    Based on the fact that it’s still on the F1 Academy car in that photo, we’ll probably still see it driven by Hamda al Qubaisi this weekend.

    Truly peak Jalop from another day and age.

    The engine fits just fine in the GT300 Supras.

    This isn’t the first time they’ve used the 2UR in the Supra. The Super GT GT300 class Supras also use the same engine.

    That’s the new regulations at work. Red Bull has less wind tunnel/CFD time thanks to the ATR, and then they’re also hitting the cost cap, meaning they can’t throw more money to try to do a big fix to the car.

    But was it brown, and manual?

    I don’t get the hate this is getting. This is the closest the Mustang has ever been to the old “race on Sunday, sell on Monday,” what with it borrowing so much from the GT3 car, and even being built by the same people (Multimatic).

    The power isn’t the issue. It’s the modifications required to make something close to what is basically a roadgoing FIA GT3 car.

    Now playing

    The Maserati Quattroporte V, because this is, as far as we know, the only sports sedan who’s exhaust note has been scientifically proven to be an aphrodisiac.

    Yes and no. While a homologation car in the old sense is no longer necessary, the cars still have to go through a homologation process and having things on the base car makes having them on the racecar much easier to homologate. As free as GT3 is, it’s still not as free as something like JAF GT300 (hence the GT300

    The $300,000 “we swear it’s not a homologation special” Mustang.

    Same video in uncut form also has Alonso looking back under his car, so it might just be a case of him wonder what McLaren are doing that Aston isn’t.

    FIA already clarified that no team was using asymmetric braking. And Peter Windsor is far from the most reliable source for things like this.

    It’s Germany, so it’s more likely that someone will go out and make sure that those spots are exactly 28 meters apart.

    Missing the bit that the old Mirage was actually the Lancer and was technically a class above where the current one is. 

    Because the beds aren’t meant specifically to stop people from getting it on. They’re rated for up to 440 lbs after all (one British diver even posted a video of himself jumping around on it). They’re more about sustainability and being able to dispose of the beds once the games are done.

    Fanatec’s horrible customer service probably made all the money they spent on sponsorships the best advertising their competitors have ever had since the moment you stepped into the r/fanatec subreddit, or similar sim racing spaces, you’d be told to “get a Moza instead.”

    “Relatively” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that statement.

    If anything, Max had a lot to be angry about with all that’s going on with Red Bull’s internal politics (Newey leaving, Marko and Horner feuding, etc.). This, on top of the fact they not only seemingly bungled strategy, but their extensive upgrades for the weekend did not seem to have worked at all.

    Yeah, but that gap doesn’t have to exist and more than a few stations in metro subway systems around the world fully separate with PSDs plus dividers above them.
