Why do hyperlinks completely fuck up comments now? Let’s try that again:

Interesting. Back in December a Japan Airlines 777-200 suffered an uncontained engine failure like the one leaving Denver, and literally hours before this most recent incident a 747-400 cargo plane had an uncontained failure over the Netherlands. All 4 of these incidents involve Pratt & Whitney PW4000-series engines

I think the biggest difference is a lot of the crazy shit coming out of Japan has an incredibly high attention to detail and as outrageous as they are there’s usually a high level of care put into it, whereas the weird shit from the US are usually half finished and made entirely out of bondo and spot welds.

This looks like one of those turn-of-the-century Ford concept cars that’s been tuned by Leh Keen and Elephant Racing. Very interesting combination of styles.

That 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque goes through a GM 8L90-E eight-speed automatic transmission and a heavy-duty transfer case. Four-wheel-drive works with just a twist of a dial.

Okay why does my comment look all fucky now? It was fine when I posted it. Let me try to fix that.

Polyphony made a concerted effort to improve with GT Sport and in the process snagged Mike Caviezel away from Turn 10 a few years ago. He was Audio Lead on Forza 1 through 4 and is now Senior Audio Lead at Polyphony. Since then Gran Turismo’s audio has improved dramatically and Forza’s has noticeably dropped off.

It’s such a small detail but I was thinking the exact same thing.

I love how the red gullwing sedan was basically a Tesla

and the size of those canard mud-flap things on the front are comical

Now playing

What the actual fuck is this game? It’s a visual novel only it has racing sequences including the ability to upgrade your vehicle, but then it hits you with a Tetris-style minigame where an apathetic Bart Simpson clone stares at you, and then finally throws in a traffic control game just for shits and giggles.

Honda tried to invite non-riders to its motorcycles a couple of more times with the DN-01 and NM4. These even had automatic transmissions, but sold in small numbers just like the PC800. The DN-01 may be familiar to Grand Theft Auto V players as the Thrust.

Absolutely

I used to flex on other players online by winning Stunt Run events in a chrome Inferno Van. Those were the days...

Project Cars 2 was announced just a little over a month after Project Cars 1 released. I’m really not surprised by this move.

They’re gonna have to start braking halfway down the straights though.

Now playing

Loosing the Yeet Chicane on Trail Mountain is one of the greatest travesties in racing games.

Little Big Dream Car sounds like the Little Big Planet-Gran Turismo crossover I never knew I wanted.
