Beyond aero, another noteworthy advancement in the 70s was tires. The slick tire was introduced into F1 in 1971, however radial construction wouldn’t come until 1977. F1 racing tires up to that point were still bias ply. Disadvantages not only were due to the lesser safety aspects of non-radial tires not being able to

I like gummis, I can put a bag of them on the seat next to me and eat on the go. As long as they are not sugar dusted and make a mess, or individually wrapped and need me to fiddle with a wrapper while driving. Keeps my blood sugar up.

is this the spawn of a 70's vantage and a db9?

I’m glad they built this rather than let that engine and chassis sit and rot in a warehouse; but I don’t think they pulled off the retro front end quiet so masterfully. It’s clear the inspiration came from the older DBS, but they missed the mark if you ask me. But good on Aston for putting another v12 manual

The statement is disingenuous. SpaceX isn’t suspending work on their lander. They’re going to build it with or without NASA money. All they’re doing is suspending payments from NASA to SpaceX for development costs.

I used to be in commercial construction before I started a business as a home inspector.

Take my face off the minivan’ is one of those statements that would be awesome to hear out of context.

You can run a gas pump off a $200 portable generator - and here in hurricane country they do. You are not charging your electric car that way.

Yes. Much easier and cheaper (well, maybe not the mitutoyo version)

The track pass is a good deal for the whole season ($20) and doesn’t require any other kind of subscription. It’s not often you can get that isolated content streaming. I’m worried that the shutdown of NBCsports will put this over on Peacock requiring a base subscription-- which I have no interest in at all.

Personally, I want to see a Star Wars version of Donovan’s Reef.

Loki is DB Cooper, solving a 50-year-old mystery.

I also argue that if you can’t afford to play in F1, then you can’t afford it. Go run F2, F3, F4, GT World Cup. F1 is supposed to be the pinnacle of automotive racing with all the exotic newest coolest stuff. Why are you trying to make it NOT that because people are complaining about costs?

No one’s talking about not

Be honest, you’re not mad that there’s “politics” on Jalopnik, you’re mad because there’s politics you don’t agree with on Jalopnik.

I love that idea, but multiclass racing is always going to be the greatest. Give me a grid of 20 LMDh and 35 GT3s and I’ll be super happy.

I think Bradley has hit on the right concept: GT3 cars with a price cap of, say, $400,000US.

give me a rolex 24 with gt3 cars only. talk about a race.

You’re only a good cop if you’re strongly condemning every single bullshit thing like this that other cops are doing. That’s the only way you’re a good cop in this whole mess. Fuck every other cop.

Hopefully Minneapolis will be paying to have these tires replaced and identifying and firing these officers.

Relieve the police.
