So it will multiply if people don't get called out, or see other people getting called out on it. It is a self policing system. Ignoring the stupidity and not commenting on it is the opposite approach to that which has allowed our civilisation to move forward for hundreds of years on varying scales of magnitude.

Is that a serious question? He should have predicted the car being at the exact pitch and speed to cause aero lift in that way over that rise?

That doesn't make sense. The self policing effect of society is to call people out when they say dick stuff. Then NEXT time maybe they won't say dick stuff. To not call it out is just.... dumb.

Yeah. I like Taki a lot, but that was a pretty awful thing to say. Nothing at all to do with the driver there, either. He was pretty much a passenger the entire time.

Of course. You can bet they'll be more strictly enforced and/or moved back or raised before that track is used again.

It lifted because too much air got under the flat floor and at that point it is just balanced as it flies forward. It is going just fast enough to balance momentum against the force of the air on the flat floor. If the car had been going faster, the car would have most likely been flipped on its back, maybe going…

Yeah, it didn't look too sturdy and had that bent top you see with often jumped fences and I guess the result highlights that possibility. Poor bastards standing in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The car still seems to have all its wheels and big bits on, and that first shot makes it look like it landed *next* to the spectators (one more fence between them) so the car car may have hit them but maybe not landed on them? Hopefully these are only minor injuries from being whacked by a flying wing mirror or…

More to the point, that means he was already on throttle BEFORE mid corner long enough to have to lift to correct line. The main fault of almost all track drivers who haven't had professional instruction - the brake, turn in and immediately go to throttle, so the rear of the car is right on the edge of grip and these…

I'm not saying more cars on track at once, I'm saying you could have more sessions with 34 each time - so 100 cars with people getting on track every 90 minutes for 30 minutes. Or 20 minute sessions every hour. The fact that it is (or was) limited to 34 card per day is dumb.

No, you don't understand. It's $50K a day, with a maximum of 34 cars... Not on track at any one time, PER DAY. So $1470 per car per day. There are rumours you can knock some off that down to around $40K if you don't have the full VIP package (although they prefer you to, because that is their stupid business model)…

I've heard a lot of drivers who like it, but aren't overly enamoured with it. It hasn't shaken their favourites of tracks like Mosport, Road America, Mid Ohio and Laguna etc. They all like it, but it's a bit clinical in anything that isn't super, super fast.

Look below Indycar if you want to talk Stats. Danica has won nothing AT ALL outside Indycar. Simona has won races.

What's the great quote that I shall steal and hijack henceforth?

Simona and Katherine Legge are far better and have had better results than Jorda. She's terrible, even by Susie Wolf standards....

How much power would you have to blast at something to produce the power usage of a modern car, though? I mean, the Alternator alone may need 1600bhp just to power the electrical system. Just utter hand-wavey guff, isn't it? Yet people print this shit and give these fantasists exposure.

I misread the title, and I thought this article was aimed at his daughter for a second.

This car is the fantasy of someone with passing knowledge of cars and some fancy words. Billet seems to be a favourite - he uses it as some kind of statement/assurance of quality. My engine WILL produce far more than any other engine because it is billet, despite it making no difference at all to the power produced if…

You're looking at one guy on one lap (and one car/set up). You have no idea how hard he was pushing so you can't really compare.

What about slow race cars? Are they just 'handsome' or 'cute' as they drop down the grid?
