It’s NOT eSports. We don’t give a fuck about RC racing, battle bots, Pinewood Derby, drone races, the Tour De France, or any of that. I’m into motor racing.

This is a great idea. Why don't carmakers provide decent phone mounts?

That is a terrible design. 

HVAC controls should never be screen based to start with.

Where’s the Mercedes hate? Their team order was definitely worse than Ferrari in this race.

And excuses, apparently.

Shorter sidewalls aren’t supposed to have that much of an effect on maximum cornering force. The reason for shorter sidewalls is for sharper transitions. When you turn the wheel, the sidewall will deflect an amount depending on the height of the sidewall and the force from the contact patch. High sidewalls and high

This is what I’ve been waiting for. I just told a salesmen the other day that“if it doesn’t have at least 715 horses, you might as well be driving a Yugo.” I’m sold.
