    Man VS Toaster.

    When I was time-trialing many years ago, I had quite big legs and, could pull a decent sprint but, not like Robert Förstemann!

    Had a look for other Robert Förstemann videos, track sprinters are not like 'normal' racing cyclists...

    The California Science Center in LA has finished re-stacking Space Shuttle Endeavour, opening to the public in November.
    (When I was last there in Oct 2023, the "new, old stock" boosters had literally just arrived the day before my visit)

    Gabe Newel, 2009: "Piracy is a skill issue"



    Robin Shute's 'Sendycar' belting around the Pike's Peak hillclimb - the turbo flutter coming from this engine is insane:



    Off-grid "workshop" (garage) power from actual rubbish:

    No shortage of skill there but, you can see and hear the effects of altitude with reduced acceleration and downforce toward the end.

    Yeah, I saw that, bloody terrifying accident…

    That wasn’t this year’s Sendycar though, that was a previous Pike’s Peak build.
