@EvaReports@NS_online Dit is een totale drogredenering. Je rekent niet de last van verzekering, wegenbelasting, afschrijving en onderhoud erbij. Als je dat erbij rekent, is de trein veel goedkoper dan de auto.
Daarbij, als je een abbonnement van 6 euro neemt scheelt het al 40% in de prijs per reis.
🇬🇧 Lotus 102C Isuzu V12 Test
In 1991, Team Lotus secretly tested an experimental V12 Formula One engine developed by Isuzu. This project, which remains a fascinating "what-if" in motorsport history, centered on the Isuzu P799WE engine.
The Engine (P799WE):
A 75-degree, naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V12 designed by a small, four-person team at Isuzu. It was impressively powerful, producing between 640 and 765 bhp depending on the stage of development, which was competitive with the top engines of the era.
The Chassis (Lotus 102C):
To test the engine, Lotus modified its 102B chassis to accommodate the V12, renaming the resulting car the Lotus 102C.
The Test:
The car underwent system checks at the Hethel test track in late July and early August 1991. The primary on-track evaluation took place at Silverstone in early August 1991, with drivers Johnny Herbert and Mika Häkkinen conducting the tests.
Performance:
During the Silverstone test, the car was reportedly around six seconds off the pace of Ayrton Senna’s McLaren-Honda.
Several factors contributed to this: the engine lacked an alternator (requiring heavy onboard batteries), the chassis was not optimized for the new V12, and the car was not running on specialized racing fuel or tires.
Reliability: Despite the gap in lap times, the engine proved remarkably reliable during testing and was considered easy to work with by the Lotus mechanics.
Economic Collapse:
The project coincided with the collapse of the Japanese asset price bubble. This economic instability, combined with Isuzu witnessing the struggles of other Japanese manufacturers (like Yamaha and Subaru) in F1, led them to cancel their entry into the sport.
Isuzu eventually displayed the P799WE engine in a concept vehicle called the Isuzu Como F1, a radical mid-engine pickup truck unveiled at the 1991 Tokyo Motor Show. While the F1 program never materialized, the P799WE remains a symbol of Isuzu's ambitious engineering capabilities during that era. Today, one of the few surviving examples of the engine is kept at the Tamiya headquarters and the Isuzu Plaza museum.

@frankiemuniz Just so you know, no one would have known or even cared at all if you did not post about this. You want privacy on this matter, you had it when you did not post this non-sense statement. Now you made it a public matter which no one cares about. Perhaps you need to rethink it all.
@RReyaard@ErikvHaren Het gaat niet om speeding straffen, het gaat erom dat er een verkeerde reden is gegeven voor de straf. Het ging niet om speeding, maar het korte afsnijden waardoor het leek alsof ze sneller de pits door gingen. Zodoende is de straf in principe nietig.
@notpixielott@BeedeGee@LiekeDevri47667 Je zou maar zo op je teentjes getrapt zijn dat je je tweet al zo begint. Dingen aannemen is totale onzin natuurlijk. We hebben het puur over ticketswap, net als je screenshot. Misschien verdient hij die paar tientjes alleen maar elke keer. Domme reactie van wss een dom persoon.
@notpixielott@BeedeGee@LiekeDevri47667 Je bent er iig niet bekend genoeg mee, je kan maar een klein percentage bovenop de prijs vragen (20% incl servicekosten). Dus je zou max 120% kunnen betalen voor een kaart. Hoofdprijs vragen kan allang niet meer op ticketswap. Ticket resellen via TS is echt niet profitable.
@AndrewDeikel@verstappenews Buying a ticket doesnt guarantee you any of this, if you bought a ticket purely for this, why even go in the first place? Its about racing.
