How to Cheat at Motorsports

Racing is a real dirty sport, so it surprises me a group with such minds haven’t gotten into this, and we don’t hear more about it.

Got the idea at Indy 2012.

Why not attack the other team’s
networks, internet & communications?

Examples:

The WiFi connection went down? And you were relying on the cloud?

The telematics, feedback and monitoring systems stopped functioning? Or instead, started to output false data?

An F1 engineer in the pits can remotely control the car, so how about altering those settings? Make the engine blow, you only get so many engines per race…

You in position? Preparing to cut crew-driver communications, you’ll have 5 seconds to pass until the system is live again in 3, 2…

This isn’t a barely-subtle way of saying I’m for hire, these are not rate card items, don’t ask me that at races.

This photo has nothing to do with anything, just needed one more to round out this post.

Best engine note ever.

 

 

Really Want to Learn How to Drift

Drifting is totally superfluous and completely inefficient, but who cares, because look.

Awesomely over-dramatic.

Tires screaming, covering everyone in smoke as I pass, I love that going sideways is the point.

I’ve accidentally drifted plenty, because ice or other circumstances… one time I drifted my favourite on-ramp in Toronto, which is how I figured out my tires were bald. But to do this with finesse and precision ahhh, I’m into it.

Most Extreme Helluflush I’ve Ever Seen

Wow eh.

Hellaflush or stanced – to lower a car’s suspension and add oversized tires, making it so the body work almost rubs the tires, and the road.

It’s been banned in Quebec.

Well not really banned, because how could they, instead it’s now impossible to get insurance for a car modified like this.

Wrote the news about it for the paper, here.
