To me the funny thing is that Bottas and Merc seemed willing to treat is as a racing incident, but young Russell was intent on assigning blame while thinking himself blameless.

Have you ever gone to a rally? Outside of the works teams it’s full of amateur rich guys (not all of them old) just having fun doing their hobby.

IMO racing incident, but if we absolutely needed to assign blame then Russel was definitely at fault. Bottas left him enough room, but he spooked and put his wheel on the grass. Watch Driver61's analysis of the crash looking at on-board.

That’s perfectly valid, and IMO certainly keeps the series playing field more level.

Having a spec battery in Formula E seems counterintuitive if the goal is to develop and promote EVs.

Why was someone manually entering a serial number if it was already encoded in a barcode? Just scanning the tires would have prevented this kind of error.

Would like to see how much fuel their fast charger consumes over the course of the event, and how it compares to the amount of fuel an equivalent ICE equipped car would have used.

Colin Fucking McRae won the WDC even when Subaru was working *against* him!

And aside from the minivan they’re basically all crossovers.

Coming soon to Florida: An all-Mustang Cars and Coffee on the parking lot just next to any ongoing protests.

Interestingly the article says that plane was also just restored. Maybe someone should have told the pilot to take it easy (like shaking down a newly built car) instead of going straight for a loop.

There are a bunch of racing RX-7s with livery that quite resemble Gundam colors.

Peak design was definitely late 60s to early 70s, peak performance is more recently with stuff like the 1LE, GT350 and GT500, but that’s obviously a moving target and there’s no doubt that future stuff will be even faster.

Probably not the best restoration job they could have done, considering engine failure was the reason pilot had to ditch the plane.

With 500hp on tap it becomes much harder to modulate even if, say, you can control the throttle in 10 steps.

I’m betting that it’ll outsell the outgoing M3/M4.

Does the S4 version of the V8 have the beefier timing chain guides or did you need the RS4 for that?

You need a posher convertible! I suppose we all remember the end of this bit of Jeremy Clarkson’s Top Gear:

Would this make a good first bike? Asking for a friend.

Definitely this lol. A stuck open sunroof is not gonna be much fun once the weather rolls in.
