So basically the company is cataloging child porn.

That was a driver’s reaction, not the team’s reaction. As far as I know the team was not in the car at the time of the caption..

Does that mean it’s not coming on then?

You’re assuming they use karts that can actually move. Most tracks like this use the incredibly crippled version of go-karts that go, like, 20 mph tops.

Seriously download some random person’s Roller Coaster Tycoon design and you’d be better off.

This looks like someone just walked the track and speeded up/slowed down the video.

You have an opportunity to make a four story kart track and waste it on a giant corkscrew and then a hill. And that’s it.

While the music was fitting for the farewell, i cant help but think Benny Hill would have been more appropriate

I yelled no at the screen at 0:53.

I always wanted to like the PC class, but unfortunately it seemed to be in the wrong place speed and handling wise. As a result they were always in the way, combined with the less skilled drivers they seemed to cause more problems.

I’ll just leave this here.

Wow, some of those track re-entries are lucky they didn’t kill someone.

I wouldn’t say engines (even after development) are cheap, but I don’t think bumping the limit to 8 and solving the issue of stupid grid penalties (that seems to be plaguing smaller teams that are already at the back more than the others) would put a big dent in any of the current team’s budget.

I think the bigger question is track day insurance. Most run of the mill car insurance will not cover you if you go to a track day, sign all the waivers and crash your car.

Pretty sure the ZR-1 cares a little more about function over form...

Isn’t the pushrod engine physically smaller (despite higher piston displacement), lighter and able to mount lower in the chassis (for lower center of gravity) than a comparable DOHC engine? I get it - DOHC can rev to the sky and make great power from moderate displacement (I see you Mustang), but is it arbitrarily

I wasn’t a fan of his character because the stereotype wasn’t expressed in a new or creative way. There’s a lot of dumb, stereotypical redneck jokes that are old and busted. There’s also Jeff Foxworthy level clever which now defines the genre. His American stereotype didn’t really give me anything I didn’t expect so

I love vintage racing! The owners are there as part of (an expensive) hobby and they are having fun. I’ve found the participants to be open and welcoming in the extreme and I’ve even been able to meet some big name pilots who are there for the fun of it, too.

PotbellyJoe sir, I have to thank you. “Our Tamed Racing Driver” makes so much more sense than either “Our Team Racing Driver” or “Tame Racing Driver.” Because the Stig was wild, and if he ever put a car in the grass, they’d show it. I’d missed the joke every single time Clarkson said it, and would’ve continued missing

On the other, I wasn’t thrilled with how Skinner’s character was portrayed. His hatred of import cars and undying love for fat-displacement V8s felt very heavy-handed and stereotypical. Perhaps this was funny for a non-American audience, but for me it felt tired and stale. Like, “Oh, look, here’s a twangy American
