Umm no. Rigid doesn't mean brittle.

What's the deal with these constant character assassinations? Do we really need this shit every race weekend? 

I’m not going to trust a device that includes a book-keeping system in it’s safety chain.

lol don’t overestimate the driving skills of the Chinese. A lot of people are going to end up at the bottom of this bridge. You just won’t hear about it. 

30 mins is not negligible. Perhaps on a long trip it could be overlooked but if you run out of juice in the morning and have a full calender of stuff planned, being stuck at a charging bay will fuck your day. You will spend that 30 minutes having to call everyone to shift all your appointments because your EV is a…

I’m pretty sure bikes aren’t decellerating at 2G. Sounds like a marketing number to me. 

Spot what’s wrong? Fucken wheels are on backwards ya gronk!

Yea lets shit on amatuer hobbyists because they have money... Sounds like a classic case of class jealousy to me.

Don’t forget, every driver started out as a rich wannabe.

Reads like this was reasearched by fishing for facts supporting a pre-defined narrative rather than a proper analysis of the situation.

You only need to speed a week or two in China and you’d happily bet your house that the “brake failure” was driver error.

99% of the drivers/rider over there have no idea how to drive.

So let me get this straight. If you are mobbed on the road by protesters, putting you in a position where turning back into oncoming traffic or forcing your way through results in you breaking the law or risking an accident - then you would just accept it and sit there and let them damage your car, threaten your…

So would you be as equally forgiving if white males started a mass protest blocking of your neighbourhood infrastructure to protest against employment minority quotas?

You have highlighted the biggest weakness of the left based activism - which is their total inability to have a sensible discussion when presented with a reasonable and logical point of view (such as you original post) that contrasts their own.

Instead of formulating a reasoned rebuttal, they immediately throw their…

35 mph is the standard speed for crash tests. There’s no way a car will burst into flames after a crash that slow. 

Did anyone else read this in the voice of Walter Koster (the long question guy)?

The point of the J-dampers is that they act as a dynamic spring softener at high frequencies. That lets you run very stiff springs for aero platform control but without losing isolation properties for road unevenness and kerb-strikes.

Hard and soft settings in motorsport has nothing to do with ride comfort but tyre load variations and aero platform control. Variations and oscillations of the tyre vertical load kill grip. A softer suspension isolates the unsprung and sprung masses better and as a result will hold a more constant vertical force on…

There are a few corners without names which could be a candidate in order of coolness:

The triple apex between Kallenhard - Wehrseifen
The left after Brünnchen (YouTube corner)
The flat-out left curve between Bergwerk - Kesselchen
The few corners between Karussel und Hohe Acht

The other corner names have too much history…

Wtf are you on about, jalopnik shits on ALL startups.

Sports cars, GT cars literally are designed for this track. It’s one of the tracks that Manufacturers (even european ones from personal experience) explicitly go to before they homologate their designs and tuning parts with the governing bodies.

Ride height is higher, the springs and dampers are softer and car is…
