Well, "medium" as opposed to Monaco which has a lot less time for the brakes to cool off. Also, F1 stuff is carbon/carbon, no ceramic involved. Though yeah, that showed up on aircraft first.

I guy in our local RX-7 club just posted this on Facebook last night: In his words: " I just finished a 1929 ford vintage speedster with a 6 port motor, custom intake, 4 barrel carb, and T2 trany."   I'll get more pictures and videos as soon as I can.

Wait my whole disappointment with Project CARS when I got it in a steam sale was there wasn't a single Corvette. When did it get a C7.R? Is that paid dlc or something? Edit: ahh yeah in february. Cool, might have to jump back into that. davebo fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Apr 12, 2016 |

Alighieri posted:Then again that was the maximum worst case scenario, artificially worn brake assemblies to simulate lack of maintenance along with no reverse thrust and braking right as they hit V1. I have to take exception to this statement. The brakes are milled down to their wear limit. It's not to simulate the lack of maintenance, because if the brakes are above that limit, they're not due for replacement. If the manufacturer wanted more brake on the pad before replacing them, they'd have made the limit higher. And, as we see, the brakes stopped the plane just fine, so the limit wasn't too low. The fuse plugs in the wheels got modified after that test, so that was the major problem there.

I can't even fathom decelerating at 5.7g. Or 5.7g along any axis for that matter. Goddamn Formula 1 drivers are nuts.

Targa tasmaina. My mates 240z that I was service crewing on had a 48 second lead in classic gt going into day 3. He binned it after lunch and took out a disabled Porsche tour gt3. Pretty annoyed about it but hey if your going to go out taking a 360k AUD Porsche with you is a good way to go. Anyway back to drinks.
