1. Open wheel regulations. There’s a reason just about every plane covers or retracts their wheels. It’s a fucking dumb artifact of the 1955 F1 season.

It’s a racing program funded by marketing. The engineers and drivers are the interesting part. I don’t give a shit about Red Bull's canned piss water either.
Yup, just as the Toyota Tacoma was basically a GTP Eagle underneath. Thanks to VW for not pretending this was a shitbox rally car.
EV gets a lot of the credit (I do think the advantages of electric are probably worth it at Pikes Peak), but the I.D. R aero package is what got most of the job done. It’s the first car that really looks like it not only makes the downforce, but with a good L:D ratio. Lots of plan area also, in leiu of going with a…
I dunno, the Isle Of Man TT is the goddamn reaper year-after-year and that still goes on.
This is the only one that I know of. The unlimited page in the rule book is hilarious. It’s like:
Man, what a gorgeous and sinister looking machine.
My 4K monitor facepalms at these.
A if an old Ford Focus (and ugly face) hasn’t kept me sexless enough, I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t help, haha!
Even all those pieces that shattered off? Just wondering how they knew how much that particular car weight to the pound.
3,347 lbs. Did they collect all the debris to get such an exact weight? Why did they convert it into imperial units?
Let’s go all-in and pretend it’s still 1982 so I can describe this as “gaytarded” without it being universally offense.
What happened to calming the fuck down about this mutually assured destruction stuff?
Why do drag racers put anything other than the lightest and most aerodynamically efficient shell on them? I’ve never understood the theater of “brand” in these purpose built race cars.
1. Grimes’ music is way the fuck overrated.

This. They’re either too cheap (worrisome) with too many miles, or way too much with too few. There’s seemingly no middle ground. I guess the Focus will have to hang on a little longer...
Why is the Cayman’s cockpit still stupidly oversized/misproportioned? Are American’s heads fatter now (like literally, not figuratively). God they look so bad on an otherwise half-way decent looking car.
We didn’t get the Gen 1 cars here in ‘Murica. It was a miracle we even got the Gen 2s.
Bill Hicks was 100% right about what sales and marketing people should do.
