They took a page from Lotus and decided to add some lightness!

Sync is terrible. It is worse than a dumb connection. Do not kid yourself. I bought my car full of hope that Sync would be the solution. 3 years later, Sync is still the problem.

I'd wager that it involved a long rope.

The name Big Nige is definitely the buried lede, but lay off of RIC. That kid's been earning his seat every race this year. I honestly never saw much in him during his years at TR, but he has been doing great work with a mediocre car this year.

Oddly placed batteries are usually accompanied by more conveniently placed terminals to use for charging the battery. Of course, I didn't know this when I was 20 and my '87 Audi 5000s had a dead battery under the back seat. I ended up with the rear bench pulled off and the jumping car pulled up touching the inside…

You're me from the future!?

Red Bull doesn't show F1 on the Red Bull digital channel (Roku and AppleTV) either. They can't. Between Bernie and the license-holder (NBCUNI in the US) F1 makes sure nobody else can show it. Best RBR can do is show footage of their F1 cars in non-F1 events.

Also know as the "don't let millions of acre ft of salt water ruin upstream land" bullshit.

It's impossible to say that sponsorship didn't help recruit a single soldier. Sponsorship, and advertisement in general, aren't about selling product. They're about building a brand in the consumer's mind. If you associate the National Guard with something they like (NASCAR, in this case) then they will be more…

Ugh. Your sailboat analogy strikes a bit of fear into my heart. In the sailing world we now have reasonably priced crappy boats like Hunters, which are poorly built living rooms with a hull and mast attached. But because that sort of boat captured a big part of the more casual market, we also now have luxury…

If it doesn't force the sale of the team, what exactly does a "ban" mean?

130 degrees, are you mad? Not unless you're running triples. On a single monitor your most realistic FOV is going to be way low, like 45 degrees.

I noticed when that line was delivered on the show, but I assumed they weren't making a racist pun because A) it's a dated, obscure term that I'm not sure I've heard outside of Deadwood episodes and B) if they knew the term then they'd definitely have sense not to use it in the most widely syndicated show...in the…

Porsche dealerships will jokingly refer to the sort of problems he's seeing as "The Porsche Experience". They have this attitude that buyers of luxury sports cars understand they are buying unreliability, that you can't reasonably expect a car to be watertight.

It looks like it would drive very poorly AND you can't actually race it. Get a real kart for an actual class - you probably won't go as fast, but you'll be safer and have more fun.

Since sniffing traffic is fairly passive, I don't know what he's doing that could void the warranty. In any case, nothing here constitutes industrial espionage. The big car companies have teardown rooms that they keep disassembled versions of all their competitors cars in and even that isn't industrial espionage. …

What are you talking about. Everyone is dying to know who will win. Will it be the Audi or the Audi?

In the US, any collegiate-level gamers would probably have to take drug tests. Our finest players would then be ineligible.

Sports programs are only profitable for a handful of schools. For schools that don't have big, successful, high-profile programs, sports are an expensive vanity.

And yet, Sunday was a great race. Things are more interesting this year than they have been in a long while because they've changed so much. I'm surprised that people aren't more excited by the fact that F1 is now a series where torque exceeds grip again. It's going to be fun!
