What’s worse? Sliding into a guardrail or going off a 200 foot cliff?

It’s perhaps better than dying of illness, but dying young due to a crash is the nightmare of every racer out there.

Within a 1/4 mile of the finish line sounds like the final corner. Would be a horrible place to crash because you’re so close to safety

This might explain why I had no issues with the darkness: I was watching it in a perfectly dark home theater on a very bright projector. In that setting, it was dark but visible and felt perfect.

Generally, there is not a detailed inspection to be cleared to race. Sometimes, you inspect it yourself and then sign off on it being legal. It is on the competitors to find things that are illegal and protest them. It’s similar to the FIA knowing that Haas’s floor was illegal, but letting them run until someone…

You could also argue that as the tesla has more than 1 motor, it is illegal under this rule.

While Rooney has been great for them, you have to remember the fact that they played the entire first half of the season on the road while their new stadium was built, and they also had their best goalie come back from injury right around that time. Rooney has done a lot, but he is not single-handedly responsible for…

As far as I know, you have to create the last bit of speed yourself, but can be towed up to quite high speeds. Guy Martin broke a land speed record on a bike in a similar way to this for a TV show, which is available online and gives a lot of insight into how this is done.

Looks like the aero was done by JKF Aero, and the guy which ran it used to make really interesting YouTube videos about aerodynamics, before being hired by an F1 team.

That’s not really how science works, science is about deriving theories from facts and then supporting those theories with lots of other facts.

Perhaps they want to set the record on the anniversary of Bellof’s death, or perhaps his birthday. Both of those dates fall later in the year.

The 919 is not a flat bottom car, it has quite a large diffuser, just not at quite the level of a 956. However, it still makes a lot more downforce, and has a lot more power.

Jack Aitken did this a couple days ago in a Formula 1 car. He wins.

My car, with electric power steering, does center the wheels if you release the steering wheel. I do sometimes use this by letting the wheel slip through my hands, but I do not let go of it and am prepared to make any corrections should I need to. Also, this only works with a lot of steering angle, like when making a…

A Huracan Super Trofeo in Montreal during the Grand Prix last year. Not as cool as a 275 or anything like that, but it’s not exactly common to see a race car on slicks parked on a public road.

I really hope the ACO give them a day at Le Mans or something so that we can see this car absolutely demolish the lap record. I suspect it could do around a 2:55 or faster, which would be insane.

They have a capsule which can hold astronauts, and they have a rocket that could launch said capsule to Mars. The astronauts would be dead by arrival, and none of the technology is human rated, but if you ignore that stuff a human is just a few hundred pounds of cargo.

I was there today, hearing these cars in person was insane. Quite a nice lap there by Marc Gene, although Assetto Corsa predicts (with me driving) that sub-58 second laps are possible.

On the hand-over-hand steering technique, I was taught that 2 years ago and told effectively to never use push-pull which I prefer.

Having played with it in vr in driving sims, I can say it really isn’t obtrusive to your view. Not only can you see ahead perfectly fine, you are almost never looking that way anyway.
