Competition:

Yep. racing needs to be a spectacle. No one is going to go out of their way to watch relatively slow open wheel cars just because they’re electric.

Or one big kid will dominate for a couple years and everyone else will quit playing... and then the big kid finds some other series to race in.

Allegedly you shouldn’t solder wires in a race car because the vibration will eventually crack it and fail.

Slower in turns? Please explain how you reached that conclusion.

“VW has some of the worlds best power train engineers”

The problem is the use of production body shapes. Bringing an example from GTLM, the Ford GT and the Chevy Corvette will not produce similar lap times if given “similar power to weight ratios and power distribution”.

I still would like to find out what the “off track circumstances” were that resulted in Leh Keen getting let go. Speculation is that Cooper MacNeil required setup compromises that were hampering Leh’s pace.

These testing costs are amortized over so many units that they’re insignificant.

How often do you drive 1500 miles in 24 hours?

Target market for this are people that treat cars as an appliance.

Cool of him to offer to help out but these cars are way too cheap to go through this much work to restore one.

So you’re saying they didn’t suddenly start ticketing 2 mint Duesenbergs owned by an otherwise upstanding citizen?

Because the law already achieves what he is looking for.

OE’s (and their suppliers) spend a tremendous amount of money making that product reliable. FEA simulations, lab testing, millions of miles of on road testing, etc.

They’re wireless security cameras mounted to a board on the side of the trailer. The Daily Herald had pictures of them: http://www.dailyherald.com/article/201608…

It sounded like they had tolerated his car hobby for years and this trailer was the last straw.

TL was a V6.

Saw one 2 weeks ago. Told my wife about the “Lisa Caterra” character on TV.

Yep. I was just on a tour at one of the major auto manufacturers and they mentioned this while we were going by one of the Engineering buildings.
