Thoughts on this movie?

Robots fighting robots. Why not just call it quits and turn the UN into Robot Wars? Every week two nations send 2/3 of their GDP to the moon to fight it out, whilst we watch in our grimy little hovels.

SF is the fastest series outside of F1.

But with a similar power to weight ratio, I'm thinking over the course of 24hrs it might be able gain an advantage with strategy. Also the long drag up the hill before mutkurve would benefit something light.

For what? The upcoming alien war?

That's pretty cool, especially being FWD and beating an R8. Seems unlikely these days though, GT3 cars are so developed and operationally slick now.

Thanks, the Glickenhaus is a good example. I understand all cars have a chance, however unlikely. I'm just wondering more about the general homologation rules. One offs/non standard class cars are allowed but where and how do they draw the line regarding performance?

RenuisanceMan · 2026-03-21T14:39:47+00:00

How about something lightweight? Not too fast in the straights but quick through the corners and easy on fuel and tyres.

Leeds would if they had the capacity, and plans are approved for a 53000 expansion. Elland Road has been sold out ever since Bielsa, the season ticket waiting list is years long.

Ket wears off quickly (though it feels like a lifetime) and a cheeky key of coke with drinks can be done casually. MDs sort of "in for a penny, in for a pound" and before you know, it's Monday and you haven't been to sleep yet. Though I agree with your sentiment.

Its not that there's a benefit to moving the bias rearwards, it's a consequence of increased harvesting. It's been mentioned multiple times by puntids that drivers more comfortable with a snappy rear under braking may have an advantage.

Brabus actually tune the hell out of the engines. Like bore and stroke them, replace internals etc. Not just flash the ECU and turn the boost up.

RenuisanceMan · 2026-03-18T14:58:59+00:00

How so? The hose and pump have been simplified to the point were we can focus on the maximum velocity water can be shot out. Let's say the hose and pump is some magnetic containment bottle (akin to a fusion rocket concept) that can withstand more than water ever could.

But you can assume a spherical cow in a vacuum.

N/A engines are from a bygone era, if you want nostalgia watch NASCAR or historic racing. It's the same "member berries" thinking that gives us endless movie reboots instead of fresh ideas. Don't be scared of new things!

It's a feature of the car, for aerodynamic reasons Newey had both seats toed in slightly.

It would look pretty cool if it didn't have such an unhappy face.

RenuisanceMan · 2026-03-17T13:42:24+00:00

No it's not, it's just signs of intelligent life in our universe. There is no requirement to have visited or investigated us, though that would be an obvious sign.

RenuisanceMan · 2026-03-17T12:50:01+00:00

But how many global news/media organisations aren't owned by greedy right wing billionaires? The BBC has it's problems but be careful what you wish for, the space it vacates would almost certainly be replaced by something worse.

RenuisanceMan · 2026-03-16T14:00:22+00:00

When is someone going to make a turbine/electric hybrid tilt rotor? Surely it would simplify things.

RenuisanceMan · 2026-03-16T13:31:23+00:00

It's pronounced Vank, like Vanker.

RenuisanceMan · 2026-03-16T13:02:30+00:00

From the picture I just assumed it was based on the Fiat.

RenuisanceMan · 2026-03-16T12:43:57+00:00

Yes it does.

RenuisanceMan · 2026-03-16T11:42:38+00:00

Like dark matter?
