That’s because technically it’s actually someone’s driveway.

Still a longer race than a drag race or pro solo run which was red-lighted. For that matter... it’s still longer than a Top Fuel drag racing run (time wise).

There aren’t always barriers equipped on hillclimbs (which this appears to be). It certainly raises the element of danger, but to some that’s part of the appeal, but to other’s it’s just a necessity since hillclimbs often don’t have the funding to pay for barriers.

Many race series don’t allow pre-heating of tires. I’ve seen people try to get around this by placing their tires in a “sunroom” before the start - or perhaps even placing them in their support vehicle with the heat on full blast, but even that can be avoided by having rules state that the tires must be equipped to…

I'd argue that C4 > C5 was the bigger change. The C4 is considered the low point by many, and the C5 is one of the better ones.

Until 10 years down the road when those two sensors fail, and you have cars shifting themselves into park while going down the highway. Perhaps you can put a speed-related lockout in it too... but then you’ll still have your car shifting into park at every stoplight.

I think what you’re seeing are the ground effects tunnels, which CART allowed at the time

Nope, they normally announce software updates at WWDC, and then announce the hardware updates in September. iOS is then released about a week after the iPhone announcement, with the hardware available the week after that.

I was thinking about this... why is Canada in the middle of a string of European events? Then I realized - the teams all have 2 of everything already.

They have one garage setup that goes to the even #’d races, and a second one that goes to the odd #’d races. This way, one garage is traveling while the other is being…

Lacking of tiedowns. Likely also lacking the structural integrity necessary to add any weight to it.

If the Indy 500 was on the schedule (i.e., the teams planned for it), it wouldn’t be very hard at all to make the cars faster than their Indy rivals:

1) Remove the wings (other than the bare minimums necessary for legality and trimming aero balance). The underbody makes more than enough downforce to lap Indy flat out.…

Especially when you consider he’s already won this race twice. Not sure how winning it a third time would help anyone who only knows him for hitting a jet dryer suddenly know him for something else.

My diesel truck had plenty of turbo flutter if you quickly closed the throttle while it was under full boost

That was my thought. Last time I did that, I landed it and continued, but had to stop a little later due to the “thump thump thump” of a bent axle. I landed rear-first, which led to the rear axle bending - but the kart in the video landed front first, so I would’ve expected similar damage to the front end.

They should make one of the random giveaway contests they do during the game be the rights to play this live. I would much rather have this prize than a free tshirt.

That’s true, but if you’re entering an intersection where crossing traffic doesn’t have to stop, does it really make a difference? Someone’s getting tboned either way.

I once had an 11mph over ticket “reduced” to running a stop sign. Think about that one for a minute...

Ironically, I think the Prius test would be a reasonable metric. The thinking being that people will generally accelerate from a stoplight at roughly the same speed in daily driving, regardless of if they have 50hp or 500hp. The same principles likely hold true when it comes to braking, turning and cruising speed. As…

A local dealership drills two holes into the back of every vehicle they sell to mount their dealership emblem. As expected, they also don’t rustproof those holes in any way, and inevitably every vehicle sold by the dealership starts to rust from the emblem out a few years later.

I’ve seen vehicles originally sold by…

Boarding and security screenings should both be quicker than air travel. Boarding would be quicker due to multiple entry points and likely wider isles (and hopefully less carry-ons). Security should be quicker because the security risk is so much lower than an airplane (no chance of a takeover creating a guided…
