If you do not have this book, stop what you’re doing and buy it. It is known as my bible, and I guarantee you’ll read it multiple times, or someone will give you your money back.
Yes, this right here alone should cement that as no. 1, especially when Shelby was quoted as saying they were obsolete.
Obligatory:
You’re wit appears to be sharper then a sword. I fell out laughing at your awesome response.
TT 935 engine? Boner time? Yup, boner time.
No word yet back from them, but from the National Motor Museum’s Eddie Hall Collection, they are as well saying he drove solo, which would contradict a statement reading on a REVs picture of them saying he drove most of the race. So I’ll say carry on, and talk about something everyone wanted to be the first to do, and…
Not only that , but by the time Ford was long gone from factory backing, meanwhile Porsche was making it rain on the 917 project and 908’s. It was the literal David vs. Goliath scenerio at the greatest race in the world, and a little private (though funded by Gulf oil) team beat the big factory back programmed cars.
Yes, this was the pre-race warm up when this happened. In the race, a Toyota GT-One was in front, the wake off the GT-One, and the hill lifted the CLR off the track. It was said after the first flip, the drivers were told not to draft when going over the hill, which might cause lift, well he followed, and the rest is…
I’m holding my red flag up on Edward Ramsden Hall. As far as I know, no one has ever finished the race solo. His Bentely he used was transformed back into a streetable roadster, but in 1950 his car looked like this:
I’m not going to lie when I say I teared up a little watching this. I need moar, this will not suffice till Daytona.
You lucky son of a......
Porsche just has to keep the ERS-H (on the turbo) cool during the race. If that overheats and breaks, they’ll be in trouble as they won’t recover the full 8MJ of energy per lap
Would you care for a pitch fork, or a burning torch? I have plenty to go around, and the address to the FIA headquarters.
I wouldn’t be suprised, they have been hanging on to this R18 long enough like they are trying to wring out as much as they can before giving up and moving on. Either they will come out with a completely new car, or look into F1, which I could see being the later since they already racked up enough wins along with…
CALLED IT!!!! said this in a post a few weeks ago. Just like Group C, F1 is hurting. They’re losing tracks, teams are complaining and closing their doors, fan are complaining, yet the WEC is bigger then ever. Last year when I was at Le Mans, they said it was the biggest attendance since 1989, so that’s telling you…
The big thing that gave Toyota the edge last year was that flexing chassis wing design that was nothing short of brilliance, sadly the officials had to rain on their parade and tell them nope. If my Porsche team does not win, that I say Toyota, but at the same time I hesitate since then it would end Mazda’s streak of…
So your okay driving on the same streets they are? You’d be amazed at how many still don’t have GPS.....if you have phone from the last 5 years, you’ll more then likely have it. Sadly I’m not concerned where they will find work, but if they really are trying to make a living out of it, they should be more professional…
I’m okay with this since a lot of truck drivers I meet aren’t the most qualified to be riding a bicycle, let a lone barreling down the road in 20 tons of steel. Look in most newspaper wanted ads and you’ll see jobs requesting CDL truck drivers. It’s not a profitable operation really, and it’s not any better when your…
