God I love you nerds...
Also looks like it could be Austin Dooley on the right??
His right ear is too big
Definitely Jess with the long hair. Looks like her and Ethan Craik are testing at the same location from their Insta stories.


This is the kind of sleuthing the thread has been lacking for a while.
Agreed
BC, Ethan, Dak,Jess... thats a solid team
Is Marini still on the Team Next year?
Anyone have a screenshot? No desire to have Instagram on my desktop computer.
It's literally at the top of this page.
there's 15 versions one scroll up
Ethan's mechanic at a "Scott Team Camp". Would suggest that as it's a team camp it's way less of a coincidence that Jess "just happened" to be in the same place at the same time...
yes!!! eargate is the new frecklegate, amazing.
Kind of insane that it is the same dude lmao.
We need to get a clearer shot of those visible hands though.. I don't think they have many freckles.
Now it all makes sense!
I don’t think there have been many solid clues until now. But there was never any doubt that this crew would come through once there was decent material to work with.
I wonder if the B practice pod another piece of evidence? Tanner Stephens has connection with Scott? And now Dak??
For some reason I think Dak and BC are homies, that's what my memory of past Vital pods tells me at least. I wouldn't rely on IG likes at this point
the Scott DH ig story does a great job of concealing any luscious locks on the male figure, something not done in what appears to be Jess Blewitt
If you ask me, the hands aren't matching. Dak's got some meaty paws, not lining up with the scott DH IG silhouette story

Lina Frener (and presumably Norco Race Division?), off Fox clothing.
Most likely to get some cohesiveness for the team. Lina was Fox but everyone else was Dharco. Be interesting to see if Greg stays with Fox.
No way would the world make the perfect marriage of Dak being able to couch surf @buckoW house...running e-motos together, sharing controls on diggers, dropping into Morgins & Champerey out the front door on a rig dialed in specifically for the steeps of the Port du Soleil.

Who's going to use AI to enhance and extract the content from that??? I already tried with our corporate copilot, but it doesnt have the extensions for image enhancement...
After some zoom-ins, some squints, and sending to my friends at Law & Order SVU for some "enhance" action:
It looks like Dak will be racing the Trans Robitussin race next year on MS Beef Tallow Tombraider. I think they were riding Crestlines in 2025.
AI is SO cool.
"A true American dream team"
"Furniture Moving" ?
Copilot is just a dressed up Clippy

His old contract with ns was wild, polygon have been working on this for years to get him back
Are ear pics the new foot pics ?
