Yes, commercial jet engines windmill, they do not have rotor brakes that prevent the fan from spinning. On windy days you can see them spinning on the ground when the engine is off. The engine was turned off, but at the velocity a jet is moving through the air that fan was still spinning pretty quickly, hence the…

I never cease to be amazed by the incredible beauty and precision of the drone shots coming out of the WRC. It wasn’t that long ago that shots of a vehicle of this caliber required coordination between film crews and drivers, practice runs, and multiple takes. Now we’re getting stuff like this from a live sporting…
Here’s our man Robb Holland’s finished Pikes Peak salvage Corvette Z06. We’re disappointed he went so conservative on the front splitter, but otherwise it looks incredible.
I wouldn’t ;)
Something something porsh....JACKIE CHAN AND REBELLION?! Well done, guys. Fricking amazing. For a racing “traditionalist” there’s a tiny bit of Schadenfreude in all the hybrid failures, but at the same time I love that WEC advances technology arguably more than any other motorsport.

Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we’ll provide the jams.
I was thinking the same thing! Didn’t you have a bad concussion in a race car last year? Im not sure I would ever strap in without a hans and good helmet after that experience.
Would you expect they’d be getting worse with every launch?
It’s broken because this shit is hard, and it requires paying for it. And Americans no longer want to pay for ANYTHING.
I..kinda saw this divorce coming. I mean, at some point McLaren will have had it and just split because it’s just dragging both parties down.
