Here's some on-board footage of me driving the second last stage of Targa Newfoundland in my 510.
Hey, didn't you used to have an awesome robot on BattleBots?

And now you're a rally driver?

I've wasted my life. :(

I think I now know what the shover robot moved on to after his tiff with the pusher robot.

"T-LEFT IS THE ONLY ANSWER"

Reading instructions like a robot worked for me. He did an awesome job all week in my opinion.

For those of you interested, I am working on an article detailing the week and will post it here with a multi media spectaculoo once I get it all done.

Yeah, I had a Battlebot or two...

Took me about a month to find this ad again. I think this is possibly the greatest/funniest TV ad for a TV show that I've seen.

I want a setup like that on my car, so I can go around college and pretend I have a fast car. :buddy:

So tell me why exactly most F1 races aren't like that? The fact that they made contact (or were so close that they appeared to) at ridiculous speeds, in a loving monsoon, without turning into a mangled heap of CF and titanium is amazing.

The large tarmac run-offs at Fuji mean that they're going to go side-by-side knowing they've got a safety net.

I think they just started screwing around. You'll notice both cars get intentionally run off the course by the other at some point.

That cylinder video was awesome, but it didn't really give any sense of what the piston was doing except at TDC.

That's because the piston just goes up and down, not much to see. They were looping the intake and power stroke, which is when everything interesting happens.

Gotcha. I thought that there was something missing in there, since I'm assuming that it's a four stroke engine, and doesn't have a firing every time that the piston hits TDC.

No, but that's how I expected people to interpret it. I knew it was F1, but no F1 race I've ever seen has been remotely like that, except that one video from 80s.

Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.
