"I would say most road cars have around 100 pounds of unsprung weight per axle... granted around half of that is wheels and tires."

This is Brands Hatch, not Lydden Hill.

" if you'll admit that the difference isn't always that great."

"You haven't actually provided any facts... Or even any qualitative data... To support your argument at all"

"No vehicle that I know of uses toe in on the rear tires."

"Sir, you don't know what you're talking about."

"That means that 100% of available traction is going towards accelerating or decelerating the car."

Different set of advantages? Not when a corner is involved.

Honestly, no they couldn't. It takes so much more concentration than you think it does to be able to process the information you need to drive a race car at speed consistently and reliably and removal of distractions is a big part of racing, not adding them (like music would be). Every track has a rhythm and

I saw no sign of a front tyre issue at all. I did see a 'cant' shift through wheelspin without the diff torque preference creating a yaw moment' issue with the Mustang, though.

The SR8 is a very long way from being an LMP car. It's very fast, but it really isn't an LMP at all. It's a very effective track day car at best. Steel frame chassis have had no place in proper race cars for getting on for 20 years.

Looking in the passenger door - that roll cage is hysterical. Completely pointless - no stiffness and no safety.

Hey, Patrick. Why do you look like someone just farted a second before your profile shot was taken?

Ok, that was totally bizarre to see them taking tyre warmers off..... for the video to pan out and find the car is sitting on grass. Weird lash of pro-level hardcore effort and backstreet, club level "just park over there in that field".

One kerb later? Explosion of black dust and a crying owner who probably doesn't have a full sized spare in that car (if he has one at all).

In th nicest possible way it's not a matter of 'agree to disagree, but more of a fundamental understanding issue.

However, it is a Silicone compound, therefore making it a silicone based fluid rather than a glycol based fluid. Agreed?

Yes, it is a silicone based fluid. Silicon Ester is a Silicone compound. They do seem to have re-classified it as a Dot 4 plus, which is weird. All the definitions I can find for Dot 4 seem to suggest it is only for glycol based fluids, which is not what makes up SRF. I don't really understand how it can be classed as

That is not correct - the pretty much industry standard racing fluid is Castrol SRF, which is a silicone based fluid. There is no problem getting a ridiculously hard brake pedal with SRF, by any means. It is not 'easily compressible'.
