"Song 2" got its name because it was literally the second song Blur recorded for the album Blur (1997). Damon Albarn improvised the "WOO-HOO!" during a take, as a joke to mock the heavy and aggressive sound of American grunge.

The label wanted to release something more "commercial" as a single, but the band insisted on releasing this short, noisy and chaotic track, and eventually became the biggest international hit of Blur's career.

Bassist Tim Commerford confessed that at first he thought "Like a Stone" was a romantic song and only understood the real meaning when Cornell explained it! It was the second single from Audioslave's debut album and became the band's biggest hit: #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts, #31 on the Hot 100 and is, to date, the most streamed track of Chris Cornell's entire career (over 1 billion plays on Spotify).

Le Groupe B, c’était n’importe quoi.

Mais alors du n’importe quoi magnifique 🔥

Imagine des mecs qui prennent des routes de montagne larges comme un couloir, avec des spectateurs collés au bord, et qui arrivent là dedans avec des caisses de plus de 500 chevaux.

Audi Quattro.

Peugeot 205 T16.

Lancia Delta S4.

Ford RS200.

Des noms qui sentent l’essence, la boue, le turbo qui siffle et le freinage beaucoup trop tardif.

Et au volant, pas des pilotes tranquilles venus faire une balade.

Walter Röhrl.

Ari Vatanen.

Stig Blomqvist.

Markku Alén.

Henri Toivonen.

Des gars qui avaient un mélange assez rare de talent pur, de folie douce et de courage complètement déraisonnable.

Le Groupe B, ce n’était pas juste aller vite.

C’était tenir une bête enragée entre deux fossés, avec le public qui s’ouvrait devant toi au dernier moment.

C’était beau.
C’était dangereux.
C’était probablement trop.

Mais putain, quelle époque.

Même aujourd’hui, tu regardes une vidéo de ces monstres et tu comprends en dix secondes pourquoi les anciens en parlent encore avec des étoiles dans les yeux.

Le Groupe B n’a pas duré longtemps.

Mais il a laissé une trace que le rallye n’effacera jamais.

One of the most extreme piston engines ever built is the Pratt & Whitney R4360 Wasp Major.

A 28 cylinder, four row radial engine producing 3,000 Hp in early variants and over 4,000+ Hp in later iterations from 71 liters of displacement.

R-4360 Wasp burnt 25.5-26.5 liters per minute per engine at takeoff

It was developed during World War II for long range heavy bombers, but by the time it reached full operational maturity, the war had already ended.

Instead of CAD or computational simulation, it was designed entirely using slide rules, hand drafted blueprints, and physical prototyping, where every thermal and structural constraint was solved experimentally.

This Engine costed $35,000 - $50,000 per engine back in 1944-45 USD.

This engine marks the final peak of piston propulsion, built at the edge of manufacturable complexity before the jet age made it obsolete.

Ayrton Senna en el Gran Premio de Mónaco 1990…

A diferencia de las levas actuales detrás del volante, el McLaren MP4/5B de Senna tenía una caja manual de 6 velocidades en forma de H.

Para cambiar de marcha unas 3,600 veces por carrera, Senna debía soltar constantemente el volante con la mano derecha.

Controlaba un indomable motor V10 a más de 250 km/h por calles estrechas con una sola mano.

El auto no contaba con dirección asistida ni suspensión activa. Toda la tracción y corrección en los saltos de Montecarlo dependían puramente de su sensibilidad y fuerza muscular.
