If fellow Norwegian Petter Solberg called you tomorrow and asked you to drive a car for him in the World Rallycross Championship, but you had to give up Formula Drift, would you accept his offer?

The commentary team = Awesome, Toby Moody is super knowledgeable and hilarious, and Ricky Johnson is super knowledgeable and one of the nicest people in the industry I’ve ever met.

I’m confused, long ago he said he’s rolling on 20s with the top back, and this car clearly has neither 20s nor is a convertible.

I was pointing out a grammatical error...

Sorry about that, really don’t know how I mixed up reply buttons...

While Kenseth’s own Chase hopes were severly curtailed when Kenseth bumped him from the lead at Kansas,

You’re comparing apples to oranges facility-wise.

Not really. If you look at most NASCAR tracks, they make a lot of money off track rentals for driving schools and whatnot, a race weekend is only part of their income for the year.

EDIT: Whoops, somehow responded to the wrong person :/

Bookmarked all of them, thanks for the pointers.

I was watching the Sky Sports feed and they said the names correctly. And the Sauber livery is much different than the Williams livery, from a visual standpoint it’s easy to tell them apart.

The professor filled in while the main fluid professor was on sabbatical, it was his first time teaching it in at least 5 years. So off to a bad start already...

What, forgetting Piquet turning Hockenheim into a kung fu match already?

The more I try to explain something with Fluid Dynamics, the more I’m finding out my professor taught us wrong, good to know...

Williams’ Felipe Massa then brought out another yellow flag due to a brake fire

Look at it the other way: to get the same amount of downforce as at, say, Silverstone, the teams need to run more aggressive wings due to the higher altitude. Welcome to the Reynolds number, more aggressive wings at low Reynolds numbers generate similar numbers to less aggressive wings at higher Reynolds numbers.

Adhesion is also a function of tire temperature, which IIRC has much more effect than the newness of pavement. Keep in mind that as pavement wears the aggregate starts exposing and provides more mechanical grip, especially when tires are hot and the surface is softer.

Saying “Everyone knows” doesn’t really explain things, why is new pavement better? I read something over the weekend that F1 cars at the new Mexico track were having trouble with traction on the new pavement, isn’t that kinda backwards of what you’re sugesting?

Radio traffic involving Mark Webber is always classic, this just went on the WEC coverage:
