so i've realised i've gotta a ton load of drafts that need to published, so im just gonna do one big mega post to summarize them
24 Hours of Nurburgring [this was to be apart of my epic race weekend series i started a year ago]
Now the name alone shows how hard this race is: 24hrs of racing is long even if your rotating 4 drivers. I find that endurance races such as this test the driver's abality to maintain focus long enough to drive that long that fast and also the cars ability to withstand 24hrs straight of racing. The second part of the name is another sign of difficulty......the nurburgring is difficult cus:
- its long [ 7-5 times longer than most tracks] @ 14 miles.
- its bumpy [as in real world bumpy not some super perfect smooth track
- it has every single corner you can imagine [banked corners, pavement changes, long straight, sweeping right handers into tight lefts, bridges, jumps, corkscrew like corners etc etc]
- its dangerous [3-12 deaths per year, mainly by noobs visiting the track]
[the track is so big it cant fit on this page]
Braeks [supposed to be a part of my lecture series on cars]
I've long considered brakes one of the most important components of a car.........in fact the name crossdrilled is derived from a type of brake rotor
but to simplify this brakes are any form of mechanism that decelerates the car usually by friction
on vehicles there are only two main types of brakes; drums and disks
they both have a pad which push against a rotating surface attached to the wheel. this pushing causes friction which slows down the wheel. drums have the rotating part on the outside and the pushing part on the inside where as disks have the pushing part resting on the rotating part

some ppl might remember the face blistering speed achieved by this car on top gear but not a lot of ppl knows its deepest secret...........its 30mpg consumption!!! thats like a caterham with moar miles per gallon......jus a tad more expensive tho

We are still waiting for the guys in ingolstad to build this. Take the engine out of a Le Mans car [the first and only diesel winner] and tune it for the road and u have instant diesel supercar. Some may say that this is stupid because of its excess weight........but its still lighter than a lot of other gasoline sports cars.........audis only excuse not to build this is to find a transmission that wont break.............i'll be wiatin
