It’s down to aero, as Newey and McLaren showed in 1998 (where they lapped the entire field in Australia), a longer car works better aerodynamically. Modern F1 cars have a giant spacer in between the engine and gearbox (or more accurately, the gearbox is 60+% spacer) to increase their length.

Also, is it bogged down with microtransactions like GT7?

The question isn’t just about revenue. It’s also about how it’ll affect overall team valuations. Over the past couple of seasons, team valuations skyrocketed to the point where over half the grid now have billion dollar valuations, with most being over $2 billion (and only Williams, Haas, AT and Alfa being below a…

Don’t you mean Accord Coupe?

Too bad some of the best electric mowers around aren’t legal for in the US.

Seems to be some context missing in the article. This is happening to a lot of tech companies (not just Epic) because many went on a hiring spree over the past couple of years, spurred on by low Federal interest rates. Now that the Fed is raising interest rates to try to stimy inflation, the same companies are feeling…

It’s more a crack at America than just Florida.

The railroad crossing has a stop sign, but there are no flashing lights or crossing arms to alert drivers that a train is coming. Those would normally be required by law, but the crossing in question is reportedly on private property, which means neither has to be installed.

drivers often opted against securing their safety belts until they’d gotten up to speed; the whole goal was to get out ahead of everyone else, which meant there wasn’t time for piddling little safety concerns like seatbelts.

They’re also calling “high speed” rolling stock that can only go up to 130mph (and tops out at only 125 on the tracks it’s deploted on) when “high speed” for the rest of the world is usually 155mph plus.

Can’t wait for the eventual story of some wannabe cowboy in a bro-dozer trying to threaten an autonomous truck with his rifle.

a warm place to rest its limb

The racing was mostly shit though, and the only reason you didn’t see as much dominance as we did in the past 20 years is because cars tended to break down more.

Even compared to cars from the mid-80s to late-2000s, this is still much smaller, mostly because the front crash structure was basically the drivers feet (which extended past the front axle).

the original Stig, Ben Collins.

It’s a fighting game, streaming would have been worse the moment you tried to actually play it.

Which is how you get Lance Stroll.

It’s low hanging fruit, but the first gen V12 Vanquish. Like the Quattroporte V, it was one of the first cars to feature a roboticized manual, but that really shouldn’t excuse how bad the transmission felt. What should have been an exciting sports car (and one of Ian Callum’s best designs) was hampered by a…

Why stop at muscle cars. A lot of classic exotic sports cars from that era were plagued with some of the stiffest clutch pedals known to man.

If the Evo wagons got in, then I see no reason that the Nissan Stagea Autech 260RS shouldn’t have, considering that it’s basically an R33 Skyline GT-R wagon, complete with the latter’s RB26DETT and ATTESA ET-S AWD system. The pre-facelift version is probably the ultimate sleeper, since it looks nothing like the GT-R.
