There are a lot of variables in play when it comes to these systems. The halo, while a neat idea, only solved one problem (Sort of). The aeroscreen is where F1 needs to move towards. Yes, you could argue that if they’re going to install a windscreen that they may as well close the entire cockpit, but open wheel racing…

The reality is that the governing body does regulate everything. This was just an instance where the governing body grants an exemption when all other teams whom it would apply to approve of the exemption. It would be rare to see something like this happen again anytime soon given the implications it could have for an…

To be fair, everyone plays both sides of that BoP game. It’s just that the Fords happened to do it for LeMans... As the old racing saying goes, if you aint cheatin you aint trying.

Without getting into huge amounts of detail about the significance of the anniversary (see here for more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_GT40), the reason they would allow this is media attention that would come from letting the Fords compete this year. The media LOVE good stories and Ford returning to GT…

Exactly. Ford took a page out of Merc and Porsche’s playbook and its working out fairly well. I wouldn’t be surprised to see those same players at it again sooner than later.

$100K is far too low. The entire GT-PRO class would be eliminated by instituting that cap. Ford, Ferrari, Porsche, and Aston Martin are all participating OEMs of GT-PRO, and all of the cars they provide to customers or factory-backed teams for racing are based on road cars far above $100k. You would have to go toward…

To your credit, that is how the rules are laid out. To compete, the car must be homologated and with a minimum number of cars produced. However @Vin is entirely correct - Ford wanted to compete this year, namely at LeMans on the 50th Anniversary of their 1-2-3 victory at LeMans, but to do so they had to apply for a…

currently 27 and I know I have lost all interest in the NFL, much less football as a whole. From the violent injuries, the long-standing effects the game very frequently has on players after retirement, and the sheer lack of gameplay (seriously, look it up. Avg gameplay in an average legnth game comes out to an…

Show up and cheat? You must be a very casual fan.

Is there a link to high-res photos? Would love to make some of these my PCs wallpaper!

Yup, definitely sounds like a stick shift. The “farts” are just the curbs.

The word you are looking for is “frontrunners”. 80% of those Warriors fans you’ve seen as of recently are merely there for the ride because they’re winning. As soon as they faltered, they hopped off that bandwagon.

He will. When he returned to Cleveland, he signed a contract knowing full well that the salary cap was going up in the 2016-17 season thanks to a new TV revenue deal. He has been playing under a short-term contract so that when the cap goes up, he can sign a new max contract and guarantee himself a LOT more money than…

You do realize that’s the standard size for go kart gas tanks in the standard location for them, right? When you are racing a go kart, you need a bit more fuel than a 1qt tank to make it to the finish.

While true, it doesn’t discredit the reality that Ahmad paid for a car he never got and wants his money back. Its certainly possible that at the time he didn’t have the medical bills/loans which would have allowed him to buy the Corvette locally. Either way, the issue still revolves around the fact that JH runs a…

You missed the joke...

Could have been worse...

Sigh... I’ll bite.

You see, Monaco is a extremely special circuit in that its the last of the true street circuits. This means run-off areas are few if any and there is no space behind the walls that keep the cars on track for tow vehicles to transport disabled vehicles. The solution in a location like Monaco? Use…

In a static collision with just 1 crashing car, sure... Introduce a second car, likely in an oncoming scenario, and a 64km/h closing speed can easily be achieved.
