    It seems that the 'torque demand' pedal in the current crop of F1 cars is almost infinitely adjustable via software, so I suspect it tells us more about the the foot controlling the pedal on this occasion. Not heard of Jesus Savez, was he any good? 🤭 He has been around a little while now, even...

    Yes, correct! We would not normally fit the roll bar links on until the car has been on the flat patch for set up. Once the wheels are pointing the right ways, the spring platforms will be adjusted to get the corner weights correct, as below: Once we have the car without cross weight, we adjust...

    On Monday I went down to a village just outside Silverstone to take some parts for the 'nut and bolt' rebuild of our classic Formula Ford car. I originally build the car new in 1979 here in Norfolk for a young South American driver. The car won championships in period and has won the Classic...

    Mac's Tech car

    I had to take some parts over to Silverstone today and check on the rebuild of our Classic Formula Ford race car. Just because I can, I decided to take the EV. I couldn't have picked a nicer day! We had sun, rain, gales, hail and temperatures down to 5 deg on my way back near Bedford. The car...

    The Moto GP stars put on a spectacular show in the US race yesterday. Great racing, thrills and spills, many possible winners and edge of the seat stuff. It has given Liberty Media a great springboard for the growth of MotoGP in the Sates and worldwide. Let's hope they capitalise on that, after...

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    Not on the road, but on a Mercedes ML in a field along my dog walk, where agricultural drainage contractors were at work. Y8 WET A question obviously asked by the land owners when effective drainage can be installed.....

    Liberty have said that they will not change Moto GP, we'll just have to see how long that hold true for:dk: PS. Is LIV golf any different from a VW Golf? The VW is the only one I would recognise!

    Mac an' his cars eh!

    The Taycan is a lovely car. It did make me giggle when I gave it the beans. Not sure if that was the time warp acceleration or the silly space ship noises, but humorous non the less, if verging on violent for any passengers. I could relax into the car within a few miles and it all felt...

    Comes with government stealth warning. Goes like stink. .....I've checked! Do I want one? Head says maybe, even the dogs would fit in! (Even if I would have to peel them off the inside of the rear window occasionally!) My wallet says no.

    Mac an' his cars eh!

    The difference is that you required some skill to do the standing start in a 220. Juggling clutch, throttle and tyre grip and trying hard not to disappear in a cloud of tyre smoke. There is no skill in just pressing the loud pedal in the Taycan and listening to synthesied space ship noises...

    Did you say you worked in IT? ...because your message certainly got through to Porsche Norwich! Taycan 4S cross Turismo is my loan car for the day, murdered out to within an inch of it's wheel caps:eek: Nobody is going to spot me in this as they will probably never see it ...

    As an engineer, I'm continually inquisitive to know what is available and what the latest technical advances are in the automotive world. There is no penalty to this addiction. There is to giving in to temptation.....normally financial :doh:
