It would feel like standing on a slightly heavier planet on a 45 degree slope. Close, though.

Looks a fair amount like a Mazda5.

Holy crap that dad beard. I swear if you put him and my father side by side, I could not tell the difference now.

I love time attack, but comparing them to endurance series (GT3) isn’t really fair. The highest level time attack cars are boosted so high that their engines can’t hope to last more than a couple thousand miles at full boost, which is less than what a GT3 car travels during the 24H of Le Mans.

That’s way lamer. Still awesome, but nowhere near as awesome.

I do love the Bronco, though. Those double fuselages. That said, the Super Tucano would also have been great.

You know, I don’t mind if people do this at the back of empty parking lots. I’ve been getting a lot of dings on my car as of late and it’s looking more and more attractive. If the lot’s empty anyways and you take up two of the most unattractive spots, nobody is hurt. Taking a bat to someone else’s car, though, is…

A 40 year old warship is a 40 year old warship. I think the idea of converting some Ohio-class boats would probably be smarter. Yes, they’re a little smaller, but there could be more of them on point.

It being hinged at the rear helps shovel air into the fan when it’s moving forwards.

It makes sense. Those are the only parts of the body not protected by the shield. Probably don’t want them taken out by a rock to the shins.

While I do agree that concurrency is sometimes taken too far, I feel that the EM launch system is is important to have. Aditionally, most of the issues seem to be software, and it’s easy to work out software kinks in two years.

Give them a couple races before making snap judgements. As much as I don’t like the FWD setup, it is a new setup and will thus take a lot more research, development and testing to bring it to the same level of development as its mid-engined competition.

#10: It’s not the lack of downforce that made this happen, it’s air finding a way underneath the downforce-rific flat underbody, Suddenly, it turns into a simple airfoil at a 5 degree angle of attack with its weight behind its center of pressure. No amount of downforce designed for normal race conditions will stop…

True, but a different era and a time with tumultuous racing regulations. Nowadays, with series staying pretty consistent year to year and with the amount of computer simulation that happens, cumulative research, development and, most importantly, testing are pretty necessary for success.

I have actively watched if for 4 years, but thanks for the assumption. I’m fine with the number of pit stops, the issue is that drivers drive to conserve what little tire they have between the stops. It doesn’t make for exciting racing.

As others have been saying, if their pit times are as short as they claim, they may be able to make up for any pace difference they may or may not have. That said, it’s not a good idea to expect much out of any maker’s first year in a top tier motorsport.

It’s almost like they weren’t engineered for a shot lifespan *cough* F1 *cough*

I personally dislike the Nissan because of a bias against FWD, but all the aero work that they were able to do because of it is amazing.

My girlfriend is doing this on her current car to build credit, despite the fact that she could have paid in cash. Gotta start somewhere, and better to get a loan through a credit union than try to deal with the sketchy credit card deals you get if you don’t have a credit history.

I thought when I got a reply to a three year old post a couple months ago that I had seen it all, but this is real next-level necromancy. Thanks, though.
