Someday people will learn the difference between a wing and a spoiler. Someday.

Correction, “...where using the feature didn’t stop you from crashing.”
I work in motorsports, one of my engineers and I had a long look at the photos and talked about how it all works. It’s a very interesting design, and it should work really well. Made my head hurt trying to figure out what is pushing or pulling when one wheel moves. That photo you posted helped us figure it out.
This is not at all a typical push-rod setup. The horizontal damper is a heave damper, mainly for aerodynamic loads. The diagonal damper is for roll or single wheel bumps. It has two springs and the damper is in the middle with the rod going all the way through.
I was out at the track earlier this year with my ‘95 BMW 325i and decided to run my street tires in the first session to get familiar with the track again.
Yeah, I was thinking it costs somewhere between 6.28 and 9.86 a year.
I used to work with a guy who told me about a funny law. He lived in Minnesota, I think. He a had a VW Buggy, without a windshield, and got pulled over for it. In order to make the car street legal again, he didn’t have to install some type of windshield, but he did have to install windshield WIPERS. Some of these…
This car makes plenty of downforce. Was it done in the most efficient way possible? No, not at all.
Sure looks like it will.
This video is awesome! If you slow it down on youtube, you can see a perfect chain of events.
I knew Tesla wanted people to stop loitering in the SC stations after their car was charged, but wow! Aggressive much, Tesla?
Nine, fee charges.
This is close. He was countersteering for the wheel slip of first gear, shifting into second he never stopped steering right, and pulled himself around. This is assuming it’s still AWD. If it’s RWD, something broke.
Fresh take on your hot take.... We all won! Both episodes were fantastic to watch, both cars were really cool in their own rights. The viewers won this by a mile.
I’m with you on this. Plus, wouldn’t a bigger and more efficient battery pack ALSO improve acceleration? More available power to put out all at once?
Fun, slightly irrelevant, fact of the day post. The 1979 through 2004 Mustang used the 1978 Ford Fairmont chassis.
Oh I didn’t realize you were single?!?!?!
I don’t know where you got the “a tube full of thick fluid that pushes back against bumps.” from, but it should be mentioned that the fluid is not thick. Like, not at all. Think brake fluid when you think of it’s viscosity.
Also, a big benefit of having bigger shocks, is having bigger valving. When the bigger…
I was trying to figure out the same thing. If you play it in SloMo, it does not look like the splitter touches. So probably wastegate flutter.
