I hate how any form of just losing the back end is “drifting” now. I mean, if we’re being pedantic, a drift refers to a very specific kind of oversteer around a corner – basically, oversteer on corner entry, doing it on exit is a powerslide which is different.

It all comes down to what the focus of the rail network is. Europe focused its rail networks on passenger transport, whereas the US has largely ignored passenger rail, so freight benefitted.

I believe this is standard for Dakar, or at least for T1 class vehicles as the Prodrive Hunter has it as well.

This isn’t exclusive to the Audi and is standard on equipment on rally raid trucks now.

Not really. If you look at it and the Hunter, it’s just the standard layout for a T1 that isn’t trying to look like a pickup truck now.

There’s the whole debacle that was the 2023 Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

If I had the money (and lived in the US), I’d buy it, paint it yellow, and put Zakspeed stickers all over it.

And they actually did quite well, much to Zakspeed’s delight and the Nurburgring 24's organizers chagrin.

That, and Chrysler knew they didn’t have something with quite the same sporting heritage so they just outright copied from other automakers. Then VP Chris Theodore basically told his design teams to “steal” heritage from other automakers saying “Let’s see what else we can pillage, We don’t have any heritage of our…

In that case, my disappointment will be immeasurable and my day will be indubitably ruined.

That’s not how the franchise sports financial model works. Making sure a team like Haas actually still makes money and is rising in valuations benefits the other teams as it helps justify their even higher valuations. If Gene eventually says he’ll sell for a billion dollars, no other Team Principal is going to…

The problem is Gene being content with just sitting on the grid using the cars as billboards for his CNC machines while also earning money due to F1 teams’ rising valuations.

Given that the internet as we know it wasn’t a thing at the time, it’s likely the 33 was simply not in mind when he saw the Sera.

As of this reply, there are three separate comments about the 1007. Definitely an egregious ommission.

This list is missing the Peugeot 1007 and it’s front sliding doors.

Even if it’s smaller than what’s on the rest of the range, that kidney grille still looks like a different company trying to look like a BMW than an actual BMW.
