To be fair, Chevy has basically zero control over the floor, and per your post from yesterday, this absolutely was a rear impact at speed. There is certainly something that someone could do to prevent blow overs, but at the end of the day this is still an extremely dangerous and thrilling sport.

In the context of building a race car, “saves weight” and “we can’t figure out how to make a 7 speed hold together...” are two ways of saying the same thing. They could easily make a 7 speed that would hold together if weight, and size, weren’t considerations.

It’s a front-engined twin-turbo V6. It has a hybrid system (the next GT-R will clearly have one) and is capable of being configured for AWD. It’s a “GT-R LM NISMO”...seems appropriate.

I can’t wait to see this thing race.

The Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid had a 36,000rpm flywheel as the passenger!

I was too, but I watch more TV than movies on it after subscribing. House of Cards is excellent, damn near worth the subscription alone.

Here’s hoping he names one of the cars Jalopnik. A brown, Volvo diesel, manual Miata wagon with the firepower of an A-10 Warthog and named the Jalopnik.

So basically every mechanically inclined car guy’s dream come true, drop anything you’re doing, “hell yes I’ll do this job” bolting cars together to look like you found whatever you could and used whatever tools were on hand, make them look fast, make them shoot fire, using unlimited studio-supplied parts and a…

I seem to recall that during practice for the 2011 Indy 500, Simona’s car caught fire AND flipped. And she still climbed into an old, overweight backup car and made it safely into the field, bandaged hands and all.

Glad she got out okay. Shes already gotten burned by a flaming car before.

Yeah let’s just take pictures behind a warehouse, shall we?

I guess it’s wallpaper time!

Accept that she didn’t sign anything. She was given the ticket and it was scanned. The “waiver” on the back of the ticket has no legal standing as others have pointed out.

I hope this clarifies it. It’s “in excess of $15,000.” This means that they haven’t asked for a specific amount. You allege “in excess of $15,000” purely for jurisdictional reasons. It’s a boilerplate statement that is made to show that the claim is properly brought in the Circuit Court, rather than County or Small…

Beyond the technical reasoning... It’s just wonderful to see a company doing something out of the norm, completely different from everyone else. To push the envelope in ways that would seem unnecessary, or foolish to others, just to contribute to progression of motorsport and make the best possible car you can make...…

Well apparently the ideal shape for the best aerodynamics is the shape of a raindrop.

I don’t care if they succeed or fail. This is the single most interesting thing at this year’s 24 hours of Le Mans.

They were afraid of being sued for releasing a race car with a design similar to others?
