Do they ever go well for the lock?

I think he has already done a video on one of those. It didn’t go well...for the lock.

You can see the tire coming apart before he reaches the Apex. Also, the outside tire blew.

I think he blew it because he went into the turn too close to the grass berm trying to cut the corner.

I dunno man.....BTCC cars have a shitload of camber. He was pulling almost 2Gs in some corners. The high camber may be the only way they can turn the wheel at slower speeds from likely anti-ackerman steering geometry. Just one thought though.

Yeah, my first reaction was ‘well held!’

He french fried when he should have pizza’d.

Yeah. I was very much expecting it to get lift while sideways and start rolling. This was much better than I expected.

One would hope not, so why do it just for the picture in the first place?  It looks terrible!

Same, I was expecting a rollover.

I’m guessing that picture is not an accurate representation of the setup of this exact car

So two things. First, the driver backed out of the throttle then stabbed it a couple times immediately after. I’m not sure why, unless he just wasn’t sure what was happening and was trying to keep the rear from stepping out due to completely jumping off the gas mid-corner.

The percentage of rollovers that result in deaths isn’t really the point of this article (the point of this article is the extent to which car makers go to avoid making their cars safer) nor the point of this conversation (whether people who are reckless deserve to die).

I’m not wishing for anything. I am pointing out the flaws in your argument. I think if you can make something safer to mitigate the catastrophic consequences of human recklessness, that is preferable to just letting people die. Put another way, you can’t force people to never ever be reckless, but you can design…

Be careful what you wish for lest we all be saddled with 45hp highly monitored transportation pods.

Most welcome. From a technical perspective it's interesting to me, and the midfield battle is often good, but the dominance of Mercedes lowers the stakes and the interest somewhat.

Thank you! My love for F1 has dwindled from collecting autographs in 1965 to “What did they do now?”. 

The issue isn’t that the ducts are the same per se, but rather the timing of when RP first used them.

Having spent a few decades in aerospace machining, I’d like to hear more about the criteria that the FIA used to make their decision. If the parts aren’t dimensionally identical and if MB didn’t apply some novel principle then I don’t see a case.
