 minutes. Unless I’m completely absorbed in that particular activity, my heart is likely to wander. So the idea of ​​movie length evolved into a full-fledged desire to confirm my suspicions after leaving the theater. It’s difficult to focus on one task for a long time and requires some discipline. .. I often need to set my own goals and try to get the job or activity done within a specific time frame. The constant passage of time and the overwhel

Behind them, the Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillacs remained in third and fourth, Sebastien Bourdais’ #01 car ahead of Earl Bamber in the #02.

The Tour de France released the latest edition on July 1st, this time from Denmark’s bike-friendly lands, once again at the pinnacle of the biggest bike race. The Grand Department Store was scheduled to leave there in 2020, but has been delayed due to the pandemic. We hope that Covid-19, who recently destroyed Peloton in the Tour de Suisse, will not ruin the tour party again. Pandemics are now in their third year, and over time there have been many ways to deal with pandemics and their antisocial effects. In addition to more than 6.3 million deaths, the entire country was closed, events were canceled everywhere and travel restrictions were put in place.

However, there were some happier outcomes, such as the new bike boom and the increased challenges of vi
