Is it just coincidence the video is 46 seconds long?

One of my drivers had his fire extinguisher go off while driving around Church corner at Thruxton - a long flat out corner taken in top gear. It was an open wheel race car so he was blinded by the foam going everywhere and it was only because he knew the track so well that he was able to bring the car to a stop before…

Far, far too late and too slow/small a correction. They weren't aware of the oversteer early enough nor of the multiplying effects of the car being rear-end loaded when it lost grip over the kerb.

"just like dining out, air travel is a luxury."

The McLaren was playing, or the driver sucked. The lines were terrible and he was just dropping the hammer on the straights presumably just to have fun. Whereas the Mono was mostly full on it when he got past the Mac.

That's Club straight, not Hanger Straight. They're on the Club circuit (they turned right halfway through Becketts).

I can't help thinking there must be two GoPros facing right at each other, winking and flirting their little red lights at each other, yet never destined to be together and looking into each other's lenses. So near, yet so far.

I had a driver taken out of a race (road course, though) that same weekend and he stood near the side of the track on the grass to wag his finger as they came back around. I told him it was stupid at the time and he conceded that it was. The next morning we're all talking about the Stewart incident and he had the…

That's not being alpha male. That's being a cock. If they want to be all 'tough' like neanderthals then knock each other around the car park with bare fists, don't throw powerful cars at each other and endanger spectators, track workers and other drivers who don't subscribe to the caveman model.

The "have at it boys" mentality just seeps into the lower classes and produces this kind of rubbish. Using the car as a weapon and deliberately coming back on track to interfere with a race is really dangerous. Any professional racing body would/should have banned those two twats for life. You'd only have to do it a…

That moved the entire axle across the car. That's some impressive idiot-karma right there.

Oh I have very little confidence that the engine will be viable. I've been discussing it with my other automotive engineer friends and we're all firmly in the "hmmmmm'+one eybrow raised' camp on the claims.

I also have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and I give your comment 76.4% "completely made up statistics based on almost no information". Well done! They don't give anywhere near enough information for any proper analysis (most likely deliberately to keep IP safe). But I like the fact your percentage ends in a 3.…

That's incredible. Strong as hell ladder, too.

Never underestimate the paralysing effect of panic. Especially when you are suddenly alerted to the fact the metal box you are in is on fire.

I saw this reported somewhere else - the talk of superhuman strength to bend the top of the door away is.... exaggerated somewhat. Anyone that has tried to get their locked door open with a wire coathanger knows it is surprisingly easy to not only bend the top of the door frame open, but also a bit TOO easy to bend it…

Oh, it's possible, but not definite. Trees may be over growing them, some dick may have stolen/sprayed over them, the signs might have fallen off. I mean, apparently that's not the case, but it's only something you can add to the discussion if the signs actually ARE on the right side of the bridge.

"the bridge (which looks clearly marked from where this photographer's standing)"

Most anti-climactic post ever. 'Madness' would seem to be the most over-excitable description ever for this snore-fest. I've had more fun watching a piece of paper 'drift madly' over my desk when a gust of wind caught it.
