Yep, same shite as always, nothing new. Move along.

Actually, you would want less emissive colours for performance, not more, you want hotter gases to keep the energy and speed up.

How about bringing a weird car AND having mud+snow tyres fitted. So that when your trackday is mid November, you get to run around the track for half an hour whilst everyone has to watch you go around from the pitwall because it’s full of frost and ice?

It’s probably also the thing that’s going to get you no sex for a week when mum finds out.

If you think that’s bad, there’s an office in the town where I live that’s been advertising it’s Independence Day party in the local newspapers all week.

My sequential manual transmission has a lever in the middle of the car and a clutch pedal. I’m one of those in the comments. You are wrong.

Exactly, 5 seconds given the caps and regulations is, frankly, massive.

Hey, I didn’t say anything about the design, but now you mention dicks...

Don’t say what? That his trike shatner’d itself?

What is it with all these bullshit titles? There’s plenty of race and rally drivers on here. TopGear is doing the same shite today with ‘You’re not good at handbrake turns, this guy is’ - bullshit.

See, I never considered that, but frankly, that sounds like it’d be far more fun and just makes me want it more.

To be honest, with avionics controls these days, I’m surprised we don’t see more planes like the flying wing - albiet with thick wings with the seating area inside them for passengers. You could have windows across a large area of the front then, view would be something to behold.

Depends on your definition of ‘leading’.

Lotus, TVR, Ariel, Caterham, Noble, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Morgan, Mclaren, MK, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Brooke, Ascari, BAC, Caparo, Ginetta, Radical, LandRover...

Check the F1 grid, we don’t do too badly...

AFAIK - the BMW motors are a 3.4 straight six in the Mattserati (yes, that is spelt correctly), and the 5L V10 in the GSR.

What about an Evoque* actually doing some offroading instead of the school run?

They’re good, but they’re only a band-aid for poor suspension/damper geometery. If you can fix it, fix it. If you can’t, buy a bypass.

Depends how you can hit it to start with, if you’ve enough speed/flotation you can almost skip over the top and keep going, the minute you dig in a little bit it’s like trying to push the tyres through setting concrete mix.

Depends exactly what terrain you’re intending on using it for I suppose, it wouldn’t get near mine on the terrain we race on for safari just because the top speed is too low. Might not be an issue if you’re plodding through bog-land.
