An interesting sidennote to this ruling is that, as usual in such cases, the manufacturer does not have to reimburse the customer with the purchase price, but rather with the purchase price minus a fee for wear. This fee is dependent on the expected lifetime of the vehicle and the mileage covered..

In most countries, rally cars do need to be road legal for transit stages. Maybe the US have different rules, or the rally has no transits?

Alex Yoong was also quite bad. Three DNQs in 15 attempts without an oversubscribed grid, and Mark Webber in the other Minardi was able to fight with and sometimes beat Arrows and Toyota.

The team is entered as Russian, and has Russian sponsors, but it is actually run by a Portugese company(Algarve Pro Racing). From the communication released by G-Drive, it sounds like they left over the document, which makes sense considering Gazprom is bankrolling it and Roman Rusinov appears to have certain…

Well, I definitely only hit publish once.

This is probably a good time to point out that a few years ago Dimitry Mazepin was reported to be very interested in aquiring the chemical industry in the Odessa region.

The latest information is that fighting is still ongoing at Hostomel, so it will probably not survive, along with the rest of Antonov.

Most fires are caused by neglected maintenance anyway. Since very few electric cars have reached “flammable” age yet it will be interesting how that develops in the future. Fuel leaks are obviously gone as a hazard, but electrical fires might increase.

Lewis with fresh tires needed two laps to overtake a Red Bull with dead tires earlier in the race, he could have made it a lot harder for Verstappen than he did.

Freitas is probably the least controversial appoinment possible, since he’s highly respected by drivers and teams and has not had any major controversies in his time as WEC race director. He is also usually quite strict on track limits and driving standards, so F1 drivers might be in for some change.

160km/h is the usual top speed for european freight locomotives.

That’s also how Red Bull became so big. They introduced 250ml cans, which were unique at the time, and charged ridiculous prices to fool people into thinking the product was special.

Fuel Cells have very low power density, but so do internal combustion engines, yet those are far superior in Formula E’s application(comapre FE and F3) due to the batteries’ horrible energy density. Since there are many applications that require high energy density, hydrogen is not as dead as many people believe.

THe rollcage question is interesting, because most rulesets require the fuel tank to be inside the cage or otherwise protected. The logic behind that would probably also apply to electric cars, and that could lead to some interesting problems with floor-mounted batteries.

Carbon fiber chassis can be repaired, F1 teams even do it sometimes to avoid having to make a complete new one. However, the repair would almost certainly require very rare skills and manufacturer-exclusive knowledge, so the car would have to be sent to Weissach to be repaired. If it can be done, it would probably…

It wouldn’t really park trucks. Trucks will usually work with plain water in their Adblue tanks, so the operators could choose to run illegally if they can’t get AdBlue, as eastern european companies have been doing since SCR cats became a thing. Police sometimes check for that, but for most people, a fine is…

I just did a quick search in Germany to see what prices are like in a market where they were sold in large numbers, and encountered someone selling one of these that has a 4,2l Audi V8 with 320hp fitted.

I did a quick search in Germany, and the ones that I found in comparable conditions are in the mid 4-figure range. There are many available in better condition for less. The seller has definitely slapped on an obscurity premium.
