I’ve been doing printed engine mounts, suspension bushings and exhaust mounts, along with speaker baskets and hose clamps, etc, for years.

Rallying, Rallycross, autocross, and even trackdays - two cars rolled over at knockhill in one morning alone.

I’d need more hands, I saw 4 just last weekend. And I know two people with arms missing at the shoulder from getting them trapped between a rollcage and the floor because they did it the other way and didn’t have proper restraints.
Roll cages, helmets, bucket seats and harnesses should be a package. You fit them all

Can I just point out that doing a roll bar drop test without the doors installed gives a very false impression - the a-pillar windows in a Miata have a substantial steel bar at the back of them that is meant to triangulate and prevent the windshield compressing too much in the event of a rollover. They’re not flawless

Harnesses without a roll bar are actually potentially worse in an accident - they hold you tight in your seat and rigidly upright, so if you do roll over, instead of being pushed out to one side like with a 3-point normal seatbelt, your head and next becomes the cars rollover bar.


We don’t slap off the bumpstops, I’ve jumped that kinda mound even in cars with 6-8" of travel - you just need pretty hard compression damping to take it and some progressive foam stops ideally to stop you getting that massive spike of hitting hard stops.

Perhaps counter-intuitive but what you wanted in this case was

I mean, the truck can’t take it or it wouldn’t have smacked the bumpstops hard enough to cause that!

HAAS certainly have a habit of picking some interesting sponsors.

Sorry, what part of Greenland is the “UK Event” ?

You do realise they raced on the exact same course ICE cars have been racing at for half a century, right?

That’s always been the issue with events, it’s not driving around in circles that does it, it’s the air freight, sea freight, maintaining the courses and in the case of popular events - the sheer emmisions from travelling spectators.
 100,000 fans heading to a football match are a formidible use of energy.

Having seen the UK event vs what happens when we race there with ICE cars, they probably used twice the fuel just in the bulldozers and excavators they used to regrade the courses every run as our entire field uses for a weekend. Never mind the sheer power the encampments were using all night, albeit at least that was

Just popped the engine back in this weekend after a long, long period of work and upgrades from front to back.

I think you have no idea how A/C works - there’s no such thing as ‘charged’ - the A/C is just a compressor pump running and it uses a lot of power to do so.

And add on the amount of lost business/custom while all those repairs were being done too...I hope he got some good tax expense write offs on ‘em, cause I don’t think he came out ahead there.

That enough?

I’ve seen more than one racing with slipping CVT, a burning smell and a swearing driver all day.

It’s a Safari racer, for the French Tout Terrain series. Spaceframe with a kevlar shell.

It’s also on much wider tyres than 195's.
And they’re not full on M/Ts in a soft race compound either.

Killing the knobblies? What in half a dozen corners?
Nah we did 15 laps of Oulton once on knobblies. Okay they melted and stuck the car to the floor when we parked up in the paddock but still...
