@V8Sleuth@aaronnoonan you just got a shout out on the Goodwood SpeedWeek stream for the history of the Bundy VE Supercar that is running there in HRT colors this weekend.
@RobbGravett For those tracks where you can still get close to the action - street circuits, old school tracks - sounds creates an indelible impression. I still recall standing by the track in Adelaide for the F1 and feeling the V12s out when they went past.
@RobbGravett Most modern tracks you are so far away from the action you almost need a telescope to see so sound is the medium to convey the speed and energy... /3
@RobbGravett I think it will have a limited effect on races on TV. As it is, TV is generally a poor medium for conveying the sound and speed of racing. But I think it will have a huge effect on live motorsport. ../e
@petrolhedonist@CamsCorner On the contrary, I think only if you did offend would you get an invite to Wakefield on a hot smokey day with a lot of flies to watch Cam bed brakes!
@RobbGravett And while I am all for driving defensively, there are limits to what you can do on a busy motorway to keep out of harms way, particularly from the scourge of modern driving - drivers distracted by mobile devices who behave anything other than predictably.
@RobbGravett And all the maintenance in the world won't stop you from a puncture from a nail or other object you can't see on the motorway. Until every car has run flats, people will still get flat tyres on a motorway..../4
@RobbGravett Breakdowns will still occur. In this brave new world of electrification and semi-autonomous driving and beta-testing software on the pubic I would be bold enough to suggest breakdowns might actually increase .../3
@RobbGravett "Look after your car" and you will avoid breakdowns? Seriously? Some, yes, in older vehicles. But even in new cars defects still slip through the quality control net that "maintenance" (ie being plugged into the OBD computer by the dealer) won't detect. .../2
