All the teens agree: the MGB GT is better with a V8!

I know Vettel complained about distortion, but most Le Mans vehicles have full windshields and the prototype cars have a signature curvature to them. They race at freaking night with lights at Le Mans and yet those drivers don’t complain about distortion. Why can’t F1 just use a Le Mans style windscreen?

I’m in the, “just close the cockpit” camp, but even that probably wouldn’t have made a difference in the Bianchi incident.

I’m forever amazed at how Mark made it out of that Valencia crash relatively unscathed.

nope. they flip all the time and the rollbar behind their head does an excellent job. This is to prevent something large from hitting their helmet... an event that almost never happens.

how about a suspension spring? Lookup Felipe Massa.

Having anything large injure a driver is so rare that it has happened only a handful of times in the last 50 years. Of them, the halo would have only helped a couple of them. It’s not really a solution to a problem they’re having.

Still think it should be referenced as a “face thong” instead of a “halo”.

This barely clears the “it’s better than nothing” hurdle. Let’s hope & pray that halo doesn’t somehow contribute to another “rare occurrence” tragedy solely because F1 feels the need to do something for the sake of doing something.

Looks like they’ve decided to go with the option nobody liked. Is Bernie coming back too?

At Watkins Glen.........

Mazda has already said rotary works wonderfully well as a electric generator. It also works wonderfully with hydrogen. They’ve done it already, as early as the 70s oil crisis. We also know the Japanese government is betting on hydrogen over plug-in EVs (like Tesla, BMW, etc.), which is precisely why we have the Toyota…

I was lost for allegiance at Le Mans this year without Audi and their TDIs. Not to mention I got burned by Dieselgate.

I guess I’m a Mazda fan now?

Gaaaaaah seriously! The best looking of the bunch.
