That's kind of the problem with hydrogen, unless we start mining the stuff directly out of the fucking sun, it's not gonna be very green. Much like electric cars in general. At the end of the day they'll all still require fossil fuels to run.

its a bad idea that removes the only advantage of hydrogen which is the lack of batteries
Nathaniel Clark
>At the end of the day they'll all still require fossil fuels to run. that's true, but a generator can be made to run cleaner than a car, since a generator can run at a very optimized rev and temp range, versus a car which operates in all sorts of temperatures and rev ranges.

This is why the extended hydrogen bullshit talk earlier pissed me off so much. >So you put hydrogen in the tank- >"-which is water-" >Yes, hydrogen is just water, that's what makes it so great! It's not fucking water, it's water with the oxygen removed and that's kind of a big fucking deal to accomplish.
Levi Jones
wec's live timing site is shit some user posted a script on github for a command line thing
the issue here is that during the production of the fuel tons of co2 is created, the only way to get rid of it is putting it underground or releasing it into the atmosphere So you either make massive underground pressure bombs or release it killing the entire point If they find some way to not create co2 that's also cheap it'd be okay

bros I matched with a smoking hot blonde 23 year old on tinder last night and she wanted sex but I chickened out at the last minute because I didn't want my first time to be on a one night hookup. Will I regret this decades from now when Im a kissless boomer?
Hunter Barnes
The reality behind all of this talk is very simple, you shouldn't be owning/driving a personal car. You should be using car sharing/public transport. That is unrealistic though so we are left in this world where people offer options which are all pretty much equally negative.

>sex vs intimacy They're two different things. Saving your virginity for that special lady is something that people who are scared of rejection tell themselves. >I would not want her to bear and raise my children, so I'm not even going to ask her out. is a lot easier on your self-esteem than putting yourself out there and possibly getting shot down.
Juan James
Hydrogen would be great if they stuck with dumping water out of exhaust.
Sounds like a comfy job lads. I bet the French teams just get a local bistrot to provide.
Ryan Young
sex is a fun activity enjoyed between men and women. intimacy is an emotional expression.
For example, you can have a fun dinner with your friends, and an intimate dinner with your girlfriend. You wouldn't tell yourself that you'll only ever go out for dinner with your girlfriend, would you?
M8 I maybe could get 50MBit for 20bucks. My other m8 could get get 400MBit for around 40 to 50 bucks, but choose 50 for 20 cause "why the fuck i need that much". Doesnt make it better I share those 16 with 2 other people.

Why are they needing to change break pads on so many cars, did they figure out it's something that changed things into being more safe, did they find out they would wear too much over time?

Tyler King
they buff it out
Juan Sullivan
>Are the engines still good after this? They would sell them to NASCAR cup series teams but they still have too much HP and torque
GTE always changes them, you lose too much braking power towards the end of the race.
Ethan Brown
Anything can go at any time, depends on how well you prepare. In theory if the car has no issues it is okay at the end, aside from wear that anything would take for using it a full day without stopping.
Caleb Thomas
It is mandatory now over the 24h race for all cars and not even only in this series. There are even some webms Audi LMP1 changing whole brake assemblies in about 90s. It was since ever surely safe. it would wear out, but no one would ever take time for it unless mandatory (like now) PS: Brake instead of break
Honestly how hard would it be to pack a few cots. Hell even an inflatable mattress.
Ryder Moore

Do it yourself then.
No, it is very recently. Just a few years or so.
Maybe. I am just sure about the GT classes. But even there. They wont have simple steel brakes. At least CSic-brakes I guess. Also Carbon-brakes detoriate over time too if especially not in right temperature-usage. But that is only talk about discs. Pads are still a thing to change over the 24h. It is still somewhat a research how the braking-mechanism really works at all.
It's only about $100 in tool but enjoy being cucked by your mechanic

ffs it isnt even that much. Especially in the long run. Guess you are even afraid of the 3rd pedal.

SPOOKY STORY TIME /lm24/
>The 1955 Le Mans disaster occurred during the 24 Hours of Le Mans motor race at Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France on 11 June 1955. A major crash caused large fragments of debris to fly into the crowd, killing 83 spectators and French driver Pierre Bouillin, and injuring nearly 180 more. >The crash started when Jaguar driver Mike Hawthorn cut in front of Austin-Healey driver Lance Macklin to reach his pit stop, prompting Macklin to swerve into the path of Levegh, who was passing on the left in his much faster Elektron magnesium-alloy bodied Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR. Levegh rear ended Macklin at high speed, overriding Macklin's car and launching his own car through the air. Levegh struck a protective dirt berm at 200 km/h (125 mph), disintegrating and igniting his car, throwing him onto the track where he was instantly killed, and sending large pieces of flaming debris cartwheeling over the berm and into the packed grandstand—including the engine block and hood.

That's pretty based. It doesn't sound like much, but the hardest job I've done is putting a front sway bar on a Volkswagen. It was mostly easy until we had to put the subframe back on. I had a kit for it and my dad got frustrated and crossthreaded the bolts. Such a mess...
Mason Smith
The hood actually flew through the crowd and decapitated some spectators.
Pierre was worried about the car all weekend as well. some of his closer friends said he didn't feel comfortable at all in the car and that it didn't drive right.
Christian Lewis
dealerships and shops want about 3100 to put a new battery in it. You can do it yourself with just a few tools, a multimeter, and insulated gloves. The cells themselves only cost about $20 on ebay. I did the whole thing for about $140 for tools and cells. Saved a fuckton of money

>On lap 35, Hawthorn and Fangio were racing as hard as ever. In his biography, Hawthorn said he was "momentarily mesmerized by the legend of the Mercedes superiority... Then I came to my senses and thought ‘Damn it, why should a German car beat a British car.' >The lap before, Hawthorn's pit crew had signaled for him to come in the next lap. He had just lapped Levegh (running 6th) after Arnage (one of the corners of the race track) and was determined to keep Fangio at bay as long as possible. > Coming out of the Maison Blanche portion of the course, he rapidly caught Lance Macklin in his Austin Healey 100S, who had seen him and moved over to the right to let him pass. Putting another lap on Macklin coming up to the main straight, Hawthorn then raised his hand to indicate he was pitting and pulled across to the right (from Hawthorn's testimony).[8][9] What caught Macklin out though was that Hawthorn, using his advanced disc brakes, braked very hard to be able to slow the Jaguar from such a speed in time.

Connor Flores
>Macklin, who also braked hard, ran off the right-hand edge of the track, throwing up dust. Macklin tried to avoid Hawthorn, whether it was an instinctive swerve from surprise, or a loss of control from going onto the change of road-surface, or his car's disc brakes operating unevenly. As a result, Macklin's car veered across to the centre of the track, apparently briefly out of control. This however put him into the path of Levegh's Mercedes-Benz, closing at over 200 km/h (120 mph), intent on doing another lap and in front of Fangio, who was patiently waiting to pass. Levegh did not have time to react, but with possibly his last action, raised his hand warning Fangio, thereby probably saving Fangio's life. Fangio, with his eyes shut, but with his own quick reflexes, squeezed through the carnage, just brushing Hawthorn's now-stationary Jaguar in the pits, but getting through unscathed.
>Levegh's right-front wheel rode up onto the left rear corner of Macklin's car, which acted as a ramp and launched Levegh's car into the air, flying over spectators and rolling end over end for 80 metres (260 ft) Levegh was thrown free of the tumbling car, but his skull was fatally crushed when he hit the ground.
>The hood actually flew through the crowd and decapitated some spectators. fucking metal as fuck

>Everyone expected the race to be red-flagged and stopped. Given the scale of the disaster, however, the race officials kept the race running because, if the huge audience crowd had tried to leave en masse, they would have choked the main roads around, severely impeding access for medical and emergency crews trying to save the injured. >Levegh's co-driver, American John Fitch, was suited up ready to take over the car at the upcoming pit-stop and was standing with Levegh's wife Denise Bouillin. They saw the whole catastrophe unfold. Levegh's lifeless body, severely burned, lay in full view on the pavement until a gendarme hauled down a banner to cover it. His wife was inconsolable and Fitch stayed with her until she could be comforted. Half an hour after the crash he realised that news was probably being broadcast on the radio, and he needed to telephone his family to reassure them that he was not the driver of the crashed car. When he got to the media centre to use a telephone, he got his first inkling of the sheer enormity of the disaster, overhearing a reporter filing that 48 deaths were already confirmed.
Yea the dealership asked for $2k aud and private $500(if i got the parts) So i got the part and just decided to do it myself. If you know any electricians ask if you can buy bigger cables to run to the motor. its an easy way to save some power loss especially when flooring it.

Here comes the SPOOKY part:
>On 22 January 1959, only three months into his retirement, Mike Hawthorn died in a car accident on the A3 Guildford bypass while driving his comprehensively-modified 1958 Jaguar 3.4-litre saloon (now known as the 3.4 Mk 1) VDU 881 to London. While the circumstances of the accident are well documented, the precise cause remains unknown. >The accident occurred on a notoriously dangerous section of the road, the scene of 15 serious accidents (two fatal) in the previous two years; the road was also wet at the time. Driving at speed (one witness estimated 80 m.p.h.), Hawthorn overtook a Mercedes-Benz 300SL 'gull-wing' sports car driven by an acquaintance, the motor racing team manager Rob Walker. On entering a right-hand bend shortly after passing the Mercedes, Hawthorn clipped a 'Keep Left' bollard dividing the two carriageways, causing him to lose control. The Jaguar glanced an oncoming Bedford lorry before careering back across the eastbound carriageway sideways into a roadside tree, uprooting it. The impact caused Hawthorn fatal head injuries and propelled him onto the rear seat.
Holy shit, this is some Final Destination shit, 83 people died as a result of a Mercedes overtaking a Jaguar, and several years later, the driver who caused such carnage dies overtaking a Mercedes in his Jaguar

Tires are decided by contract. At one point, Michelin and Bridgestone supplied F1, with Bridgestone handily winning the tire war. Both brands pulled out eventually, since tire research in F1 yields limited benefit in real world applications. Pirelli picked up the contract since. Meanwhile, Michelin's sportscar tires made a big name for themselves, and now you see everybody wanting to use Michelins in sportscar racing, and in road cars you and I can buy tires for. Look at Formula E's long lasting tires with tread, and tell me they don't look an awful lot like Pilot Sport 4S'.

Monaco gets the bad rap because it was a track designed in 1929 on small streets in a time where cars have gotten bigger and bigger. So there is barely any passing now because 2 cars can't fit into a corner and you can be fred flinstone and still win because tire wear doesn't mean anything.

Where do you live? If it snows where you live, even a little like in WA, it's always worth it to have winter tires. They perform better at temperatures around 0. All seasons are no seasons. If you've got space to store an extra set of winter tires on cheap steel whees, you should do it. Then you'll have better grip in the summer and winter. A good summer tire should have plenty of water evacuation ability too, so not to worry about hydroplaning. Check out TireRack's surveys.
