Your student was sorta wrong - for a few reasons. Drift cars may have a lot more negative camber in the front, but they usually run as close to zero camber in the rear.

The Urus is the one I understand the least and I sort of don’t like it.

It seems to me like one would be better served to buy a cayenne turbo. Similar size, same chassis, etc. But the Cayenne likely handles better, has tested to a 0-60 of 3.5 seconds, and the combined rating isn’t that far off (17 vs 19.4).

You can interpret the rule as a ban on rotaries but it wouldn’t change that your conclusion is based on a rule that resulted in a side effect on rotaries and that rotaries were not the root cause of the rule. After all, why would they right a rule to ban rotaries 12 years after they last ran? So while they were…

That did not occur until 2014 and it was not for the purposes of banning rotaries. It likely had more to do with electrical powerplants. It also served as a means to clearly define what sort of engines they wished to include in the series without ambiguity. Also, several exceptions were since made after that point in…

The 905 was an exceptional car. It might not have won le mans in 1991, but it came in second for the overall team world championship.

He’s the worst.

I was unaware of the 2014 rule change excluding rotaries. I assume the attempt was less a means to ban rotaries and more of an attempt to more clearly define what engines they wanted to limit teams to.

Yup. Shame too. I mean, LMP turned out to be pretty awesome, but group C was something else.

It was never banned. It’s a myth. Look up the Kudzu cars. The DLM4 raced in LMP in 1997 for crying out loud.

They weren’t. It’s a myth. They continued to race in other classes and even competed in LMP, the highest class at the time, in 1997.

The engine itself was never really banned the way some believe.

Yup. But the myth just won't die. I mean, Mazda continued to race the rotary in the GTS class and then even LMP! It was never ever banned and the notion that it was banned is completely ridiculous

That is 100% false. I suggest you look up why they actually changed the engine requirements.

They were never actually banned. That’s a myth. The class they raced in did, for a brief time, require a specific engine - but the purpose wasn’t to ban rotaries.

That is hideous. What makes it even more sad is that the interior appears to be decent for the first time.

I completely forgot that generation GC had a solid front axle and I had a 98 5.9 limited! My mind is slipping.

Weaker chassis that is more prone to flex. They also tend to leak and creak. You can mitigate the leaking by maintaining the connections and gaskets, but they just aren’t nearly as tight as the coupes.

I disagree
