Correct. Same goes for aircraft as well. Crimping connectors is preferred to soldering for both strength and longevity.

Isn’t soldering car wires, especially under the hood not recommended? The heat and vibration can mess them up

The stickers were all I had

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…

That’s a shitload of downforce.

Not to mention, the strength of the rear wing and the rest of the car. To hear about it is one thing, but to see it is something else altogether. Especially when we hear [and see] how *fragile* open wheel race cars can be. Got to love directional force and those engineers.

If they are the type do carve canyons at 125 mph, watching a video of someone crashing is extremely unlikely to stop them.

Are you fucking kidding me?

As a life-long racer, I can say this has nothing to do with a dream. This is the nightmare we face every single time we roll to the start line.

Nah. He’s just learned to keep his fucking mouth shut, which is an improvement but is hardly redemption.

Except for Hanley, who pulled on an impressive run toward the end of the day, you’re pretty spot on.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think pit crews for anything below F1 make anywhere near 6 figures.  I believe a good majority of them do it as more of a hobby than an actual main gig.

Because it’s several orders of magnitude more expensive to build a GTE car than a GT3 car. Like, running in GTLM in IMSA is claimed to be more expensive than running in Prototype.

To be honest, I’m totally with the NCAA on this one. Do you know how many toppings those STUDENT-athletes could add to their bagels with that kind of money? We’re talking chives, capers and even lox. And not just lox trim, but nova, aka, the good shit. And they might even be able to get ANOTHER IDENTICAL BAGEL for the…

Yeah, driving sideways at 100mph inches away from a wall is far less interesting than slowly driving over some dirt trails to camp.

You have jumped to so many conclusions here, you should qualify for the Olympics.

Actually not entirely sure he was trying to shoot the gap. That brake zone into Turn one claims a lot of cars every year. The straight is actually the runway for St Pete airport and because of that it has those massive reflective strips for pilots to see when landing. The problem is that those strips also have much…
