Zip! posted:Really when you think about it, there should be no regulations at all. Let teams turn up with jet engines. Was a thing for a bit. Shame Indy banned it in 1970. a steam turbine    \ now mind you, these weren't actually jet propulsion, just a turbin powering the driveshaft, silly to ban them though, they were unreliable af and never won anything despite being fast as hell.

the worst take??? https://racer.com/2021/02/08/miller-the-comeback-club/ quote:Now it’s obviously great that he was able to jump out of his burning car and emerge with only second-degree burns on his hands and has no lingering affects that would prevent him from continuing his career. And had a few of his cards fallen differently, it might have been a far more serious outcome. But as it was, it was more of a close call than anything near fatal.

I wrote an essay about inter-war grandprix and fascism as an undergrad, basically, it was even crazier than that. The drivers were "wing commanders" in the Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps, and expected to act as soldiers for German soft power. Rudolf Caracciola famously drove Hitler around in his Mercedes. After the war, he tried to enter a merc in the indy 500, only to have it promptly seized for, you know, being nazi property. The sport was supposed to be the most real, the manliest, the pinnacle of the futurist ideal. Men racing around to death traps, dying to go faster, to see over the edge a fulfill humanity's great potential through technology and national supremacy; it obsessed the nazis more than even the Olympics.    The Americans loved the nazi racers so much, that when they came over to race the champ cars at Roosevelt speedway, the officials told the drivers to paint bigger swastikas on their cars, because apparently the Americans just loved that. Caraccoila's trophies are now at the IMS museum, he gave them all to the Hulman's as a gift for letting him recover at their place after he drove face-first into a bird and cracked his skull. wisconsingreg fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Mar 2, 2021 |

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:This car had mechanical traction control by the way. The Germans had tremendous engineering back then. Just the best. It goes basically without saying, but all that "streamlining" made the car basically undrivable. Auto Union's attempt at the streamliner went as expected: before:  11 minutes later:
