Tony Montana posted:Of course. The calipers would count for a good percentage of the overall weight of a wheel assembly, minus the wheel. Moving it from the side to the bottom is exactly the sort of fractions of a percent that F1 is all about. I flunked out of engineering after 1 year and went to like 3 Formula SAE design meetings while there and I still have a totally unreasonable hard on for minimizing unsprung weight. The first time I heard about unsprung aero I nearly had an aneurysm.

I think I would've had a blast doing Formula SAE but all my ideas would've driven everybody else up the wall and I would've had zero credibility backing it up being in absolutely nothing related to that in my varied university career. Edit: Really bad idea I've literally had to myself: a poor man's FRIC/active suspension for a kart using rotary valves. F1DriverQuidenBerg fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Apr 28, 2017 |

Tsaedje posted:"Here's our guest, and they've died" is potentially funny the first time you see it, and because they had a different audience each time who'd never seen it before, they got the false impression that it was really funny and not tedious. Repeat for every tepid running gag Actually that's a drat good point, the studio parts of Top Gear are filmed the week of transmission, so they can react to feedback. They'd filmed the whole of TGT before they released episode 1. So I imagine there's a lot of changes for season 2 that would normally have been made mid-season 1.

Watching Bernie walking through a paddock full of TVs crews and journalists talking to one guy while being completely ignored by everyone else would be tragic if it weren't so funny.

First Renault engine of the race weekend lunched, oh wait this is chuffing cool. He's re-set the car and is starting it up again while parked at the side of the track. Oh wait, Charlie said it was taking too long and made him turn it off again  gently caress Charlie.

Grossjean is legit scared in there: "I've completely lost it into turn three! (Something about understeer) what the hell is going on!" Followed by loving boring mcdoogle of all people implying he is a poor driver and that it was his own fault.
