Preoptopus posted:Do they tune that thing to specifically to make it smoke like that?/Why does it smoke like that? A diesel engine will belch smoke when running at or above the optimal fuel/air mixture for power, which obviously isn't optimal for emissions compliance. So yes, it's tuned to belch as much smoke as possible and as a side effect extract as much power from the fuel as possible with no regards to emissions. Since diesels are fuel-controlled and not throttled like gas engines, all emissions-legal diesels have an air/fuel mixture which ranges from "ridiculously lean" at idle to "slightly lean" at full bore.

Which is actually fantastic, because then you can go out and buy a several position selectable chip that gives you a very sudden enormous power increase, which feels completely badass.

It was. 8 mini gas turbines. From what I recall, He built a second one and crashed that too, and the association which has to certify large models won't let him make another.

Big jets? Pfft, who cares. An RC glider, propelled by nothing but turbulent wind on the backside of a hill, going 399 mph. That's cool. http://vimeo.com/8356047 RC airplanes are awesome.

I watched it live, there was enough room to stop if things had gone as planned, but Travis said in the post-jump interview that the landing area was practically ice due to condensation.

Do they even need co-drivers? Also, it's funny that some of these guys are BMXers and come from other sports. I guess the event is pretty easy, all things considered.

The co-drivers are crucial when they do their unofficial practice laps. Since the drivers can pretty much memorize a single stage by the official event, they don't need to do as much during it.

Its just a giant loving billboard for random sponcers who have nothing to do with any sort of motorsport. Its no longer man and machine vs mother nature, its home depot vs monster energy. The spirit of rally is dead and thats why im upset. What's next? First person to back flip a rally car?

That was last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5-_kdeOg8E I do feel what you're saying though, I picked up a copy of Colin McRae Dirt 2 and its huge x-games style extreme advertfest and it feels so far removed from what I'd think of as rallying. But if it gets more people and money into actual rallying, is that a bad thing? Manny fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Jan 2, 2010 |
