bruises for tveter, broken heel bones and fractured vertabrae for li. only the former will require surgery. ultimately a pretty lucky outcome.

VikingSkull posted:I was really gonna bite my tongue but I've been saying for years that's a solution both F1 and Indycar should be looking at. Both could go whatever way they want with it, but 5.0L V8's seem to be the perfect engines for open wheel cars. I like the turbos as much as anyone, but poo poo, that sound. well the problem is that you will get zero auto manufacturers to have anything to do with that engine formula. so it's really a question of how much you like money. and top-level racing teams like money a lot.

how many major racing series have developed new engine specs in the several years? how many have done so with direct and significant manufacturer involvement? how many have introduced engines similar to what you're describing? people don't present "proof" because it's patently obvious to anyone who spends a modicum of time following racing, which you would expect of someone who posts in 18 different racing threads. i also don't explain what cars are before every post. that knowledge is implied. you do this poo poo to yourself, viking.

njsykora posted:But when you're making what I assume is a spec series no-one really gives a poo poo about what the manufacturers want so long as you can find one that'll make you an engine. which is fine for F5000, but absolutely not an option for indycar and F1, unless they've just given up on being relevant

it doesn't matter that they can find a way to make it happen. no one said they couldn't. the problem is that it ends any manufacturer interest in investing in the sport, and non-auto sponsors would likely reconsider being involved in something so rear end backwards and dated. nobody is going to spend their marketing budget on that sport, you get nothing out of it.

all of these manufacturers make minivans, too. should indycar race minivans? the existence of V8s in road cars is not what anyone is talking about. you know that, and yet you persist.

besides - we've gone over this. manufacturers were given basically a blank slate by the FIA and indycar to design engines. no one wanted a V8. you are wrong, sorry, i hope we can never have this idiot conversation ever again.
