gently caress BURGMEISTER.

There's protecting your line and then there's driving a much slower car all over the loving track so someone can NEVER pass you. If anyone agrees with the Porsche victory, then I'm sure they won't have an issues when the guy sitting on pole position just adds 30 feet of bodywork to either side of the car and drives 5mph the whole race.

I can't remember the last time I saw such bullshit on a track. I suppose the slower car can always win if you never take your eyes off the rearview.

I can’t help but wonder what was going through the drivers mind at the time.

Oh wow well that's a totally acceptable reason to run over multiple people instead of simply pulling off into a side street.
Well of course. I'd do it but the bike rack on the back of my car would send mixed messages.

Just finished it; amazing, and so so sad. It really makes me hate Colin Chapman.

So... A GT3, a CBR1000RR and an R1 drive onto the freeway :stare:

Jesus gently caress. When the rear end steps out, just, gently caress.

I don't know that it's much of a comparison. Take a NASCAR, get all 4 wheels off the ground, and slam just the corner of it into the driver's door of another at that speed. I think it'd buckle also. You can't compare a head on into Armco.

I think the comparison he's making is the second impact on Gordon's car - it looked pretty head-on into the driver's door.

RCR was a neat gimmick for like the first 6 months or so when it was some dude's hobby to make some really strange car videos once in a while.

He's now a simulacra of RCR.

This isn’t automotive, but it is vintage machinery - I was following the tow of the Keewatin today and found this channel while looking for video of it. A drone operator has been filming ships passing Port Huron on the St. Clair River where it meets Lake Huron. There’s hundreds of videos.

The Great Lakes have some of the oldest cargo ships still operating commercially in the world, as old as the 40s, some still steam powered.

Keewatin, built 1907. Museum ship that is being relocated.

Alpena, built 1942, hauling bulk cement.

Arthur M Anderson, built in the 1950s, the ship that was following the Edmund Fitzgerald when it disappeared.

Lee A. Tregurtha, 1942 oil tanker heavily modified into a bulk freighter. It displays WWII campaign ribbons on the bridge wing.

St Marys Challenger, built 1906. Sailed under its own power for over a hundred years before being converted into a barge.

Hell yes - and check this out for tracking!

Also the Alpena was cut and shortened, which is wild to consider
