"He says he's going to be number one!"
Exactly what would make a person want to try stuffing 2 bar into an internally stock, high compression engine? I can only assume that it was done for comedic value, they had a replacement engine they wanted to swap in, and just wanted to see what it would take for a catastrophic failure.

3 bar of boost, apparently.

The Chronicles of Bro-magnon and the quest for fire dyno results.

Broseph pretends that his dyno queen is suitable for sane driving on surface streets. Intense acceleration momentarily knocks the stupid out of his passenger.

Bro-magnon goes questing through the swamp of despair and emerges triumphant with (the means to make) fire.

And the inevitable - running said levels of boost on a drag strip, with slicks. :supaburn:

Why would you try and drive in that after seeing the first car go all over the place? It seems like everyone thinks that they just need to be a little more careful and the physics will work out different for their car.

It did kinda look like a competition for the dumb. Today is a good day for more of the same. its rainy/sleety/haily it can go from wet to icy, then slushy, then crunchy, then icy all within a few minutes. I wont be working on the car today :(

No chance of them all being given standardized pace notes is there? Where someone messed up and put 6L instead of 4L? :lol: that would be an incredible gently caress-up.

I guess that's possible too. It looks like one of those corners where you could carry a lot of speed and you only find out you're wrong as you whiz past your apex.

Derived from 'reconnaissance'. "Going on a recce". In this case the practice run where the co-driver writes his pacenotes for the timed run.

Hmmm. what region of the world is that term from? I would have gotten recon, but not recce (is it pronounced reckie?).

It's probably actually derived from "reconnoiter", which is french.

Which means the Brits probably are the ones who popularized it, having learned a lot of their ground warfare techniques from the Frenchies. And borrowed a lot of their words from the Saxons' occupation of England.

I always assumed it was British thing, but I just looked and apparently it's military shorthand for the Austrailian, Canadian and British.

I could be way off mark here, but it doesn't seem like anyone in that clip has a clue how to navigate a hairpin like a normal monkey. Everyone either backs into it, or just completely overcooks the exit. Wouldn't it be faster to slow down a bit more beforehand and actually keep power on through the whole corner, as opposed to sliding tail first into the turn and then peeling out?

save yourself money, just before an oil change, put about 1 litre of DIESEL in the crank, idle it for a few minutes and drive it around the block slowly. has the same effect.

I don't think putting diesel in your engine is a good idea.
