    But was it brown, and manual?

    I don’t get the hate this is getting. This is the closest the Mustang has ever been to the old “race on Sunday, sell on Monday,” what with it borrowing so much from the GT3 car, and even being built by the same people (Multimatic).

    The power isn’t the issue. It’s the modifications required to make something close to what is basically a roadgoing FIA GT3 car.

    The Maserati Quattroporte V, because this is, as far as we know, the only sports sedan who’s exhaust note has been scientifically proven to be an aphrodisiac.

    Yes and no. While a homologation car in the old sense is no longer necessary, the cars still have to go through a homologation process and having things on the base car makes having them on the racecar much easier to homologate. As free as GT3 is, it’s still not as free as something like JAF GT300 (hence the GT300

    The $300,000 “we swear it’s not a homologation special” Mustang.

    Same video in uncut form also has Alonso looking back under his car, so it might just be a case of him wonder what McLaren are doing that Aston isn’t.

    FIA already clarified that no team was using asymmetric braking. And Peter Windsor is far from the most reliable source for things like this.

    It’s Germany, so it’s more likely that someone will go out and make sure that those spots are exactly 28 meters apart.

    Missing the bit that the old Mirage was actually the Lancer and was technically a class above where the current one is. 

    Because the beds aren’t meant specifically to stop people from getting it on. They’re rated for up to 440 lbs after all (one British diver even posted a video of himself jumping around on it). They’re more about sustainability and being able to dispose of the beds once the games are done.

    Fanatec’s horrible customer service probably made all the money they spent on sponsorships the best advertising their competitors have ever had since the moment you stepped into the r/fanatec subreddit, or similar sim racing spaces, you’d be told to “get a Moza instead.”

    “Relatively” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that statement.

    If anything, Max had a lot to be angry about with all that’s going on with Red Bull’s internal politics (Newey leaving, Marko and Horner feuding, etc.). This, on top of the fact they not only seemingly bungled strategy, but their extensive upgrades for the weekend did not seem to have worked at all.

    Yeah, but that gap doesn’t have to exist and more than a few stations in metro subway systems around the world fully separate with PSDs plus dividers above them.

    But the point is they can be made to fully separate the air from the train and the station. For example, this photo from the Raffles Place Station in Singapore’s MRT (and most stations over there, at least from my own experience last time I was there some time back).

    Or, they could install full height platform screen doors, like what almost any other subway in a a first-world city in the rest of the world has.

    Serious answer? No. Mostly because the V10s (and inline 5s) are able to hit what is music theory is called a major third, and human brains are somehow wired to like major thirds.

    This isn’t just bad engineering, it could be incredibly dangerous if say, a kid were to get stuck in the frunk and the Cybertruck lose power.

    Is Fernando Alonso Cooler Than James Bond Now?
