Racing cars usually don’t remain competitive for long. Most are out of date after only a couple of seasons. The 956/962 twins crushed all before them for 6 years before anything could match them. Its last win came *13* years from the 956's debut in the 1995 Daytona 24 Hour as a Kremer K8, with the roof chopped off and…
Yeah, in fact Gurney fell foul of that very rule in the 1966 Sebring 12H when his GT40 Mk II’s engine blew and he was DSQ’d after he pushed it across the line.
As a more serious comment: If this is the kind of track Carsten Tilke likes to design, maybe Hermann should’ve kept the condom on.
I think this is less about going after the high-end, and much more about Nintendo keeping the Switch family hardware close enough to the PS5/XSX that cross-platform games can still be backported. It takes some work and some visual downgrades but PS4/XBO multiplats *can* be ported to the Switch. That task becomes…
People saying the car isn’t in the spirit of the original seem to forget everything about the original. The OG NSX was a fucking *spaceship* in 1990, using new technology and new ways to utilize materials to create a quick sportscar that could realistically be used every day. It’s only remembered as a pure lightweight…
A fair amount of this article is incorrect. Rolf was already an established driver within the Porsche works team, having raced for them as far back as 1966. The 1976 936 was single turbocharged, and didn’t gain a second turbo until Le Mans 1977. The Le Mans story listed is not from 1976 but 1977, and the “936" that…
Had to change an alternator.
I think that was more due to RBR having a nightmarish 2015, courtesy of Renault’s hand grena...I mean engines. Remember that Kvyat had a couple of podiums when the opportunities appeared.
That’s similar to what happened to me this week. Shopping for Samus Returns Special Edition, and my local GameStop lists it as available in store. I go to the store and they tell me that the copy was a pre-order that hadn’t been picked up yet. This was fine to me, although if a game is reserved for someone should it…
Not only that, but the V6s only rev to about 12,000 RPM due to the fuel flow limiter. Frankly the engines would probably sound fine if that limit was removed, and were instead limited on overall fuel consumption for the race.
Well its a good thing the F1 has one of the best support systems for any car out there.
*Cries when looking at the Samus picture*
Welp, Ricciardo got the position. Charlie Whiting can indeed fuck off.
I wonder if the Vettel investigation will take Max’s actions into consideration. Vettel made an illegal move but he wouldn’t have been in that situation if Max hadn’t been backing him up after the turn 1 incident.
I mean, Fox has made it pretty clear that they couldn't give a shit less about WEC, or any racing that isn't NASCAR.
3 917s that year, Woolfe had his wreck and the other 2 had clutch bellhousing failures.
For the record, thats a 908 LH, not a 917. Everything else holds up though.
As much as I’m happy for Ford, call this what it is. The BoP was friggin horrible this year, the sandbagging paid off. A turbo car was always going to win this.
