not in SCCA, unless its a safety issue.

This is a good point.

The rule was already in place, so really the Tesla was never legal. This happens a lot in racing because there are too many fine points to go over in pre-race inspection, you let guys run and then if somebody protests you worry about the legality of their engine. If a driver crashes out, or finishes way back in the…

clearly you dont race...

It’s a start, although I think he needs to look a bit more “weathered”. He looks almost elvish in that shot, like Thranduill from the Hobbit movies.

Who?

It’s solvable, it just needs some....slight mods....

“If I can’t say MAGA with a car decal, I’ll say it with my behavior!”

A self-serving asshole is a Trump supporter? How surprising!

Star for the Dutton reference.  Made my morning.

I would go as far as calling it “motorsports competition,” but I agree it’s not racing.

Formula Drift isn’t racing. Full stop.

If they were as confident as they claim, they would have used a professional racing driver, not a professional drifter. Clearly, there was at least one Formula E pilot on hand. Tuerck can wheel, sure, but he isn’t as practiced as the Formula E guys at racing on a street circuit and is far less likely to get the most…

It could also be that they didn’t bother removing mass in the gears that was unnecessary.

At 6:30 this video turns into an 90 second infomercial for Dashlane!

Many good answers here. Same size helical vs. straight gears, the helical gear is stronger. It has a larger surface area per “tooth” Than a straight gear from just being cut on an axis, and it distributes the load more than a straight cut gear. The example I always think of is the Panther tank from WW II and the…

If there is a situation that requires cutting the power, would you want to have to go through the BS design this car has to get to that cable? Poor design not having a mechanical release.

No lowball offers. I know what I have.

Except you just know the 71's OS is going to slow it down after the 72 comes out; “to maximise operating life”. Better get air traffic control to do the famous speed check before and after.

Wonderful fucking timing Lockheed!! I just purchased a SR-71 last month! You know what, fuck the 72. I’m just going to wait for the 73.
