Racecars, in order to prevent body roll, to improve handling, dial out body rool as much as mechancally possible. Most on-road racecars, for most racetracks, have maybe 2-3 inches of total suspension travel, 2 inches up, 1 inch down from center.

Interesting, almost no suspension droop.

Honda’s engine has probably had more peak power than the Renault since at least Hungary. That has never been their problem. Their main problem is that outside of the few seconds at the beginning of straights they actually make that peak power, they’re a long way behind. They basically repeated the same mistake Ferrari…

Was Top Gear involved by any chance?

Obligatory..

So that’s how Boxsters are made...

Yep. Alonso has had more DNFs this season than all of his years with Ferrari. And the problem isn’t the car breaks down, the problem is there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. When you’re this far into the season and the most positive thing you can say about the race is that both cars actually finished...that’s…

And what does everyone expect from two world champions? Absolutely unwavering patience in the face of the woeful season they’ve had this year? Button is an absolute gentleman and even he’s starting to tire. Everyone will say Alonso is an ass hole and that the old Alonso from 07 is finally showing but put any driver in…

SWEET! (Fair warning, though: YouTube/FOM tends to pull content pretty quickly.)

Realistically, there aren’t too many drivers on the grid who aren’t ass holes when the car is shit and they can’t race. He might be a jerk at times, but he’s still one of, if not the best driver in the sport. He has managed to drag cars not worthy of championships into contention. Like him or not, the sport would lose…

I’m honestly hoping that Honda can get it together and put up a decent powerplant for next season. JB certainly deserves a better send off once he does (officially) call time on his F1 career

He’s should be glad the other driver wasn’t his team mate - or french...

im just here for all the blind side jokes......

Not originally. That’s kind of the point of his story:

Jalopnik is my go-to example for a respectful community that supports people the don’t necessarily see eye to eye with but lord to the wheels fall off when someone throws up a drifting post. I don’t care much about drifting personally, but these guys are making massive power with cars that were not originally built…

Carroll Shelby essentially said the exact same thing of tuner cars (ricers) about ten years ago, in an interview on Spike TV or Speed Channel.

Came here for the Dart-ended up reading an awesome article! Thanks

oh, you’ll be verSTAPPEN after that accident

Maldonado crashed for the first time in more than 100 days and it wasn’t even his fault?
