FROM THE PRD DEPARTMENT OF HYDRATION:
Supercars officials have unveiled a bold new strategy to combat the growing issue of drivers overheating during hot race weekends: simply give them a Zooper Dooper and a Powerade.
The announcement comes after multiple drivers have struggled with cool suit failures, leaving them battling extreme temperatures inside race cars that effectively turn into $500,000 automotive saunas.
Rather than introducing complicated engineering solutions, Supercars has reportedly decided to take a more “summer sport day” approach.
“Cooling systems are clearly too unreliable,” a insider close to Supercars said.
“So we’re moving to a proven technology used by every Australian child at a weekend cricket match: frozen sugar water and a suspiciously blue sports drink.”
Under the new regulations, every driver will receive:
One Zooper Dooper inserted into the helmet during pit stops and a Powerade bottle taped to the steering wheel.
Engineers have reportedly warned that the solution may not reduce temperatures, but it will “make everyone feel like they’re doing something.”
The FIA has already expressed interest in the concept, with rumours the next generation of Formula 1 race suits will include a built in Zooper Dooper slot.
