Yup, neat stuff, and some of that footage really does look like it’s out of an action movie.

If Bernie’s always been identified as F1’s biggest problem, he’s also the one who made the F1 something professionnal. The solution is not to remove Bernie.

If you want to make F1 more exciting, get rid of the wings. Sure, the lap times will go up, but the race craft will increase significantly, which means more wheel-to-wheel, more battles and a LOT more passing. This is why MotoGP is so much more thrilling to watch than F1. It also means that the constructor’s and…

Wow...that was an awesome read. Bravo, Raph!

The traction control switch should just be labeled Unsubscribe Me From Future Ferrari Models.

Kinda looks like Turbo Teen

I’ll take this one!!!

That’s what the Japanese manufacturers do. Look at Honda. They’ve ridden the gravy train of their reliability reputation for the last 15 years. Toyota too. They got to the high ground and decided that wasn’t enough instead of trying to summit the next peak.

Japanese cars in a nutshell. Little recent technical innovation. When they aren't bland, they're weird.

former prius owner/current volt owner here. So I might have a little bit of bias. Anyway, I owned a 2002 Prius. It was the first generation that was released in the US. Back then the car was truly revolutionary. There was hardly anything on the market like it. At that point the Prius had been in Japan for a few…

It may just be me, but I absolutely cannot stand a central instrument cluster. I realize it helps make things more inexpensive to manufacture, but damn it looks weird/is different so I hate it.

I think we should celebrate this failure. Isn’t that the point of testing? Now we (as well as NASCAR officials) know that that package doesn’t lead to the best racing, and that change won’t make it into the 2016 season.

I was bullshitting with folks in the NASCAR subreddit during the race, as I often do, and said that I, as an F1 fan, whose used to car parades, find this car parade boring.

but at speeds exceeding 40 miles over the limit, it seems like a safe assumption.

I'm told it's part of the charm and you get used to it/it's better (even though it isn't). But seeing as it's my likely next car, I will learn to love it like my own child. Oh and touché, I'd much rather have BRZ gauges.

Both robots should have yielded. Then spent the next 10 miles battling it out, overtaking and brake checking.

People have been saying that for the last twenty years and it’s still there going strong. Pikes Peak seems to have its fair share of fatalities but nobody seems to get up in arms about that.

Why? Driving stick is not exactly a high barrier to entry. Plenty of wealthy idiots know how to do it.

I dunno, this car had an Automatic in it and it was a beast.

Counterpoint: an idiot in a stick car could have been just as bad. It want the auto saving him, it was PTM.
