Thanks for looking! My brother and I have a friendly annual photo contest at Petit. I get slaughtered every time.

A little Deltawing pr0n from last year's Petit Le Mans:

"Women are soft and gentle, but they hit things."

not a print ad, but a good one nonetheless

funny enough I was with the boy scouts in the mountains, I wasn't hit directly, but one of the boys was. It was like being blinding by the brightest photographers flash you can imagine and being throw to the ground by a supersonic clap. Fortunately, the boy it did strike was 200 lbs 6'1" so his body took it well.

That's pretty similar to being struck by lighting actually, just ask me.

What happens if lightning strikes a Tesla? That car is so brilliantly engineered it probably just gives it an instant full charge, lol.

$kaycog is very anal when it comes to exhaust systems.

That fart can exhaust sounds like crap.

I'm in tears laughing!!!

Great main pic. What's really beautiful is watching a brand new manifold and exhaust colouring in when you fire up the engine. Watching the colours swirl along the pipes is amazing. And it can tell you how the engine is running.

Wrong. I'm more than twice your age and happen to be an engineer with over 20 years of experience. Welcome to the field, son. Lesson 1: Don't take everything people say so seriously.

If the Eurocopter X-3 is the fastest helicopter in the world, what was the Bell Model 533? It went 316 mph in 1969. Also, the Lockheed XH-51 compound went 300 mph in 1967. Eurocrapter just matched this nearly 50-year-old feat.

*not a helicopter.

There's good reason he was nicknamed Colin McRash. He was a massively talented driver who's ethos was foot flat to the floor and deal with any issues as they come. As such he crashed loads

Now playing

Found it. Cyprus Rally 2002. Colin McRae rolls his Focus WRC. Fixes it. Carries on. Colin McRae rolls his Focus WRC AGAIN. Fixes it. Carries on AGAIN. Finishes the rally in 6th place

i have a feeling its beacause of the rather thick sidewalls the car has, saved it from having the edges of the wheels scoop into the grass and dirt, slipped nicely sideways

Actually this is much more similar to rally racing than trackdays or autocross due to trees, rocks and etc. And in rally you're required to have your windows up to reduce intrusions into the cockpit. I can attest that I was glad my windows were shut when my RX-7 rolled into some trees at a hill climb in Colorado.
