It seems like it'll be a Hummer-badged electric version of a standard GMC pickup truck, so it's almost certain that it'll be body-on-frame. I'm actually excited to see what the final design will look like.
The humble executive basking in the precense of his magnum opus. Spoiler: For the uncultured who do not get the reference Better Call Saul Hummer guy
You know legally speaking it isn't a race track anyway. It wasn't strictly them that banned timing. Legal status of the nurburgring is that it is a one way autobahn with a toll. Therefore normal traffic law actually applies. This means no attacking on people's insides, no drifting and no timing. You can time on the proper closed track sessions. --- Post updated --- Locking, no torsen, torsens act open when in mixed loading scenarios
E12 holds its value, apparently. Cool Also, everybody bought Hummers with diesels for torque. Why do you care? Electric motors out-diesel diesels.
Well there's always teeeeeeeeeeeechnically a reason... a reason that real drivers can't have nice things. How many times a year? How expensive to get in?
Breaking news Shotgun Chuck gatekeeps car culture for the 745th time. In other news, I'm sanding the paint off of my Subaru to re-paint it, as the clearcoat is practically gone and the paint itself is not much better.
Oh right, I forgot. Going to the Nurburgring and dawdling around it, once, at 30 MPH in a motorhome just so you could say you were there makes you a part of car culture.
So if I enjoy a car just for its comfort and ride, and I go to car shows focused around this, I'm not a part of car culture? Though to answer your question, last year they averaged like one proper track day a month give or take, I've not checked this year's calendar. You do have to pre-book for those sessions. It is mixed on the vehicle requirements as some of those your car still needs to be Street legal, some will allow racing slicks etc. The daily turn up and drive. It's literally called "tourist rides"
I think he's trying to differentiate enthusiasts from ordinary car culture or something. Race enthusiasts would rather the track be entirely clean or only same class cars allowed, if I'm not mistaken.
I don't think he's trying to differentiate, given his attitude towards anything that isn't a fantasy track weapon.
You're not a car enthusiast until you own a Chevy Volt and drive at 20mph on a curvy mountain pass. Then unload your bicycle from the roof rack and ride back down it.
This would be funny were it not for the shockingly high (though, I am convinced, severely overrepresented on the internet) number of "car enthusiasts" who actually do things like this.
that's a lie, you're not a car enthusiast until you can tell me the exact horsepower rating of a volkswagen beetle just by the exhaust note.
Christ, can you not gatekeep driving? You know what I like in a car? Not the things that make it fast - the things that make it durable. My favourite driving activities are taking an old banger with a cage in it to an oval track and seeing what carnage I can cause, taking something completely not suited to offroading over difficult terrain, or taking a car on ridiculous, week long road trips. I'm not interested in seeing how efficiently I can lap the same piece of tarmac over and over again.Does that make me not part of car culture? not an enthusiast?
