8 year old me wasn’t able to buy a Countach. That didn’t stop Lamborghini from putting it on my Trapper Keeper.

They need to reimagine the car design at some point because the old design is just slapping stuff on and making it heavier.

It’ll be interesting if they’ll return to fat tyres or try to retain the low profile ones. One of the reasons they moved to 18-inch wheels was because the tyre deformation was affecting the aero and creating dirty air, which some teams were also trying to take advantage of.

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.

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.
