A small addition/correction: road wear is proportional to the 4th power of the axle load. A 2400 kg EV induces 5.1x the road wear compared to a 1600 kg ICE SUV (and >500.000x compared to a cyclist).

It’s a reference to eating ortolans. From Wikipedia:
To clarify: in France (and most of Europe), there’s priorité à droite (priority to the right) at unmarked intersections.
It’s decent, good even, but very good seems like a stretch. The “hero” cars they buy have nearly no relevance to the rest of the episode as there’s no central narrative thread, the different bits are uneven and either too short (propeller car) or too long (rallycross). Most egregious of all, one of the sketches is…
Depends on what you call high speed. Up to 160 kph you can pretty much mix and match high speed, intercity, freight and regional, as long as you can deal with lower capacity due to mismatched commercial speeds.
Once you’re at 200+ and especially at 300+ kph, track tolerances become so tight you wouldn’t want heavy…
The issue with gravel traps is that they don’t really slow cars down all that much, especially the lightweight, flat bottomed ones just skip across. Gasly’s crash in Monza today was yet another example; an asphalt runoff would’ve allowed him to effectively hit the brakes, remain some semblance of grip and avoid the…
Thing is, Spa has no money to refund anymore. By running those two laps, F1 made sure Spa has to pay the full hosting fee. Domenicali and Masi are full of shit claiming there were no commercial interests in their decision to run. There really is nothing to talk about: F1 refunds Spa, so Spa can refund the fans.
The main reason the 911 sells way better than the NSX is the Porsche badge and brand recognition.
Size comparison with the NC, by the looks of it. Confusing and unnecessary to say the least, as the cutaway picture can also be found without the dimensions on it.
There’s no way anyone is averaging 29 mpg in their ND MX-5. Not sure what they do in the US, but both NEDC and WLTP peg it at 6,9 l/100 km, which a lot of people still beat in real, everyday driving. I assume naturally aspirated cars with short gearing just test badly.
Yeah, my ND averaged 35.1 mpg over 13,000 miles (well, 6,7 l/100 km over 21.000 km, but know your audience). Best tank was 42 mpg, worst 28 mpg, but that was averaging 100ish mph on the Autobahn for almost a full tank, with peaks up to top speed (GPS indicated 142 mph on a slight downhill).
All signs seem to point towards a mild hybrid for the NE, but I’d be so up for a full EV MX-5. The engine is the least inspiring part of the current package anyway (granted, the gearshift is pretty amazing...). 300 km of range in a 1200 kg package would do nicely.
Bad publicity is still publicity. - Me, a Belgian.
Back in 2013-ish, Belgium was in the running for the new Tesla factory, though I doubt they ever got to the stage of selecting the actual location (Ford Genk or one of the many industrial zones with space to spare). As all multinationals do, Tesla shopped around for the best deal (lowest local tax rate and highest…
The first line is after the pit lane, the second before it. So there’s a maximum time limit for everything but the front straight.
You’d have to give all Q3 participants another set of tires too at that point, or the extra shot at a fast lap wouldn’t be anywhere near pole anyway.

Road deterioration is proportional to the 4th power of relative (axle) loads. A single 9000 lbs vehicle does 8 times the damage of two 4500 lbs vehicles.
Rail is a lot quicker than sea freight, so I don’t know where they got their numbers from. China - EU by freight train is somewhere between 12-20 days, depending on the end point; sea freight is 25-40 days through Suez.
The hints are on the number plates.
