Um, it’s actually the Porsches that are catching on fire on the road now.

I’m merely stating he is the best in his sport today

argh, you’re right

Could listen to him forever.

That’s right—Level 5 autonomy on public roads by the end of next year.

No we doesn’t

How does the SCG003 fulfill the requirements for garage 56? Apart from being a prototype (to some degree), it’s a normal race car.

It’s not that easy. Germany’s land mass is small, but they have the population of Texas, California and New York combined, the three biggest US states by population. According to this, there are 125m passenger vehicles registered in the US, compared to 44m in Germany (link).

You are right that this isn’t the whole story. However, car thefts in northeastern Germany involving gangs from Poland are a problem.

You find a lot of cars with foreign plates on German streets. It’s mainly the usual transit traffic from one European country to another, which is very high in Germany due to its central location. But apart from that, especially those people with fast cars like it there.

Maybe, but maybe not. The clock is right twice a day but we know for sure it’s broken. The Volvo engineer still could be right. Just saying it’s confirmation bias doesn’t prove him wrong.

There is no such thing as balance of performance in LMP1. What Enginerrrrrrrrr mentioned are the technical regulations, but they are the same for everyone. it’s not like an individual team will get a nerf if they are 5 seconds quicker than the rest.
