“a system that automatically shifts weight to the front tires during turn-in to load up the sidewalls and suspension (this is one of the benefits to “left foot braking,” which is done often in racing).”

Money has always had this much of a swing over talent. Always. It just wasn’t reported as much, that’s all. Do your research. Look at how many pay drivers there were on the F1 grid in the 1980's and 90's. Every bit as many as now.

It is amusing me immensely that the legendary build quality shows up in the in-car driving shots in that you can see a solid half inch of daylight between the door and the B pillar.

Not always available, and not always a reasonable cost option. In addition, they often don’t give any more leg room because while my knees may not touch, I can’t put my feet as far forward as I can when they are under the seat in front. Basically, tall people don’t fit in any airline seats except for the…

“Everyone everywhere in coach should not be denied reclining their seat just because some of them may be sitting in front of a person with long legs.”

I’m more than capable of dealing with the conflict from the requirements. I was more trying to educate you as you seemed to be utterly incapable of understanding (based on your tone) that it is more than mild inconvenience if someone in front of your reclines.

As mentioned by the other person - I have no issue reclining my own seat for more torso space, but there usually isn’t any physical space between my knees and the back of the seat in front of me to let the seat come back. My arse is touching my seat, my knees are touching their seat. I usually have to remove the…

Not only did they run that bike over, they did it 8 times in a row. Cr8zY!!!!

Not so much. Australia is the name of the country on that land mass, after all, and it distinguishes them from Tasmanians or from any of the other islands included in that continent. Consistency is saved, once more.

Northern Irish people are not ‘Irish people’. They are Northern Irish people. Northern Ireland is not the same place as Ireland.

Well... not really, though. because a Nationality doesn’t relate to the name of the continent or land mass you are born on, but the country within that land mass. Just because the name is similar doesn’t make it applicable - same as being from the the British Isles doesn’t make someone British. ‘British’ and…

That doesn’t make them British. It’s not the same thing at all. Irish people are from the British Isles (yes, pedantically) but absolutely not of the nationality that is British (which is a citizen of the UK). It’s the equivalent of saying that Canadians and Mexicans are from North America, therefore are American and…

Pfft. I could have done it in 50 minutes AND got the Edsel/Ford Edsel bit right.

That hardly ever works, though. I was astonished to see I had nearly five rows of people actually wait for the 25% or so of people that had immediate connections (some less than 5 minutes) on a United flight yesterday. Usually other people just don’t give a flying fuck.

It goes to show that they didn’t get all overly flag wavey - they got a US owned team, but didn’t insist on a much more US-centric approach (like USF1 did, and like the slavering hordes were demanding) which would have got their arse handed to them. Haas created a global F1 team under american ownership, which is the…

Actually he did an entire lap in that video minus the pit straight...

That is Brands Hatch Indy track.

Agreed. The car is clearly dangerous at this stage. After the second spin I’d have expected to see a flag.

I’m struggling to see how that is the driver. Looks like he has something wrong with the car, surely. He’s hardly pushing the car, despite the rain (slush?Hail?). The first spin was so immediate it looks like a flat tyre or unexpected toe out at rear. The loss of grip is so sudden.

11/12ths? You mean 203/206th’s of the world.
