Evgeny Zelenov drove a BMW 320i at the 2007 FIA WTCC Race of the Netherlands
I'm posting this not because the driver or car are particularly interesting, but because of the sheer hilarity of the result. On his first and only WTCC appearance with Russian Bears Motorsport, he managed to get lapped in both races despite not making a pit stop in either. He was around 7-8 seconds off the pace per lap.
He evidently took one look at the timing screen and wisely decided that international motorsport wasn't for him. Even the usually calm and fair David Leslie was joking that he needed driving lessons before the next race, which of course would never come. A contender for the worst WTCC driver ever? I think so.

James Thompson seemingly selling at least a considerable part of his personal trophy/race gear collection
Not sure if I'm totally out of the loop but I do wonder what's prompted this, seems a strange thing to get rid of memorabilia like that from Thommo.

Intimacy Tips from Dayan Masinde [0:53]
This guy is becoming a bit of a meme on Instagram, yet all I can think about is how relaxing his voice is particularly with the accent.

Cacá Bueno drove a fourth factory Chevrolet Cruze 1.6T at the 2011 FIA WTCC Race of Brazil
He finished third in Race 1 to claim a podium finish and then came fifth in Race 2, a much better result than on his previous one-off appearance at Brands Hatch the year before, when an engine fire forced him out of the opening race.

When are they finally going to fix this ridiculous camera shutter issue?
I'm so tired of it taking about 20 clicks before the phone finally decides to take a photo, if it does at all. Often I will miss a good shot or be made to look like a complete moron in front of whoever I am with or trying to photograph thanks to this.
And before anyone decides to mention software upgrades or anything like that, there must have been about 4/5 since this stupid issue started last year, including the last one which completely changed the camera interface yet still did not fix the actual problem.
On a side note, as good as the hardware is, the oppo merger has been a disaster for the OnePlus software; the phone UI makes it look like a cheap Chinese phone. When I got my first OnePlus (3T) in 2017, it was not far off the Pixel experience, but since then it is just getting worse with every update.

By the end of the season, the Priora was fairly competitive, which was a big step up from the earlier 110 that was more of a mobile chicane than a proper touring car. James Thompson even managed to score points with two sixth-place finishes. The project was scrapped before the 2010 season, so the car never received the chance to be developed further
