Been watching Ferrari 499P #50 driven by Antonio Fuoco making laps around Circuit de la Sarthe since early this afternoon. Thought any #racing fans might like to watch along. #cars #carstr #grownoster

Yeah, tried it yesterday and took forever to load, needs some bugs to be ironed out. It's certainly another promising client.

In light of the recent events of Reddit, any Reddit refugees lurking #nostr should try Zapddit. Just tried out it out. Works really well.

For those who are looking for a more topical oriented feed and want less noise, this is the client to use. Highly underrated!

Big thanks to nostr:npub1ltx67888tz7lqnxlrg06x234vjnq349tcfyp52r0lstclp548mcqnuz40t nostr:npub1cz2ve34nk0ukn0ph4yq2qx3ud8rfy5e0ak4epx42dn8gha0sdgpsgra9kv and all the devs for all the hard work.

Thought this picture was a nice contrast. Look how large the Garage 56 car is compared to everything else. #cars #carstr #carchain #racing

Just as a an aside to this note, if anyone hasn't been, I strongly recommend getting a factory tour of Shelby American in Las Vegas, it's well worth it if your a car enthusiast. I was there in 2011 and got to get a sneak peak of the 2011 Shelby GT350 and them building customers GT500 Super Snakes in the production room as well as the Series 1 in the museum portion. Out on the factory floor you sign the wall with your name and date you visited, no cameras though. It's a really interesting place! Never got to meet the late Carroll Shelby though as he was busy that day.

1998–2005 Shelby Series 1

The Shelby Series 1 is a high-performance sports car produced by the American automaker, Shelby American. It was the first car designed and built entirely by Shelby American, and it was also the company's first ground-up production car.

The Series 1 was introduced in 1998 and remained in production until 2005. The Shelby Series 1 was powered by an Oldsmobile Aurora V8 engine, which was modified by Shelby American to produce 320 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. The engine was mated to a six-speed manual transmission, which sent power to the rear wheels. The Series 1 had a top speed of 170 miles per hour and could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.4 seconds.

The body was made of carbon fiber and featured a number of aerodynamic elements, including a large front splitter and a rear diffuser. The Series 1 also had a distinctive front grille, which was inspired by the original Shelby Cobra.

Production of the Shelby Series 1 was limited to just 249 units. Each car was hand-built at Shelby American's factory in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Overall, the Shelby Series 1 was a significant achievement for Shelby American, as it demonstrated the company's ability to design and build a high-performance sports car from the ground up. Its combination of speed, handling, and exclusivity make it a highly sought-after collector car today. #cars #carstr #carchain #carporn #grownostr
