When precisely was this? Because suspension versus no-suspension is a far greater difference in dynamics and required driving style than ‘electronic gizmos’. Shifter karts have never required the same driving style as a race car since the dawn of race cars. Chassis flex (karts) cannot be worked the same way as moving…
Something that most track people don’t like to admit/think about/acknowledge is that most of the time they are not doing what they think they are doing and you can’t hide from data. I’ve had many drivers swear blind that they are turning in at ‘x’ point and throttling at ‘y’ point and being hopelessly and completely…
Ill be at the Glen this weekend Stef - working. I don’t know how to do pm’s or I’d offer you an invite to come and say hi.
I don’t know which video you guys are watching, but I sure as hell didn’t see two drivers and an instructor. I absolutely did NOT see any hint of a Pro driver in the Porsche, nor any instruction occurring.
You mean similar to how he said “DOHC Billet engine” when he really means “whizzbang special magic engine of much power and imagination-wizard juice”?
Either way he’s dreaming. He won’t build a car of that complexity in 9 years.
Those are not knock offs. They are just centre wheel nuts - all proper race cars have them, but they are not knock offs. Knock offs are called that because you knock them off with a hide hammer back in the 1950s. They are the winged centre nuts, usually with wire wheels. Look at some old Le Mans footage of pit stops.…
While this is hysterically funny from a perspective of ‘anyone that knows anything about vehicle design, production, procedures and ... well anything really’ the guy clearly believes his shit and is stressing so many pointless and irrelevant (and stupid) stuff like ‘billet’, ‘knock off centre lock wheels’ and ‘single…
KNOCK OFF centre-lock hubs, too. Not seen since the 1950s. Impressive*. I can’t imagine how bug a hammer you’d need to smash on teh wheel but that’d be safe at 290 ... sorry, 279 mph.
Nothing says “We have the budget and the facilities to manufacture a ground breaking, revolutionary hypercar with stupendous performance claims far in excess of the entire existing hypercar market” like a shitty looking mock up body thrown onto the back of an open flatbed from the local towing company at the last…

It does look like it is a morph between the Bentley and the latest A4 shape, to me. Everything that isn’t Bentley (which is A LOT) is A4.
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…
