The Incredible, Tragic Life of Toyota's Most Important Test Driver

“The way Naruse drives was completely different,” Katsumata said. “You can see he’s talking with the four tires; he’s having a dialogue. He would truly understand the characteristics of the tires.”

Had an insightful meeting with the boss and HR today. I was told I shouldn't tell coworkers to go **** themselves. Well one coworker in particular.

I agreed, of course, but I felt the situation called for it at the time. When I explained what happened, the HR person said that they would have done the same, and my boss said, "well [that person] IS too sensitive, but we still can't have you telling people to go **** themselves. It really creates a hostile work environment."

I don't think so. They usually make you sign off on that type of stuff.

i wish they'd do something about that hoop in between the drivers so he's not just looking at a piece of wall 2 inches from your face. why can't the hoop be hollow? besides that I think it looks pretty good and probably sounds better than current F1 cars.

Liberty Media wants to bring the 2 seater back, but not use the 20 year old cars.

I've posted this before a while ago but will post again. I thought the 2.65L turbo methanol V8s used in CART/Champ Car sounded awesome. Then I saw and heard the Minardi x2.

trying to keep neck straight as driver turns in. they already lost the battle of holding their head up under braking, but still trying to keep it attached to the body as best they can.
