Yup. If he was really that concerned “for the cars” he would have been blowing them out at scrap rates or less just to get them off the property.

Unfortunately, I haven’t seen anything showing fewer accidents.
I think those urethane covers were more about aerodynamics and covering up “ugly” bumpers than it was about absorbing the low speed collisions. That’s why low speed collisions usually result in high costs in panel replacement and paint.
I’m starting a new religion, fashioned on the amish/menonite. All technology made after 1995 is forbidden. You are required to lose traction at least once a day. Looking forward to those millions in tax free revenue. Women priests will bless our N02
The first one to be repaired is still waiting on parts. We’ll let you know by 2022 Q3.
Bumper, bumper, hmmm, bumper. I’m trying to recall what that is. I don’t think I have seen one on a car in a long time.
I’d like to take this time to complain about the unwanted complexity that a lot of these passive systems bring. Some of them to bring actual value compared to their cost, but cost so much to fix and can’t be adjusted. I say this as some who spent 800 dollars to get new TPMS sensors in their car, because the sensor…
We should all drive easily repairable cars, and we can pull over so we can safely use use our super robust phones with swappable batteries.
What you’re telling me is that I can start renting large empty rooms to auto mechanics.
This is an excellent point made by someone sporting an equally excellent username.
The tripe-to-article ratio on this website has skewed dangerously towards the former recently.
Why can’t the successful series that people want to and find fascinating to watch take on more aspects of far less successful racing series that far less people find interesting?!
They should run at Le Mans on the straight with no chicanes.
I’m suprised there are no comments about safety yet. I suspect an F1 car tuned for an oval (with lower downforce) would be about as fast as Indy Cars. Hasn’t Indy Car on pure ovals been plagued with mass crashes and had more of the recent driver fatalities?
I don’t think your physics knowledge is quite up to the task you set yourself to tackle...
Counterpoint: FUCK, NO.
Further to that, instead of complaining about F1 and constantly trying to justify an entire motorsport spent driving in a circle...how about paying attention to the best driving sport of them all, touring cars, and concentrate on that? The best, closest, most competitive driving I have ever seen is from touring car…
Dear Jalopnik,
Please start testing for Crazy Pills.
Thanks,

Fuck this, these aren’t car enthusiasts, they are gangs with cars
