  The whole train thing is staple of watching NASCAR, which also features regular passenger car-shaped racing cars.

  The in-line drafting thing to gain speed definitely works, and it’s a wonder we haven’t seen more of it before.

  As is the trading paint between cars.

  Watching NASCAR drivers organize themselves into trains is fun, and watching some car that falls out of the train is painful.

  Teams talk with each other in the pits, arranging to swap the lead so they each get points for leading a couple of laps, before peeling off and dropping to the back of the train to save their tires.

  This is unlike Formula 1 where dirty air aerodynamics behind their super-optimized winged cars ruins the thrill of drafting close behind. Although I hear things have gotten slightly better, but the things that the rules committee introduced like temporary overtaking boosts feel very contrived.

  It suddenly made me laugh out loud when I put together that it was Sudo, of all people, who noted that Kanata likely considers it a point of pride to not swap paint, and that he likely learned that from his mentor Takumi.

  He knows all too well that Takumi not only wouldn’t do it, but could and would make you regret trying.

  And broadly, this series is much better when they’re in the cars. It still drags on too long, and it gets tedious watching the same cliched actions and hearing the same cliched thoughts. (Seriously - how many times is somebody going to register shocked surprise when they get passed by Kanata going what seems to be too fast on the outside, then turning it into a drift? And when are they finally going to stop saying, “Well I have [some enormous amount of] horsepower, so he can’t beat me!”?) But still, it’s better than when they’re out of the cars.

  And I have to note too - though fat shaming isn’t generally on my radar (not that I approve or anything - it’s just never been a part of my life either direction), the way this series is using Marie as pathetic comedy relief is starting to piss me off.
