A small collection of scrap flying in loose formation. We're a small race team running a scratch built safari racer.

@Dallocles That “infrastructure designed to “trap heat” is also designed to keep heat (and cold) out . That’s how insulation works….so what your saying makes no sense

Fucks sake i'm sick of UK weather discourse let this be the first and last I speak on it. I've lived in the UK and Utah, which is a very dry heat. The UK is worse, despite being lower. Why? We're an island, it's very humid, it's like trying to breathe through a damp towel. 1/2

@willowsqueak If you get off the train at Rotherham first for half an hour, Sheffield will feel like the promised land when you get there.

Bugatti just lost its all-time speed record. To the Chinese EV in this video. 308 mph at Papenburg, on a battery. The Chiron Super Sport had held the record for six years. 1,600 hp, 8.0L W16, four turbochargers. Bugatti needed every horse of that to hit 304 mph. BYD's Yangwang U9 Xtreme did 308 with four electric motors and a battery pack. Marc Basseng, the driver, won the Nürburgring 24 Hours. He said the run was "technically not possible with a combustion engine." He's right. A combustion engine produces a power curve that peaks at a specific RPM and falls off either side. Past 9,000 RPM the valves float, the connecting rods stretch, the pistons can't reverse direction fast enough. The W16 is the absolute thermodynamic ceiling of 100 years of internal combustion. Every mph past 290 cost exponentially more engineering for diminishing returns. The U9 Xtreme uses four electric motors. Each produces 744 hp. Each spins to 30,000 RPM. No valves. No pistons. No connecting rods. Total system output is 2,978 hp, almost double Bugatti's W16. Power-to-weight is 1,217 hp per tonne. The motors were never the hard part. Mate Rimac said this years ago. The constraint was always the battery, because to deliver 2,978 hp into four wheels you have to discharge faster than any production EV ever has. BYD built the world's first 1,200-volt production car. Everyone else uses 800V. The Blade Battery runs lithium iron phosphate cells with a 30C discharge rate, ten times what a conventional EV battery handles. Heat generation falls 67% versus 800V at matching output. That last number is the whole game. Heat is what kills high-power EV runs. Other automakers derate within seconds at full power because the battery cooks itself. BYD's architecture lets the Xtreme hold maximum discharge long enough to actually approach the aerodynamic limit of the chassis. Bugatti spent 20 years engineering the W16 to its physical ceiling. BYD spent 18 months building the architecture that cleared it. They're making 30 of them. The crown for fastest production car on Earth has belonged to Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Hennessey, SSC. All combustion, all European or American. The crown is Chinese now, and it runs on a battery.

@liam43102 @JabroniTV They're absolutely dire, I'll never complain about the UK rail system again after years of DB. Even when they're not late the trains are noisy, rattly and ride like cattle carts

@JabroniTV DB’s long distance punctuality in the 2025 was 60%, which surprisingly is worse than the UK 😂

@thelastrosbif @PerryALPHA It is exactly how it works. Texture is texture. It means something. The texture of this particular chicken is the exact same sauce or not. There is absolutely no difference.

🚨| New mystery on engines: the FIA prohibits a solution, but since 2027: — The FIA has recently clarified the regulations regarding engine plenums, banning a specific solution for 2027. This decision follows the controversy over Mercedes' alleged increased compression ratio, highlighting the complexity of current engine regulations. — In December, the FIA amended technical regulations, specifying that compression ratio measurements must be taken at room temperature. This change coincided with the Mercedes case, suggesting a strategic move to address potential loopholes in the rules. — The Federation also clarified that plenums, which are air collection volumes before combustion, can be more than two per engine, potentially one for each cylinder. This clarification aims to prevent varied interpretations of the rules. — Additionally, the FIA expanded the list of materials allowed for plenums to include steel, aluminum, and titanium alloys for 2026, but this allowance will be revoked in 2027. This temporary change raises questions about the motivations behind the regulatory adjustments. — The situation mirrors the 2020 Mercedes DAS case, where a legal yet controversial system was banned for future seasons. The current scenario suggests a similar approach, with the FIA recognizing a solution's legality while planning to prohibit it later. — Speculation surrounds the nature of the solution, possibly involving air collection chambers near the cylinder head. This could explain the need for clear plenum classifications and the temporary use of metallic materials. — The complexity of air pressure management is heightened this year due to the ban on variable stroke suction cornets and the removal of the MGU-H, making the issue even more intriguing. The motorsport community awaits further developments to uncover the full story. #mercedesamgf1 🇩🇪 #f12026 VIA: [formulapassion]

Also, Mercedes #F1 are running with closed inner wheel faces. What looks like a spoked OZ wheel is just part of the closed design, flat on the inside, spoked shape on the outside of the forging 🤔. Plus the carbon aero cover. #F1tech 📸 @MercedesAMGF1 @SkySportsF1 Ted's notebook

ℹ️ PU settings, weight, drag, etc play a factor but let's do some maths with the Honda PU: At 10891 rpm the speed was 315KM/H At 11000 rpm the speed was 318KM/H This means: 109 rpm = ~3KM/H Expected speed at 12086 rpm - 346KM/H. Yesterday RedBull hit 344 KM/H at 12086 rpm
