@goosehd Cheers to all of ya! Thanks for making kickass cloths and being around to share obsessions!

21ib, uhf, 362, perfect for todays weather

888SBG and Mad Red Motherfucker went for a ride today. X-post.

Been a while since I had the ducks out. With the double cloth sawtooth and some blacksmiths

Look who decided to show up!

14oz and 16oz sbg

My new 92 and some sbgeez

So I've done a bit of research and I'm trying to wrap my head around this new PU. It's surprising difficult as they seem pretty cagey about details. "Just watch, you'll like it, lots of overtakes."

total power over 1,000 HP, but this breaks down into a distribution of kW, which i dont understand as well.
ICE = about 400kW
Electric Motor = about 350kW
Overtake = 0.5MJ

I'm sure the electic motor isn't pure drag at all times the "Boost" button isn't pressed, right? Or is it purely running on the ICE at about 540hp?

Seems like they probably have a split that is 'Boosted' like 20% with the button. Then maybe another 10% with "overtake"? (i swear i heard Jacques, say something like this during the broadcast.)

Thing is, How does the FIA regulate exactly the output and discharge of the various 0.5MJ for "overtake" when the systems are bespoke? If one car were to regularly find itself in a DRS-Train, ahem, "Overtake-train" would they theoretically place higher wear on their components via hyper discharge?

Just brainstorming, feel free to join me

The worst part is -despite our objections, I'm sure they'll consider it a successful season and rule era, thanks to the boosted viewership they're certainly getting with Apple, Netflix, and the F1 movie.

New leather drop. Really digging this Sandstone Mohave roughout.

While it was an entertaining race, I’m not sure I’m into this race dynamic/rhythm with the focus on battery charging/deployment. It seems gimmicky and the overtaking artificial. There’s still a lot of strategy but like LeClerc so eloquently stated “It is like the mushroom on Mario Kart.” I don’t think I can stand Russell dominating the year, so hopefully Ferrari and Max can close the performance gap, which seems to be largely overstated by pretty much everyone.

Still didn’t like how it turned out so I hit it with brown candy with some silver flake over top. Still don’t like it but I needed to get it back together, it’s too nice out not to ride it.

@Bridger said in Motor Sport:

I'm a big Honda fan. I suspect Aston will not have a good start to the season. However, I think a Honda Newey combo will deliver something. Newey knows Honda. I can't imagine that Aston has a Honda is a coincidence.

There's an interesting dynamic there. It seems like their vibration/performance issues are transmission related, so i'm sure once they resolve that, they'll have a huge jump in performance.

Another interesting thing is the RBPT/Ford is probably more Honda than Ford actually, from what I've read. Seeing as Ford has apparently hugely overstated their involvement in the PU's development, with RB building on their knowledge from their previous partnership with Honda.

@94atromero hell yea, that looks great man. What did you use to paint that?
I'll be watching for updates!

@94atromero thanks bud. Yeah they're Burly 10.5" i think with +4 tubes. shoulda got +6 though, i'll probably swap with my bro in law cuz he's a shorty and it puts him on his tippy toes. Make sure you post pics of your build!
