I'm here this weekend - working. But I'll be done by around 11am tomorrow. I may have driven past you lot in a golf cart earlier this evening.

The FIA aren't really qualified to certify if the physics models are accurate, though. They demand that tracks are only FIA certified if they correspond to certain requirements, so they're basically saying that the game respects those requirements when the modelled the track. They're not even (as I read it) certifying…
Valencia, not Velencia.
So basically a Group N race car with the interior left in then. Not so stock at all...
That was certainly why they started having them. Maybe they have moved to a more integrated airbag system now they have more, smaller air bags?
Yeah, but I bet it was just idiots that didn't want to wear seatbelts that said that. Also, early airbags were pretty violent anyway, but they were always designed to work with seat belts so 'murdering' sounds like un-founded hysteria to me.
That's not from me. That's directly from the Head of Crash Department of a major motor manufacturer in Europe and his knowledge of the regulations. The US government demand that airbags control non-restrained occupants. Based on US research numbers on seat belt wearing likelihood. It's not opinion, it's factual…
Englishman, in Canada. Running on about 2 hours sleep in 48 hours, trying to cut across a wet car park in the dark..... I had my seat belt on, though.
Those knee airbags (and the bar that shoved into my shins at warp 10 and bruised them when I hit a pole in a Dodge Caravan at 15 mph) are only there (and only make airbags painful) because not enough americans can be trusted to wear their seatbelts, so the US regulations mandate enough airbag force/coverage to stop an…
I was going to say - holy shit those tyres are pooched, then I checked the youtube description and... yep. They're a long way past giving useful information.
"The thing is, there is no general rule here. If you have ABS (as just about every car on the road does today), you shouldn't pump the pedal. If you don't have ABS, you should avoid hard braking if you can."
Corvettes sound like crap, though. They have that low pitch drone like the longest fart/burp combo EVA. Not a nice sound at all.
The lead Engineer at Reynard on the project was the same guy that had been involved in all kinds of Le Mans stuff (Nigel Stroud) including the Mazda 757. The guy was an utter genius. The car itself was very well designed (within the Panoz-dictated front engine parameters) - the rear section and gearbox/susp came off…
Why does Leno always drive with his head back, looking down his nose with his eyes shut?

We can see this, right?
Try and twist it if you want, but power equalisation is unconnected to handling. The Mustangs had more power than anything else, so it was equalised. The suspension design is still terrible, and still inferior (in every way within a road course context) to IRS.
I have never directly raced against a Mustang. Different classes, so your imagined animosity doesn't exist. I'm a race car engineer - shitty design offends me, that's all.
