What if the foot trucks at the track had to run the track for qualifying? Fastest trucks get to choose their stall first.

And now you’ve got me imagining Townsend Bell driving a Taco Bell sponsored race car. Thanks.

I find the buzzing is really annoying in the two hairpins in the infield. Whatever gear they’re in while they’re rolling the car through the center of the corners is maddening

Mmm, tacos. Too bad I just ate...and am too drunk to drive anyway.

The buzzing is the compressor that maintains the pneumatic pressure needed to shift the gearbox. You hear it under braking as the downshifts use some pressure. You can hear it super clear in the Audi and when the drivers spin and stall the engine.

Oh, ok. I haven’t watched any onboards besides the full race coverage - not sure if they’ve put us in an Audi there.

From the onboard of the Audi the compressor is about twice as loud as the engine. I can’t imagine how annoying that would be for the driver.
