Those shift points are darn close and at low revs. My money says Porsche is going to Le Mans with an oil burner.SKE1138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-60392181574566529482013-11-12T23:03:37.867-05:002013-11-12T23:03:37.867-05:00What in the hell is the engine?

Since when does noise hurt the environment as well?<br /><br /><br />The sound of the cars is a big part of the spectacle which is why I never see Formula E really taking off. I'm hoping they're just overdoing the hybrid thing like they did in the aero era of F1 a few years ago and will scale it back over time as the technology improves.aclasschrishttp://aclassblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-44948830511271793952013-11-12T20:53:15.792-05:002013-11-12T20:53:15.792-05:00well, it sounds better than the dieselswell, it sounds better than the dieselsAxisACnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-17459209598368952982013-11-12T17:43:31.879-05:002013-11-12T17:43:31.879-05:00Where's the noise?

We are entering an era of quiet race cars and it leaves me cold. I might have turn to drag racing. Noise is a big part of the excitement of racing as far as I'm concerned.dicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-965614585763491572013-11-12T15:54:53.172-05:002013-11-12T15:54:53.172-05:00The problem with the proposal is that Stefan Roser...The problem with the proposal is that Stefan Roser actually had talent. As a result, he managed to keep that beast of a car on the road. Ken on the other hand struggles to keep his modern and extremely advanced Fiesta away from the cliff edges.CLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-76308735614197565262013-11-12T15:51:53.057-05:002013-11-12T15:51:53.057-05:00That driving is about 10x better than anything ken...That driving is about 10x better than anything ken block has ever doneJonnoreply@blogger.com
