Stupidity? No son, you don’t get to be 7 time world champion and be stupid at the same time.

Yes, initially, Damon Hill deliberately avoided becoming involved in the outcry at the time, he played it down. However, in later years he explicitly accused Schumacher of deliberately driving into him.

😮😮😮🤐 Yes, you’re absolutely correct. Brain fart on my part!

Well, at least we have this small consolation: No English F1 fan can ever say again that Damon Hill was robbed of the 1994 F1 Championship.

Oh dear gods! I hope that Donkervoort is listening and ears perk up! I mean, they started out by building Lotus-7 replicas, and that brought the world the Donkervoort D8-GTO series: 700 kg and 380-400 hp.

Look, ANY high-revving ITB’ed line-4 can sound like the Devil in a very pissed-off mood! It’s a sound I just love and adore.

Well, when loaded with solid propellant, you’d be standing next to 500 metric ton of, well, slow burning high explosives. 1.1 million pound per single solid rocket booster. And once that lights, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that can turn those Roman candles off.

Also: the original design brief for all Space Shuttle components was “above freezing” for the thermal operating window during launch. NASA was asking for something from Morten Thiokol that arguably wasn’t part of the original design requirements.

There was so much wrong there, but that’s all hind sight.

It’s highly possible that those O-rings were built using the religious equivalent of slave labor.

I always have to mute those alternative Hitler Rant versions, since I can’t both listen to German (and translate that in my mind on the fly) and read something entirely different in English (which I’m proficient enough in that it doesn’t take translation in thought).

Once it caught on, some F1 cars with active suspension had a special gravel trap button. It was kinda hilarious to see an F1 car, once on the pebble-y stuff, raise itself to full suspension height in order to try to clear the trap.

We can’t tell for sure, but it’s likely something like that: ABS sensors provide wheel speed. The central control unit knows how much power the inverter is asked to send from battery pack to the engines. Alternatively, I would expect that the car electronics include a accelerometer and a pitch/yaw sensor, which would…

ingenext has a plug-in hardware solution that works by intercepting and altering CAN bus signals. That’s the only way little boxes like this can operate: by intercepting commands and altering them before they are passed on. Their (proven wrong) claim that it cannot remotely be detected also means that they apply the…

Jason, how is it possible that you, recognized car trivia nerd, forget to mention the 930 cc 110 horsepower supercharged turbocharged Nissan March Superturbo? It was showcased on Jalopnik back in 2014: https://jalopnik.com/is-this-twincharged-nissan-the-most-forgotten-homologat-1653317711

Power generation isn’t the issue. The infrastructure used for getting the power to the charging ports is.

I actually quite liked some of the earlier episodes, but the novelty quickly wore off. There’s only so much you can show when it comes to getting stuff to ferment, distill the result, keep it hidden all the time and fence the product.

I have a business trip planned for next week. A short one hour hop from Amsterdam Schiphol to Hannover in Germany, return flight on the same day. The way things look NOW is OK. There is no government recommendation against travel to Germany.
