Auto Union's cars were cooler

quote:

Of the 4 Auto Union racing cars, the Types A, B and C, used from 1934 to 1937 had supercharged V16 engines, and the final car, the Type D used in 1938 and 1939 (built to new 1938 regulations) had a supercharged 3L V12 that developed almost 550 horsepower. Wheelspin could be induced at over 100 mph



Also mid-engined before it was in vogue.

Worst Thread Logic: hey guys, we finally have a moderator who posts here and who seems to actually give a poo poo about this cesspit and gives us cool free poo poo like gang tags and thread title changes. Let's deliberately flout one of the few clear rules she laid out, and needle her over dumb poo poo until she says gently caress it and quits. Then we can get this place back to the way it belongs, shitposting with virtually zero oversight until things get totally sideways and then Hand Knit rolls in here and just like indiscriminately bans or probates half the thread. The good old days!

Could use the time to catch up on anime racing, aka Super GT and Super Formula. Both should be on YouTube if you know where to look. They're already through five rounds of the season.

I'm not saying it wasn't entertaining to watch when I was still just lurking, but surely the current arrangement is by far the preferable option?

Also, I quite enjoyed your assessment of the decline of the British Empire.

I'm pissed off that they seem to have stopped selling the Doctor energy drink, in favour of Lewis', because it did actually cure my flu twice :(

Compared to other MotoGP races maybe, I'd argue that race was still better than alot of races from other series.

We've had needlessly long arguments about this before, but I don't find MotoGP strategy races interesting in the slightest. It's just a roll of the dice.
