Except Hypercar/GTP does have downforce limit via its 4:1 downforce to drag ratio.

It does not bend space and time when it accelerates.

A friend’s father once told me he had a C2-generation Corvette “with an experimental Can Am motor” that turned a lap at Indy “fast enough for pole” that year.

There is at least one 1965 Corvette Grand Sport is known to have been modified with a Can-Am spec ZL1 from a McLaren Can-Am car (likely the M1). But the caveat is that the same car had running gear from a C4 ZR-1. The question then is said Corvette actually turned a lap at Indy.

Interestingly enough, the developers have all stated that this wasn’t the case and that there was no bug. The theory is that it was just more memorable when Ghandi did it that it stuck to people’s minds.

The interesting thing is that the Soviet “Dead Hand” system was apparently designed to keep upper leadership from being to trigger happy, since they’d be safe knowing that they’d get to launch even if they died.

Did someone base the AI on Ghandi from Civilization?

From a reply on a post on this on Reddit by someone who claims to live in Switzherland, it might simply be due to how slow certain regulatory and governmental processes are there. So if that is the case, then it might simply be that they thought their stuff was in order and had already run it by the authorities, but…

Which is funny because when it’s actual rich people buying these things, they go for the ones without easily visible/identifiable logos, and even look down on those who do.

The American flag on the door really completes the look.

The 78% is what remains of Geely’s stake in Volvo after it sold late last year. Prior to that, it was 82%.

He’s never expressed an interest in moving until recently when suddenly he wasn’t winning races and was public about his dissatisfaction with the car.

Kinda funny how they spray the windshield and clean it off with a rag like a good old fashioned full service fill up.

In fairness, sims like these are some of the best uses cases for VR. 

Someone who knows no one else will which means it’ll fetch a higher price at auction simply for the rarity.

The 4th-gen Prelude one-upped that by not breaking the display “stripe” with A/C vents.

Pretty standard for early 90s ones though.

That tachometer that redlines at 12 o’clock is just *chef’skiss

The LF-A’s gauge cluster. Even if it is a digital LCD display, the way the round bezel moves when you switch to sport mode gives it this high-tech mechanical feel.

I loved that it looks like a tricompax chronograph watch. Event the speedometer on the “bezel” looks like something you’d see on a Rolex Daytona or Zenith El Primero.
