Efficiency extracts common sense.

Blood lowers the coefficient of drag while doing a burnout...as every liquid does. Water is good. Bleach is better. Blood even better-er.

Great post.

Love your writing.

Not easy to dampen a tire as it is a chassis.

My point exactly. The pups in every department aren’t necessarily car people. Give them proper benchmarks and history and they have a lesser tendency to screw things up.

The ring does this better. Many track conditions on one track. Many competitors under the same conditions to benchmark against.

Isn’t about the lap times at all. Most metrics for power to weight etc are mapped out well in advance. Track testing is one of the final measures to fine tune it for better behavior

Anyone that is a driver appreciates exactly this. From the cheapest to most expensive cars.

I’m a firm believer in everyone having a hand in the product should experience. Fun to drive cars is a big plus, but let’s face it....so many people at car companies couldn’t give a shit less. Engineering, hr, production, purchasing, logistics, and many levels of management for each.

Of all the fucking cars.... let me pick the one that is so flexible it will tire squeal traversing the grocery store parking lot lanes at 10kph.

Driving into work today in my daily ‘04 TL . I see a very bad ass M4 Black with black wheels. I kept my eye on it passing and later being passed. The headlights...the tires so wide.... It stayed in my conscious for 2 full minutes. We both pass an E46 335 series convertible....also black, but faded scratchy paint. …
