Not necessarily for shooting from, but more for scouting/observation. I suppose for quail hunting (extremely dumb bird) you don't need a blind or anything to fool them into thinking you're NOT there, so I bet the owners have 2-3 guests up there at a time sitting on one side of the rig, shooting AWAY from everyone.

Thanks Paul for this!
I think we know what needs to be done.
It comes standard on Ferrari's.
If it rotated a full 360 degrees, how would you know from the chalk marks? ;-)
Instead of physical shells that would litter the course, why not use the kart-based projector and then use ancient laser tag technology. When activated, the shell is projected and if the laser hits kart sensors in front of you, that kart is slowed down or stopped briefly.
The only issue with throwing shells would be picking them up. The shells are only supposed to be available to them if they drive over the powerup. I guess you could have a box of them that opens once the powerup is picked up, but that would be a bigger undertaking than a lot of the other ideas.
I see that literally everybody beat me to this. But I'm giving myself bonus points for using a different picture.
Obviously no track does that. However no track has the demand to support that, either. What I mean is that a private track should be looking to take as many customers as they can (for revenue), whereas a governmental entity is less concerned with revenue. If a business turns away revenue to lower costs, there is no…
Why would they want to limit who can drive? How would less tourist drives make them more money? It seems like more tourist drives would be preferable from a money-making standpoint.
I've learned a great deal about the authors dislike of private enterprise and almost nothing about the ring.
As a typical non-profit company in public ownership, the Nürburgring has never been forced to make profits. Mis-management led to losses, but the setup originally allowed for maintenance and investment from the funds earned. This all will change dramatically, when a private company has to satisfy investors. Twenty…
Very nice, except the color and wheels. I have a soft spot for the short-wheelbase 740i Sport.
Honestly, one of my favorite cars ever. The E38 7-Series cars were beautiful, fast, and everybody simply knows they have to get out of your way.
Sounds like LMP1 but fender less.
It's a new class in amateur racing called "Formula Fjord."
I worked at a plywood mill in East Texas when I was going to college back in the 70s and one night we put our supervisor's pickup truck in a boxcar and shipped it to North Carolina.
And Kim K almost fell once and owns a G Wagon. Who gives a crap. Jalopnik is not TMZ, we appreciate people who appreciate cars; not drive rented Lambos going to get burgers.
While there are positives to being in a union, there are also negatives. Namely, strikes.
