Comparable but not the same. A well maintained engine will run essentially forever, and you can rebuild the engine/transmission.

Gasoline is way safer than lithium ion batteries. It’s a traditional fire that needs fuel oxygen and spark. Take away any one of the three and fire goes out.

A lithium ion battery in thermal runaway has all three contained within the enclosure, which is why firefighters have no choice but to immerse the whole thing in…

I’m sure you can change the local textures so it looks different to yourself, but it’s still gonna have the standard livery for everybody else.

CD 0.25. Pretty good, but it’s got nothing on the Schlörwage.

440 reported as of November:

lol and if their victim didn’t hand over his keys he’d very likely also have been a casualty of “comply or die”.

So many stories of young drivers, fast cars, and bodies of water.

Let’s not forget that Senna did it twice! He lost the championship by getting DQ’d in ‘89, but won it in ‘90.

It feels like someone looked at the awful one-lap qualifying format of the early 2000s and said, Let’s design a track for that!

Don’t forget to thank the dude who designed the circuit for coming up with a race track that virtually guarantees red flags and safety cars.

To be fair to the FIA, both Senna and Schumacher lost one championship each from deploying the yield or crash tactic.

It absolutely was “sudden braking”. The full text of the steward’s decision is available on: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/full-fia-stewards-verdict-verstappen-saudi-gp-f1-penalty/6854890/

Bummer. On a scale of 1 to Jeremy Clarkson, how bad are you when it comes to choosing when to buy/sell cars?

Keiichi Tsuchiya hated the way the new NSX drives on track. On the road it’s ok, but on track and at the limit the fancy electronics make it unpredictable and generally not fun.

AFAIK it’s based on the PDK gearbox, just modified to become a manual. There’s an article somewhere explaining how the shift rods tie up to the gear sets, but it’s just as confusing as Torch’s decals.

Porsche 7MT needs some love confusion too

Not surprising at all if you think about it.

It took me until yesterday to realize that the Alpine team is the same Renault team that Alonso won his two WDCs with. I wonder if some of the guys who were there with him in ‘05-06 are still around.

That is insane. I found a report with video showing the new river channel running through the town:
