They are going to reduce the overall downforce on the cars next year or the year after, that will reduce the benefits of the tow.  But, ultimately?  No, not really.

I think this sums it up.

If you want to make a habit if the drive in, invest in a Bluetooth speaker with an FM tuner built in. Bring folding chairs of some sort and a blanket or sheets to keep warmth in and bugs away and enjoy a movie under the stars.

I know that Gio’s wheel came loose, but at the same time, after the impact, you can see a moment when Russell’s wheel starts to come up over the nose of the car and doesn’t, presumably because of the tethers. I agree it could be better, there is always room for improvement, especially when it comes to safety.

Just because someone doesn’t mind fixing your assholery does not change the fact that it is assholery. The factor of someone maybe taking some joy from fixing your laziness does not counterbalance the potential issues the act creates in potential damage to others’ cars, increased contact in a period we are trying to…

That’s exactly what I was expecting given the ‘Touring’ in the headline, I thought that maybe they’d released a version with less of the boy racer flare, but all the fun under a less shouty exterior.  Oh well.

Headline image question: What goes here?

I felt that at the previous events, all personnel at the venue were supposed to be masked. I’m just really hope this is an intended behavior and not people just getting lax in the measures put in place to allow the sport to continue this year.

Marshals dropping in to say hi to Albon, no masks in sight.

Does this mean Mission Winnow is actually Mission Wininacoupleyears?  Mission Winlater?

I live up in the northeast, AWD is a must, which means highway MPG estimate is 31 for the 530i, and the torque dip would be quite noticeable. Also, my non-quarantine daily commute is ~60 miles, so it’s not like I could make my daily drive on battery power alone.

550d isn't available in the US and the 530e only does 31 miles on electric, has 100 ft/lb. Less, and the batteries take up fuel tank space, so the overall range is only ~350 miles.

I have a 535d. I have to travel for work fairly often (before the quarantine). That I6 diesel delivers 255 hp, 420 ft/lb and on the long highway drives, 38+ mpg. It means, on long drives, I can go 600 miles without having to stop. It means I can overtake at highway speeds very easily, as that torque just applies a…

I don’t recall if it quite makes your 5 hour limit, but I beat Bastion in a weekend when I first picked it up.

Those jack stands look to be under the axle, which would still permit suspension flex.

The Sport’s configurator is up, starts @ $26,660.

Yyeah, Seb still thinks those championships were all his work. Overlooking the detail that he screwed his team mate by ignoring team orders more than once and robbing Webber of at least one title in there.  He has always been a bad team member, and with that in mind, nobody I'd going to hire him as a number 2 driver,…

You don’t want the Swiss Army Knife, you want the Swede! Keep an eye out for an XC60 in T5 trim. Style and comfort to spare, FWD to use less fuel, spacious but not massive, and very few people have any distinct opinion about them.  Less pretentious than the German marques, classier than the Japanese and American…

Imagine the TruckBro fatality rate when those driving lifted trucks look over and down, see Tesla-guy getting an automated beej and freak out for whatever reason, over-correct and pirouette past the pearly gates...

As someone who owned a TDI Golf and always wanted them to make one with AWD, these numbers appeal to me.
