It's not just Ferrari. Le Mans is rife with automotive pedantry. It's like if NCRS judges were put in charge of SCCA tech inspections... but everyone is French.

The full story is here near the bottom of the page.

I believe a Shelby Daytona Coupe was dq'd from Le Mans for the same trick.

I've driven on a Tilke track (AMP) and it is zoo garbage. Hell, it's not even that safe. The off camber sweepers on the back side of the course (15&16 IIRC) are bumpy and have little runoff and the kink heading onto the tiny front straight is the same. I'll take Road Atlanta, VIR, Barber, even the road course at…

I did 1:42 at Roebling Road in intense summer heat. At one point, I was so disoriented that I got lost on track between 8 and 9. Thankfully, I was following a car and just stuck to him until I got my bearings. I had to do a physical for my NASA Comp License, but I think heat management would be much more meaningful…

This tells me nothing. I've instructed at AMP numerous times, and that is obviously a beginner session judging by the speeds. I've taken students out in bone stock 1.6L Miatas there and passed C6 Z06's. That doesn't mean that the Miata is anything special, it just means that I happened to be quicker than a new guy in…

They are dicks about sound there. They have good reason since they have neighbors who complain, but they typically don't follow a standard sampling method and try to 'catch' people who they think are too loud.

I love how the Germans create new works by gluing a bunch of old ones together.

I had forgotten about the Mask F-Body... maybe that's why my first road race car was an 1984 Camaro. I can't think of any other reason I would have done that. It was a terrible car.

Personally, I prefer the KA. We endurance raced an S14 with a cammed NA KA with great success. The power wasn't huge, but it was adequate and dead reliable for 24hr+.

Technically, I believe it's a Court of Equity, but, yeah, everybody is gonna get boned.

Smokey Yunick's book has some insights into some of the sleazier tactics that France the Elder used to start his traveling circus, some of which were later confirmed for me by a very old school racer who new both him and his son. Neither knew the current dictator, both both suspected he may be the worst of the three.

Continuing to try to start an engine is the cure for a small carb fire. The vacuum sucks the flames into the intake until the excess fuel is burned off preventing damage to the junk metal that carb's are usually made of. That said, when the timing cover is on fire, you probably have larger problems than buying a new…

How can you have a Banana button without a Left button? #karlpilkington

Damn, you beat me to it. I have an unhealthy desire to own one of those wheezy old pigs.

Specialized licenses should be required to drive in the left lane of any interstate highway. These licenses should be expensive, difficult to obtain, and unavailable to truckers.

A side view drawing from the Driver's Road is always a good choice. They'll even customize one for you. I pick a new one up for my son every year at the Rolex. http://www.driversroad.com/artwork.html

Ummmm... I think you mean Pete Brock.

Lol. That semester of thermo is finally paying dividends.
