I think it say that they rock....sorry.
I dont have a problem with them either. Anything turning over at 17,000 is going to make a noise a bit like that. I like the sound that F1s make at idle better than at 17,000rpm though.
 
From Saturday's NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle qualifying session held in Norwalk Ohio.

Angie Smith dumps her bike at 188 mph due to loss of brakes.

and she walked away ........ 👍

I don't think she was actually going 188mph when she dumped it. It had still slowed down quite a bit. I would guess no more than 100mph.

Here is the first episode.

Notice the.

Thief on the left at 1:10
JB not complaining about the car for once.

Que the "Hamilton's Fault" jokes.
 
This is racing, pure. A last lap battle between the Manthey Porsche and ROWE AMG SLS in VLN. The lap that will decide the result of a 4-hour endurance race around the world's most difficult and dangerous permanent race circuit.

Both drivers push hard, but only one will win. By just 0.3 seconds...

You're onboard with the ROWE Racing AMG SLS GT3 car, with Alexander Roloff driving. Behind is Marc Lieb in the Manthey-prepped Moskovskaya Porsche GT3R. We've all seen last-lap battles, but a last-lap battle over 23kms of Nürburgring, through traffic? Prepare yourself...

From Bridge to Gantry..

Onboard with the Porsche chasing the SLS


And if you stop that one at around 9 minutes, if I have seen correctly, you can watch the next lap onboard the SLS (because the other video stops after 1,3lap)
 
@Karl53 yeah the videos an older one....only Waiman jnr was a visitor back then there's not as much hard hitting as there used to be despite all the safety improvements.....mainly due to the cost. A secondhand superstock is about 60k

60k, bit steep compared to over here, I shall have to make the trip to the 240s and the Teams championship at some point.
 
I'm willing to bet the driver of this Z-06 said "WTF" along with some other choice words after he did this .....



The car starts to pull left, he over corrects it (newbie driver ?) ...... Bam !!!!
Good thing he did not hit that 4 wheeler, or else ! :lol:
 
^Thats why we have a chequered flag still :lol: to point to it for silly people like him!

If that's the same race I'm thinking of, his team boss/manager held up one finger on the previous lap to say "You're number 1" which the rider took to be one lap to go. :ouch:

It might be a different race I'm thinking of though.

As a side issue, that was truly bad commentary. :yuck:
 
Huh?
It's cool though how they stop their laps within a second of each other.




I'm pretty surprised that both of them were saying how weird that is. Lots of karting drivers do visualization when away from the track, it helps you mentally prepared so much, it helps you get into the flow when actually driving as your mind isn't having to actively look for braking/turning points so much.

They probably did in their "younger" years but they've probably been spoilt by simulators and the like now.
 
Not really amazing, just quite cool. Sort of OMG at 8.30 onwards, you can see how close they are to the crowds. I nearly got hit by Vettel when I was there.
 
Just yesterday at Watkins Glen BMW takes out the only Nissan in the race that was on its way to a possable podium 🤬
At 17:10


He spins and desides to drive to the inside of the track not seeing the 370 on its way and Skeen has nowhere to go.
