I literally had a 10 minute chat with him about the future of diesel. Testing can not come soon enough. My dad talks about Trump and athletes kneeling during the national anthem, so uh, gently caress you.

Me and my pops bottled my beer yesterday, watched a bit of Bad Boys, talked about brewing another batch, Corolla Maintenance procedures, me buying a Ducati and then ate some burgs. Sorry your families suck friends.

track day bro! posted:I'd love to see an F1 test session at sebring, aren't most LMP/GTE cars chassis essentially destroyed when they do the 12hrs because of how rough the track is More or less. It's a great endurance race because if your car can't survive the shaker table in track form, how the gently caress do you expect it to survive Le Mans? Though Porsche tested the new 911 RSR on it for 50 hours straight to make sure that thing can survive. And it passed.

It’s not Porsche, it’s sports-car racing. Endurance racing is a whole different thing.

harperdc posted:Wait really? I’ve seen these around and have a couple. They’re not bad for the price. Odd choice for this week though. I think the line up is country specific but yes, I've already got the car if you want some good shots. I've subscribed since episode 1, for 1/6th the price of Minichamps they're very good.

Important information about the development of the new Scuderia Ferrari car: https://www.quotidiano.net/blog/turrini/la-ferrari-ha-messo-a-dieta-la-power-unit-5.4824 1) They made a big effort to lighten the new power-unit. According to Turrini this was one of Mercedes advantages. 2) Looks like they reached their goal (about PU weight). 3) On the dyno they reached 1000hp. 4) According to Turrini Mercedes was already at 1000hp. 5) The current "conditions" (weight & power) are the ones that Ferrari was hoping to have at the end of summer 2017, but it didn't work out. 6) Windtunnel results are showing an important step forward, he says to take this with a pinch of salt though. 7) Only the first Barcelona tests will be able to confirm all this.

I checked and Ferrari has won GPs in every season since 1994 except one. That's a really good record, wow. Would hate to be a team not that consistently great.

I suppose just "Force" only sounds silly because I'm used to "Force India" now. Plenty of random one word teams in the past - Life, Shadow, Spirit, etc. Worst outcome is Force [this is a cool spot] F1 Team
