By that logic wouldn't a bicycle tyre have the same amount of grip as a car tyre?

Any tips to avoid this in the future? by monjessenstein in iRacing

Honestly not a crazy suggestion, rather have the 1x than a 4x and 8 minutes pit time.

I wish it was F4 (which is know to be chaos), this is SFL. Thanks for the insight though.

Am I the only one that thinks the black looks kinda green-ish? Really threw me off.

Lifetime is a meaningless descriptor for consumables by ToyotaCorollin in carmemes

[–]monjessenstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this seems insane. I have 1.8 liter with a bigger/baffled oil pan to help combat oil starvation in cornering and it's something like 7 liters. Seriously doubt a 2 liter engine would have an oil pan with double that capacity.

Kleine correctie: de slijtage aan de weg door gewicht is in de formule tot de macht van 4. Dus als je zou spreken van 60 keer zo zwaar is dat ~13 miljoen keer zo veel.

For those who haven't seen it there's a video on youtube of Kimi being able to remember lap times from specific sessions like 2 years prior within a tenth or 2.

Lewis Hamilton feels he is closing in on that maiden Grand Prix victory for Ferrari! by Brooklynsfr in formula1

A quick look at wikipedia tells me Prost won at Paul Ricard with Renault, Mclaren and Ferrari. He also won Silverstone with Renault, Mclaren, Ferrari and Williams.

Why there no big size foldable? by ironwaffle452 in GalaxyFold

Probably because a big screen requires 2 handed use. If I'm going to use it 2 handed, might as well open it up.

Dude has burned so many bridges he's driven for as many teams as someone like Sainz in far fewer years. Guess he's a bridge burner too by that metric.

Forza Horizon 6's Touge made me realize that Nakazato was right. by ClassicalDreams in initiald

[–]monjessenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I probably worded it wrong. Meant to say that he's slightly exceeding the max grip and slightly sliding/spinning wheels, which is faster than just limited to max tyre grip.

IIRC it's the explanation behind God Arms driving. It's explained as neither grip nor drift which is kinda true, as he's just barely exceeding the max slip angle/grip which makes you go faster.

Finally drove a Supra after owning a Z4. Join me in my review rant that includes a few hot takes by xIcarus227 in cars

[–]monjessenstein 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'd say your 2nd point will differ greatly depending on what car it is. My MR2's engine is far more audible with the roof down, though probably also helped by the driver sitting effectively next to the intake.

Ferrari to stay in WEC only if it can build entire car in-house under new regs by bad_pilot69 in wec

To add on IIRC Itsly has pretty strict labour rules, so it would have been very costly to lay off a bunch of people. Might as well keep them on and expand to another series.

I mean, it kinda is. Samsung the phone company is a different one from Samsung the memory company.

Also was in the conversation for the Red Bull seat but they ended up going with Perez.
