Engine braking while you’re in the same gear is fine. Downshifting to engine brake is where you get clutch wear and you’re better off using the brakes.

Show me someone who thinks engine braking is bad and I’ll show you a stupid person. I’ve never heard anyone express that opinion honestly, not sure where Engineering Explained came up with that.

Go directly to hell, you absolute nightmare of a person.

Off-topic, but I found it incredibly annoying that for most of the race they just had the running order ok the left of the screen with no intervals to cars ahead or the leader. It was impossible to tell who was in DRS range of the cars ahead of them.

No, 2016. No. You don’t get The Greatest too. Fuck right off.

In my defense, some of my doors have become structural.

One of the scariest accidents I’ve seen is Gordon Smiley’s. I don't remember what year it was, but he lost grip, corrected, and the car drove himself into the wall. Luckily he died instantly.

Yeah it was crazy. I caught a guy’s side mirror with my side mirror trying to pull into a turn lane in Sharpstown. He came running up and starting beating against my window, second hit the damn thing smashed in.
