I signed up for my trial over the weekend after holding out for years. I booked a 1 year subscription the first day. They’ve acquired all of the great car shows the Discovery Network has abandoned, they’ve got Top Gear, they’ve got the MT shows, and they’re adding more and more live motorsport. I’m glad I held out as…

You’re under the assumption the drivers are the only problem. In fact, I’d argue Vettel wouldn’t make so many mistakes if Ferrari actually executed their weekends properly. There were many times Vettel should have been on pole in 2018 and Ferrari screwed up. Vettel then felt he had to overcompensate and usually…

I think you need to re-check your history there. Ferrari’s best periods were under Luca, who was hand picked by Enzo himself to work at Ferrari. Luca ran the Ferrari F1 team in the early 70s and brought them to their successes with Lauda. When he left the team to run Fiat, they started their slide down the grid. And…

I think he’ll get another year to get things together. He at least has a long history with Ferrari which should stave off the knives for a bit longer. Hopefully the Ferrari execs realize you can’t turn a corporate culture around overnight and give him the time he needs to get Ferrari on the right path.

FCA is being ruthless here. It’s not like the Roxor came out of nowhere, Mahindra had plans to bring this vehicle to the US years ago. FCA waited specifically until Mahindra had built the plant, hired workers, bought a bunch of components to build the vehicles, started selling cars, and THEN FCA decided to sue…

Well thank you, I appreciate that comment. I am an automotive engineer, but not quite experienced enough to be a manager. One day it’ll happen though.

I truly began paying attention to F1 in the 2000s, but I’ve done a lot of back reading and watching into the olden days. I sort of alluded to this in my rant, but yeah it’s definitely nothing new in F1.

If that’s your opinion, you need to take a look back at some of the teams that have flunked out of F1 just in this decade alone. If you want some fun, look up the USF1 team Peter Windsor tried to start up. This was a team that had a real entry and everything. I’m not going to spoil it, because the stories you can dig…

Here’s the fundamental difference between Mercedes and Ferrari, one Binotto needs to address in the off-season if he wants Ferrari to improve. It’s not going to be an easy change because this is inherently ingrained in Ferrari’s culture and part of it is due to being an Italian team that the Italians adore:

Don’t forget the Global Auto Salon that went on as the leadup to the Formula E double header, plus the massive RM Sotheby’s car auction happening this week. All of it is a distraction from their atrocities and it’s sadly working.

This looks like a hilarious way to die. It’s already coffin shaped, so they can just lower the mangled hulk of a Geo into the ground with you squashed inside like an old soda can. Unfortunately, it’s far cheaper to buy 100 Big Macs and eat them till you explode like Mr Creosote.

Ahh, the old “but I like this one black artist and one black comedian, therefore I can’t possibly be racist” routine.  

So...75% wood then?

Way to be late to the game Japan, some old codgers in a shed beat you to it:

From what I’ve gathered, it seems like Renault may have had pre-determined brake bias settings built into the wheel. So for Turn 1, you could pre-set it at 50/50, but for Turn 2 it could be 45/55, then at Turn 3 it’s 47/53, etc. You just pre-set them in the wheel, and the driver pushes the button to advance it from…

If by “cowards” you mean “the people who have started a brand new series from the ground up, built a fanbase, and have huge manufacturer interest in a market that really wasn’t clamoring for an EV series, but still ended up making a racing series that has slowly grown from nothing into an influential international…

If you want inside information into IndyCar racing, Robin Miller is the man. He’s got connections everywhere and everyone talks to him and he knows everything there is to know about IndyCar for the last 60 years. But when it comes to his hot takes he is strictly old school and unapologetic about it. If he was running…

A stock and slightly rusty FJ just sold for $12K near me.  At this price, it’s worth taking a punt, especially with the parts provided.  Even if it turns out to be too much work to restore, you could part it out and get your money back.

It’s been well reported that people don’t tell him the whole story: after telling Russia some of our most closely guarded secrets, the intel community pulled its closest Russian assets specifically because they were worried Trump’s leak would compromise them.

If you actually understood how motorsport strategy worked, you’d realize how absurd this entire piece is.
