The camber tolerance on a W12x35 at that length (25m wide) is over an inch, jfc

Dear ‘Murricans on Jalopnik - please stop being stupid. Can You? Please?

Oh man, those little 50cc Suzuki triples. Madness.

Bravo!

Picture of your “Friend”.

I must say, these articles have made me even more cautious about using Autopilot now. Not because I’m scared of the system, but because I don’t want my goddamn name and what I was doing while driving plastered all across the interwebs.

I sat down to watch the video. Then the launch happened. I stood up, and realized my clothes had disappeared. What

I.... I.... I have to fix my E38 first.

Its ok, you overexplained before you actually watched the video. Happens to the best of us.

The JD Power survey doesn’t care about what buyers think about the interior. “Quality,” for the purposes of the survey, is “rate of problems reported with the car.”

I study engineering and have asked a lot of professors about tire friction coefficients, but none of them know about the topic. I’ve googled a lot and haven´t got any explicit results. Where can I learn about racing cars tires, friction coefficients, etc.? I am really surprised it could be 2 (I estimated 1.2-1.5 max.)

If we assume coefficient of friction of 2 (I’m a little out of date, but should be a reasonably conservative estimate from the last tire data I saw)

You can probably bump that CoF up a bit. Since they aren’t at competition they probably have their tires doped to hell for the record attempt. They’re certainly using some tire warmers in the video.

All wheel drive and good traction control are certainly only going to help too. The issue with most of the ICE cars I’ve…

Well apparently the people who built the car think it would be better without the aero elements. As they took them off for the record run.

Except they removed the wings for the record run.

Haha, thanks - work in progress at the minute with a serious refit - in fact it’s just having a triplane rear wing fitted at the minute which is very similar to the one on the electric FS car above - albeit wider.

Safari’s.

Bingo, the wings on my own racer are designed around a 40mph average speed on the slower stages, I’m traction limited to 100....I’d leave the wings on too!

Why leave the large multi-element wings on the car for a straight line accel run that tops out at only 60mph?

I was going to mention that. I live in CO and noticed over the last few weeks that I saw more E21's than ever, a few of them in decent shape even...
