I think it’s a proportion thing. You should really see if you fit in it. Your limbs may be proportionally different to your torso than the people talked to in this article.

Eh, Cleetus Mcfarland is 6'6 and didn’t seem to have an issue. Said he had more leg room and better headroom than the C7.

Another reviewer (Cleetus McFarland) is something like 6'6" and says he fits much pretty well in the C8; even more so compared to the C7, but not quite as well as the C6.

I’m sure there is a many-page-long power point on some Merc engineer’s computer demonstrating that steering and suspension are two very different and in no way linked no way no how no ifs and or buts about it systems.

It might just be simple hydraulics, the question is what is the piston pushing against (the hub directly or something in the suspension). It could also be a bit of a false flag in that it is simple, but might not be used often so other teams will focus time on replicating while MB has already moved on.

From the info that I can find, nothing. It wasn’t revolutionary, or special in any particular way. It was just a damn good car, and that just can’t be tolerated. Ray Evernham said “It was just a really well-built race car that Jeff Gordon decided to put his foot to the floor at the height of his career and just smoked…

If you read “How to Build a Car” by Adrian Newey, he talks extensively about how this is always happening, and how the interpretation of the rules is varying when the language of the rule is ambiguous. If the FIA bans it, they can’t make it stick until next season, assuming that they agree that the rule is ambiguous…

Isn’t that why the T-Rex car in NASCAR was banned?  It would have driven up the costs for every other team by trying to replicate it?

A motor racing team is interpreting the rules creatively.

*rulebooking intensifies*

Serious can mean constant monitoring for a brain swell, I don’t know what his condition was but when I was rear ended by a semi truck I was in the ICU and in serious condition until they were sure I wasn’t going to have any brain swelling or bleeding. Once they were sure I was in the clear I was released in a few…

I find this nothing short of astounding. He got hit in one of the most vulnerable places on the cage after he had already taken one hell of a nose dive into the barrier. The fact that he’s alive, let alone walking out of the hospital less than 48 hours after the accident....holy fuck. Someone give these safety…

Holy shit, a race team folded due to lack of funding. That’s unprecedented.

It doesn’t look like the team folded because it was not competitive, but mostly because the sponsor bailed out at the last minute and no one else jumped in.

I understand the gravity behind the situation, I think. But isn’t fielding an exclusively female team the definition of a gimmick?

Leave it to a Caterpillar team to fall apart...

The Taycan purchase is not a surprise. Bill is a Porsche fan and also owns a freaking 959, which instantly grants him all kinds of cred that no amount of tweeting can undo.

IDK every time I hear Musk talk, it’s pretty underwhelming. 

Bill: “I bought an EV, I love my EV, these are still the downsides to EVs.”

if you can get the little electric bunny going, I think the dog’s got a shot.
