Don’t bother reading all of Fox’s little comparison text below the number. It’s all meaningless drivel to make everything think this is great. It’s good news, not great news.

It’s over a million for a Saturday race as a nascar support. Take the small wins and keep going.

Westin Workman. He’s a TRD Development Driver. Currently running in IMSA VP Challenge and SRO.

I would too.

She’s hoping for Westin to be her driver.

Have a great trip!

Maybe @210ginny.bsky.social will be there.

I’d really love to have a big cloud account, but I’m tapped at 2 TB in my Dropbox.

Amazon does allow unlimited picture storage with a Prime account, but I don’t like it.

Most people in the US can’t even find their own state on a map, let alone a country or even a section of water.

I’d say if your camera can take CFE, and you do a lot of burst shooting, it’s needed.

I always keep a 1 TB SSD with me.

I have a 4 TB external drive at home. Looking at getting one of the big server backup drives that expand to 120 TB.

I previously just bought new cards for each event.

I switched to an R5 for my main camera body and it uses CF Express cards and my budget doesn’t like buying new CFE cards. 😂

I still have 10,000 left to go through from Daytona. 😂

Only 408! 😂

Easy enough to harvest only on the front axle. The single axle regen limits power conversion and part of the issue with the cars being single lap energy starved.

$4800 for a new battery is extortion. You can buy new for $1100.

Part of the issue is the power output from the energy store isn’t sufficient enough to make it through a full lap at full power. This is FIA ruleset limited. If they had allowed a larger store, they wouldn’t have the clipping now. Also if they allowed front axle harvesting would solve problems.

Directionally, F1/FIA need to work with the teams to identify where the cars should be developed, not how to limit the development. The cost cap is a good example. WEC hypercar is another.

F1 rule makers are trying to find ways to minimize the effect of downforce, but they are a tiny staff of smart people trying to outthink literally THOUSANDS of some of the smartest minds in aerodynamics on the planet, along with thousands of engineers who are the greatest problem solvers.

The only way you remove the “Downforce Olympics” is to completely remove them from the rules of the cars, which is fundamentally impossible.

Any car traveling at any speed through the air is going to generate downforce.

Yeah…

Off the top of my head and without a massive amount of detail that would require a term paper to write.

I do have a day job… 🫤

Public schools are barely public and rely on student tuition for a significant portion of their operating budget. That requires students to want to be there, and that means they have to compete with others for enrollment. Fully fund schools with taxpayer dollars and then you can call them an agency.

TAMU is a cult school. They literally are all nuts. My school doesn’t have a rivalry with them.

It’s hideous more because of the school than the actual school.

I was wondering if they were going to have a car livery when I saw the logo on top of FRO’s helmet at Phoenix.

Lots of schools have sponsored cars before.

What’s the difference in advertising on the side of a race car and buying a commercial on TV?

FRO with TAMU as his primary for Arlington.

Hideous.

I have tempered expectations for the Temerario’s debut, but I think they will be easily eclipsed. My concerns are driver related.

Mirko Bortolotti will just crash…

Do you want a detailed engineering summary?

The cars are underpowered, energy starved, and still too large.
