What place is Mark in?

 

I love the tech stuff with Matchett.

That is amazing! From 19000 RPM to total standstill in 0.2 seconds!

 

Thats crazy fast, i cant beleive they can do that!!!

 

It's crazy how small those clutches are! About the same size as the Carrera GT's. Really hard to believe the F1 engines will stall in .2 seconds though with a clutch that small. There must be insane amount of friction inside those engines. Probably because of the short connecting rods. Makes for great piston acceleration so the car can get into the powerband sooner, but creates massive amounts of friction.

Can anyone tell I'm going to school for Automotive Engineering?

 

I was gonna say, DAMN, you know your stuff brother. I'll just keep quiet about tech stuff from now on.

 

The one they had about the crash structures a few races back was really interesting too. Same with the one about the exhaust systems. The headers on these cars are made from Inconel and cost $50K+ per cylinder bank!!!

 

Yeah i couldn't understand half of what you said, but it sounded interesting.

 

uh? sorry Azilla i dont know what launguage u are speaking.

 

Ferrari 2 penalties - McLaren 7 penalties. Joke.

 

I'm graduating this coming spring so I've been trying to get a job with Flying Lizard Motorsports, but I wouldn't mind scoring a gig in F1 either...
