Porsche may have used the F1 not the F1 RS. Completely different tire Read more

Thanks for the honest question. Unfortunately I just answered that same question a half dozen other times on this post. See if you can find my responses and if you still have any questions I am happy to answer them Read more

Yes they are testing the Roadster drivetrain in a Model S. Thats been known for a while and that is the car they shipped over. Read more

Sigh... ok once again. Read more

I agree. In testing sometimes the throwing some shit at a wall to see what sticks, works. This is not testing, this is setting records. Two totally different things. The drivers they have in the car are not Tesla engineers or test drivers. They are Nurburgring specialists who’s job it is to set a fast lap time. Read more

See my other responses on this thread Read more

As I wrote elsewhere. We had confirmation from Nurburgring officials that Tesla had not contacted them about track time. Either for testing or to set a record prior to the cars landing in Germany. That alone is enough to say that this was done on a whim as manufacturers typically book track time months in advance.… Read more

No it is not wild speculation. We had confirmation from Nurburgring officials that Tesla had not contacted them about track time. Either for testing or to set a record prior to the cars landing in Germany. That alone is enough to say that this was done on a whim as manufacturers typically book track time months in… Read more

Yes us pro drivers know the risk but that doesn’t mean we want to go jumping into every rolling death trap out there. Read more

I don’t fully disagree but its a slippery slope from there. See SCCA production racing from back in the day Read more

Doing things wrong gets you to the end result much more quickly. Or it get you killed... Read more

It may have worked this time. But what about the next, and the next, and the next? Preparation will win out eventually. Read more

Nope not my point at all. The tires part anyways. Everything else is spot on. Read more

No my article was not particularly flattering towards Tesla. Musk did this attempt on a whim and that is simply the wrong way to go about things. Especially things with this level of risk. Read more

Yeah around that. The “jump” leading into sweden kreutz wasn’t a huge deal for pro drivers as most stayed full throttle over it regardless. It was mainly flattened for the Tourist drivers as there were some big crashes there because of it. Read more

Actually you answered your own question. Tires are one of the most important features on any car. When you swapped the tires out on your Toyobaru and saw massive gains you proved just how important they really are. Read more

I drove a Tesla at the Ring 5 years ago and it was a base 65 so I really can’t say with any certainty how a current gen Tesla might perform. Read more

The Porsche Taycan has physically started production. The car is for all intents and purposes is the same as the car that the public can buy. The car that they used for the run is one of their pre production test mules with a few modifications for safety (which is why it has a roll cage). Neither of the Teslas that… Read more

Yes exactly. Tesla is not testing now. Showing up on a whim is not how that works. Read more
