The stage winner that day was Nasser Al Attiyah in a factory-backed Toyota entry, running a time of one hour seventeen and a half minutes. Ken Block basically jumped into a brand new vehicle he’d never driven before, albeit one with 750 lb/ft of torque and a 3600 pound race-weight, and ran an unfamiliar stage without…

Not really, using the road book is much more orienteering than WRC style co-driving. 

“First I’m going to over the various quirks and features of this secret Jaguar supercar, then, I’m going to take it on the road, and drive it.”

Fancy Kristen locks stuff because she's paranoid about what the poors would do. Imagine sitting in a car seat where a poor person sat in? Might as well have the car crushed at that point. 

I leave it unlocked because I park it inside my garage, which is actually used for the car, and not just storing stuff.

I mean, if anything were ever stolen, you can just hit up David Tracy and demand that he give whatever rusty bits and bobs he stole back. 

It's not that they wanted the brake and turn signals visible when the tailgate is up, it's that it's probably illegal to have them otherwise. At the very least, brake lights cannot be mounted on any moving surface (it's why the USDM Ferrari California had brakelights on the bumper - the round lights tgat served such…

I can't be the only one reminded of the Witcher 3's "Killing Monsters" trailer by that fight scene? 

Also so that you can start it without having to have hot water flowing through it overnight.

How long before Mercedes, McLaren, or Ferrari (or maybe even Red Bull via Aston) put out cars like these, and secretly use their development to get more testing time for their actual Formula 1 cars?

Well of course, flashy wheels are a big part of the VIP aesthetic. 

Engineers only hate it until they can get it to work in their favor. Hence what we see now where they’re using it as part of the suspension, and using the deformation as part of the aerodynamics (fun fact, the proposed 2020 tyres were rejected because they affected the aero differently). 

You know that, if the teams somehow figured out how to extract some sort of aero advantage from those, they’d use them in a heartbeat.

Is this how Fancy Kristen rolls her joints?

In fairness, China isn’t much of a loss. Shanghai tends to produce boring races.

Since that opens up a slot. Move the race over to Sepang in Malaysia. I mean, that’s the track that Shanghai is trying to emulate anyway.

You won’t as wheel covers are returning in 2021.

This won’t cost much. The mules will most likely be built with spares from the existing cars, or out of the spare car (most teams have at least 1 spare car on top of the two cars used over the weekend).

It’s interesting that the newer artstyles tend to be flatter, especially with skin, yet at the same time, the stockings actually get more volume with their shading.

But can he do it to a turboed 1/2JZ or RB? I hear Noriyaro wants either his JZX or the Beercan Skyline to sound like that.
