The in-flight stability this thing has is quite mesmerizing.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the R8. It has a proper and specific carbon-fibre tub, designed and developped indoors, and the twin-turbo V6 from the Nissan GT-R GT3. I guess they look kinda the same because the two companies gave their designers the same brief. They probably had the same sized package to draw…
Yes that top end is mad. Especially for a road car!
I raise you this!
I always forget about this. Which is cool, because I get to re-discover how gorgeous it is each time!
The exhausts on this makes it look like it’s about to take off. Awesome!
Just sad Carl Sagan isn’t here to see this!
I see your point, but I still feel that Bottas had to avoid him, and that it would have been a legitimate move had Rosberg been at least one bit alongside when he went for it. Giving the line and avoiding aren’t the same thing, to me. But hey, no biggie! No contact, and Rosberg would have made the move eventually.…
More than that, it’s a simple divebomb, and would not be seen kindly on, say, an iRacing server. If Bottas didn’t comply, they were both out.
So that’s who Marchionne finally did his merger with. The Vatican.
I’ll miss the guy. A real gentleman. Everyone talks about how Kimi is an old school character that we don’t have enough of on the grid, but honestly, Button is the one great personality that we don’t get enough of (not to dismiss Kimi, love the dude to).
But this wasn’t cheating at the time, simply very smart (which is the best way of cheating). A bit like Toyota claiming the fuel tank on the GT-One could be used to store the mandatory standard suitcase needed to homologate the car into the GT1 category.
Data from the race track and also some team members kinda admitted it (for example, Jos Vestappen, teammate at the time). Later this year, the FIA found some code supposed to be a sort of launch control, but they could never prove it was used during the race.
This! The proof deletes itself when you turn the engine off! How brilliant is that? Plus, being 1994, I bet that kind of software thingy wasn’t exactly easy do create.
That’s incredibly cool! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Anthony! Given that you still have a close look on F1 and at the same time run the engineering fest that is WEC, what do you think about F1’s new formula since 2014, and all of the new tech there? Do you enjoy all of the engineering geekiness that ensued or do you miss the old engines?
