6 episode docudrama on Francois Cevert 

@alanis this piece is great and exactly what needed to be said.

Does this REALLY help change the point though?

They’re cutouts where I believe inserts used to go to make more downforce. The floor goes really far forward like that to protect against wheels-interlocking between cars, but having that much floor created a ton of downforce they wanted to shed off the cars for the superspeedways, so hence the holes.

I saw the nose of the Quaker State Porsche Indycar in there!

The Hybrid F-150 feature of being a mobile generator is the real winner here. They’re the largest producer of trucks for fleets, and now those fleets can run welders, grinders, drills, floodlights, anything that requires high voltage or current, directly off of their truck without also having to tow another generator…

Cash may be tight, but Doing a DPi program, especially with an existing GT3 engine, is an order of magnitude (or two) less than a current LMP1 program, and North America is a huge market for them. Though I still wouldn’t put a lot of money on them jumping into DPi, I have a feeling that for the Audi higher-ups, if…

I’d have to check the laptimes from some of the SRO races they’ve done, but I’m pretty sure these things have to be “downgraded” to GT3 spec, since they have so much downforce.

After buying a nice $10k example, he’ll have plenty left over for timing belts, head gaskets, wheel bearings, ref sensors, fuel pumps, CV-bolts, clutch master cylinders, distributors, and rod bearings!

This clip was like that first cool, crisp, life-giving sip of water after staggering through a barren desert. I’ve missed them so much.

I thought Austin was limiting everyone to “NOTHING, YOU GET NOTHING, GOOD DAY SIR!”

Let us never forget Porsche 944 Turbo Cup:

Because a P2 car without bodywork is “entirely custom made”

The TV Broadcast was unbearable at the end, they had NO IDEA what was going on, and sounded like emotionless robots. All I could think was that John Hindhaugh would be losing his MIND, if it had been him in the booth for that finish, to the point where everyone watching on TV would be on their feet cheering.

This is more exciting to me than the Veyron 2.0 from yesterday

There SHOULD be a kill switch, yeah. But I’m thinking these probably use small, dry friction-plate style clutches

beat me to it

It looks like something Singer should definely offer on their 911 restomods if they don’t already.

I feel like the Caution Clock is NASCAR’s way of finding out how to work in “TV Timeouts” into their races for even MORE commercials. They just want to try it out in the lower series first.

Panoz Abruzzi anyone?
