Yeah, sorry, I could only afford one. I’ve always loved Koenigsegg.

Oh brilliant, I will be watching this when I’m back home! I’ve always loved his technical insight.

I am not sure if this is knowledge that will ever come in handy, but I am proud that I can recognise tracks and corners from a single photo with no context :slight_smile:

Imola, Variante Alta… I hope!

I like this game and I thought I was alone in this. It doesn’t only happen in snippets of videos of motoracing but also other sports.

In my mind I am quietly guessing the track, corner, country, player, etc. and quietly judging myself.

It is a fun game. Had to double check for that angle, and you’re 100% correct.

Taking that photo couldn’t have been easy. I would have also been kakking myself as the driver of that.

Great video about the Lexus LFA exhaust note. It goes into the engineering as well as sound and music theory. Won’t let me embed though.

Nice to see that the Hoonigans’ are still keeping Ken Block and the Gymkhana spirit alive.

Travis Pastrana takes on the Outback, Sydney’s Harbour, and Bathurst’s Mount Panorama among other locales, from behind the wheel of the Subaru “Brataroo” 9500 Turbo: a re-imagining of a 1978 Subaru BRAT engineered as a purpose-built Gymkhana weapon.

Also, the Aussie Health and Safety regulations must have been a nightmare to navigate to allow them to drive those public places. Even in a controlled environment.

And also also… TIL about the Subaru BRAT. What a cool little thing that is/was.

World’s First Solid-State Production Vehicle | Say Goodbye to Range Anxiety

Solid-state batteries have been promised for years.
Today, Verge Motorcycles delivers.

The Verge TS Pro becomes the world’s first production motorcycle powered by an all-solid-state battery, helping riders say goodbye to range anxiety and slow charging for good.

With this breakthrough technology, the Verge TS Pro delivers up to 370 miles (600 km) of range and adds up to 186 miles (300 km) in under 10 minutes — safely, reliably, and without compromise. Charging becomes a short stop, not the end of your ride.

Paired with Verge’s next-generation Donut® 2.0 in-wheel motor, the TS Pro produces 1,000 Nm of torque, accelerates from 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in 3.5 seconds, and offers unmatched stability and control. The result is an electric motorcycle that feels effortless, powerful, and ready for real-world riding.

Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries, Verge’s solid-state battery does not catch fire, operates reliably across extreme temperatures, and is designed to last for the entire lifetime of the motorcycle. Two battery options are available, including a long-range configuration that nearly doubles the riding range — with no compromise in performance or price.

This is not a concept.
This is not a prototype.
This is production.

That hubless rear wheel still confuses me so much.
