I’m still using my 10 year old G27, but last year I upgraded to the fanatec clubsport v3 load cell pedals. What a massive difference!

ESC systems are specifically tuned to the factory tires

it’s fantastic. I have wrc+ but they do put up some free content on the wrc website

One point, you always seemed to start your drift aiming towards the part of the track with the least runoff. That’s a pretty poor circuit design, most test tracks have a lot more runoff especially for low friction surfaces

a side impact test was technically performed, lol. shady ass marketing

Takata signed an agreement with NHTSA way back that eventually they would remove all ammonium nitrate from the road. It was always going to be in waves

only above a certain decel threshold, usually 0.3, plus whenever the ESC module is holding the car like on a grade

by law yes they have to illuminate

the problem is the large group dinner not the method of travel

the “proper” fix would be to either move your d-ring down or your butt up. Not sure if the e36 had adjustable d rings but a lot of cars do

aww I missed it :(

how does that make it ok to harass and intimidate the people on the bus?

so peaceful

Depends very much on the engine too. I wonder if, in changing the air flow on the turbo ones to optimize high end power, they lost some midrange torque or something. Engineers are pretty good at their jobs, turns out, and don’t leave a ton of power sitting on the table. It’s not the 70s anymore!

wild test cars travel in packs

It’s certified by them in that they are using calibrated equipment. Their calibration certification means that the data is certified by them, even if none of their employees were present. The wording could have been better but that’s how instrumentation works

it’s a diffuser that they then took to an extreme for looks

Katz’s is good but way overpriced man

Also, I find myself just generally fatigued these days, so that doesn’t help. Read more
