When a tire is inflated it’s usually cold, and then as the car goes around the track the temperatures (and thus pressures) will also rise, so teams have to fudge around a bit with the cold pressures to hopefully get close to the ideal warm temp for a particular track.

Majority of electrical generation is still coming from traditional power plants, and we really don’t have enough area to go all renewable on energy. EVs are just another appliance. They’re only as clean as our power sources.

Well, it is an auto shop.

Looks much better too, IMO. Stately and sedate rather than loud and shouty.

Los Lobos better be playing at the launch party

Christian Horner says for us normal folk this type of fracture will take 10-12 weeks to heal, but he expects Danny Ric to target the Singapore GP for his return.

Sign me up! Let me just get that sports almanac before we go...

I believe BoP rules are currently applied to GT3, GT4 and GTE cars. In this case my recommendation will be the 911 GT3 R. It’s stunning in black and red.

An old Subaru

Just adding some JDM representation...

Honestly having ground clearance is great, especially with roads being as bad as they are everywhere. Now if only they could do away with the rubber bands and give it some tires with more sidewall...

Ford owned “Skyliner”, not Skyline.

Far as I know they don’t. They applied for it, and the media all reported on that application (2021) seemingly considering it done and dusted. But Nissan responded and got Ford’s naming rights revoked. Nissan is now applying for the same trademark (2023).

That’s nothing! Larry Chen’s latest car culture video from Singapore featured a guy with a very expensive house that was essentially 90% garage with a tiny little living space for himself. I was super impressed.

BMW tried this hydrogen combustion thing way back in 2005. They even stored the fuel as liquid hydrogen just like Toyota is testing now.

This doesn’t disagree with your conclusion that 1mm isn’t significant over 6k miles, but 1mm was not the absolute wear on the tires, but the wear difference between the front and rear.

Was it this one?

Yeah this. Unlike Lexus for Toyota, Infiniti hasn’t really been the upbrand success that Nissan was looking for. Skyline probably has more value as a name than the entire Infiniti brand.

EVs also skew strongly toward heavy in those clasifications.
