Just imagine someone in january telling you that by june NASCAR would be on its way to become the most progressive major sports league in the US.

Not too long ago, maybe even earlier this year, he would have been at high risk of being Kaepernicked for suggesting this livery and the flag ban, especially at RPM.

True, but in snowy regions, it does come with some pitfalls

Politicians are patting themselves on their packs everywhere for planning to ban ICE cars at some time in the future, but what they don’t talk about is the socio-economic implications such a move has. Right now, small electric cars without subsidies are not economically viable, so a large number of people might be…

That would be a car fast enough to not be a hazard to traffic, so >300kph and <4min lap time, and at least 10 lap range.

And what exactly is Le Mans supposed to do?

It’s sad how the periods where spaceflight was funded best and made the most progress was when there was conflict to be won with it. Of course during the 60s, but the progress made in the 40s, even though it was not the intent of the project, was maybe even faster than in the 60s. Von Brauns team went from no…

In Germany all officers are armed, yet they only kill 11 people a year. This is so little that it makes the news whenever it happens. This compares to three per day in the US.

He said 10 deliveries, not 10 pizzas.

It seems american policemen aren’t trained for anything.

If the fire was hot enough to destroy an aluminium housing, the steel gears would have been randomly heat-treated and now have unknown material properties.

They would probably treat it like a doping test, a missing test would count as positive

I think only electric cars pass 100hp. They are currently capped at 80kw, which is 108,8hp. The top cars also all run four wheel drive and torque vectoring.

Interestingly, the motor is rated almost exactly the 80kw power limit for electric FSAE car. It is however way too heavy to make sense in an FSAE car.

A meltdown onboard a ship would be quite unusual, as most ship reactors I am aware of are liquid fuel types, which can’t meltdown, some are even unable by design to enter any runaway state.

That would be very unlikely to work, and if it could be done, it wouldn’t reduce spending at all.

The double standards between this and Suzuka 1990 are incredible.

it is important to remember that we will seem like drooling simpletons in the 2250s

Driving without computer assistance won’t puzzle anyone in the future, as there was/ is no computer capapble of driving a car, so it will be viewed like sailing between Europe und America instead of flying.

I think he is going to do it like Rosberg. No, not becoming an influencer, but Keke, who retired to spend time with his family, and returned to race sportscars and DTM a few years later, and even opening his own team in the process.
