    Storyline for next week: Lia Block, daughter of the late Ken Block, is participating the F1 Academy series with Williams as one of their new young drivers. She wrecked in Jeddah this week and came in last, but something to watch for those interested in the future of American Motorsport and women’s sports in general! (Also the only F1 driver is American and races for Williams just like her… FOLLOW THE MONEY is all I’m sayin’)

    In one of the grand tour episodes where the boys went to south east asia (the seamen) episode. In the very first minutes of the episode, Jeremy made a remark about the lack of water in the rivers. He said something like, "there's not enough water to drown a witch." I was dying laughing! Jeremy's selective words makes him humurous and so interesting to listen to

    Clarkson is a good writer and he actually does a lot of reading. His statements need some study to really understand the underlying message. Whatever he is, everybody in my generation dreams to be him but like I always say, there can only be one Jeremy Clarkson. Unfortunately, he is getting older and one can see how passionate he is in farming and many agree that his farming show is better, which again points to the fact that his fans are like him too, getting older. You guys are doing great and we hope you guys can free up some time and do the show around the globe (like your Australia and Japanese coverage). We need a new TopGear, a universal global auto show!

  • @derp_wolf9688
    @derp_wolf9688 Před měsícem

    To be clear, Clarkson was not actually let go because of the punch. The bbc was sick of the controversy and wanted to take more control over top gear, so they used it as excuse to get rid of him. Pretty sure the producer didn't even report or want clarkson to get removed from the show

  • @donschiffer7400
    @donschiffer7400 Před 3 měsíci

    The problem I see is sub 1 second 0-60 will be painful. In a S plaid it’s not exactly a pleasant experience and this is supposed to more than double the acceleration.
    Also, those tiny thrusters only put out 70 pounds of thrust. The rocket cars out there are putting out tens of thousands of pounds of thrust. Even with Nevara horsepower to get under 1 second would take something like 5,000 pounds of additional thrust.

    I now could go on a rant about north americans not being able to distinguish between Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland, also between Switzerland and Sweden, but I won't - i'll try atleast... (and no - we're talking countries, not states. Otherwise i wish you good luck on Swiss cantons - it's easy, only 26 instead of 50).

I know there’s a 99 GSX that can do 0 to 60 in .95 seconds it has been claimed the fastest eclipse in the world as of 2017 when I was there with the whole crew. So unless a car can beat .95 seconds, the eclipse is still the fastest.

  • @kooooons
    @kooooons Před 3 měsíci

    The AMZ Mythen is the fastest accelerating *electric* car ever. It's also from Switzerland, not Germany. And both the McMurtry speirling and the amz Mythen have forced down force, from fans sucking out air under the car.
    A 0-60 time of under 1 seconds using thrusters is only a question of how strong the thrusters are and how heavy the car is.
    Now, some Juicy math: 60 mph is ~28m/s. To reach that in 1s, you need an average acceleration of, well, 28m/s per second or: 28m/s². If we assume they could do it in 2 seconds without thrusters, and if we assume 2t that acceleration is already 14 m/s². The thrusters "only" need to provide the other half. To get 14 m/s² into a mass of 2 t you need a force of 28 kN. Now falcon 9s cold gas thrusters are rumored to have a thrust of 400 N. You'd need 70 of those. To me it seems unlikely to use the thrust of these for acceleration. You cound use them for down force, either pointing them up or to create airflow under the car to create a low pressure zone. That last one could be the most efficient, however i don't know if that's even possible and how but lowering the pressure underneath the car by 1% creates several hundred kilos of downforce.

      You don't get rocket propulsion by farting gas straight out into space. You get propulsion by farting gas against a nozzle cone, the cone gets pushed in one direction and it pushes whatever is in front of it.
      If that concept escapes you, I would've loved to say it ain't rocket science-- except it _is_ rocket science.
