296 does 150 mph in the 1/4. 750 is over 145.

Interesting that it’s no quicker than a 296 despite the claimed 240 HP advantage. Baaaaaarely quicker than a 750S despite claiming over 300 HP more.

If you really care about the environment, tax the consumer for vehicle size, weight, and consumption. Giving the manufacturer regulations that have nothing to do with consumer buying habits is silly and drives vehicle cost through the roof.

Agreed, 55 mph is dumb.

It’s really, really disappointing for those of use that are trying to develop powerful and efficient new engines.

I’m a powertrain development engineer, I test this stuff every day. If you take a batch of 2018 93 Octane and run a power or emissions test, it’ll be better than a batch of 2024 93 Octane. I suspect it’s even better if you could find even earlier fuel that hasn’t gone bad. They’ve gotten really cheap with the…

First of all, the CGT will always be the best car ever.

No. It’s actually worse now.

Exactly. As is typical of F1, right as the racing gets really really good they’ll completely change the rules.

This guy’s life is over regardless of what happens. Media outlets should be ashamed of plastering this guy’s name everywhere.

Been watching F1 a long time, and young people don’t know how good they have it. 2024 has been incredible.

350 bar (over 5000 psi) is now common, and you’d be hard pressed to find a current production GDI engine that’s under 200 bar (nearly 3000 psi). While these engines don’t run that sort of pressure at all load points, 1600 psi is not concerning at all.

That wasn’t the point of my post, the point is that almost every other driver ever would handle Max’s career worse than he has.

Super winners are almost never nice people...particularly behind closed doors.

I could see a situation where you used a phase change system, like AC, to cool brakes. At the very least, the brakes would be liquid cooled in some form, this would allow you to make them much smaller and lighter assuming your material could handle the heat density.

You’re correct by mass, but I’m reasonably confident that water is the highest by volume. In general, engineering applications are much more concerned with volume specific heat capacity, the larger the volume of any substance the worse the surface area to volume ratio becomes.

I think they’re simply trying to keep the tire from getting to 275 F in the first place. In theory on the way up to temp, this would also reduce pressure change because you’re heating the air up less. The friction/cornering centripetal acceleration/braking puts X energy into the tire, if it takes more energy to heat…

Water has the highest specific heat of any substance known to man. It would prevent tires from over-temping/giving the ability for a soft tire to last longer.

GR86/BRZ easy. Buy two, one to thrash and enjoy, the other to store and sell for $300k in 2050. A manual trans, low mile, desirable color version of a GR86 will be worth $$$$$ someday because they’ll all be modified, crashed, or have 200k miles like ITRs do now.

And yet, Musk donating to Republicans doesn’t even crack the top 1000 worst things big corporations do with their money.
