How uninteresting. Has anybody bothered to test for the increased fire risk? And have they bothered to actually test their chocolate technology on an actual Formula 3 engine? All F3 engines have a 26mm air restrictor hanging out the side.

This is a green racing car:

Can I just say how much I enjoy seeing the slick tyres again this year, watching the contact patch roll across the tyre and back as they corner.

Ok, it's weird, but once you spend time working with tyres they send you crazy. :gomer:

GM has obviously hired the intellectual brain trust that turned K-Mart into Big K, resulting in... well, a new sign.

Minimum Fritz said at today's presser than the green logo thing wasn't happening.

Again...oh for f***s sake!


The entrants of this first-ever TTXGP represented a wide cross section of racers, dreamers, students, entrepreneurs and wild-haired geniuses. Most machines were backyard-engineered mongrels — stock Japanese or Italian superbike chassis of various vintages stuffed with lithium batteries, black-box controllers and off-the-shelf electric motors.

Here's another story with some photos of the American bikes from the Bay Area.

I remember when "Hey! Nice bike. Where do the batteries go?" was an insult, not the beginning of a conversation. :p

edit: Here's a video of the bike. Skip ahead to the 2 min mark to hear it. Where's the beef?
