Well, that was a really interesting video anyway!

 

[RdKetchup]

Interesting, but for somebody who spent 1.2 million dollars on a car he seem to know very little about it (completely wrong about the origins has a race car and the off-the-shelf nature of the engine).

what i don't understand is the things he's saying about the wheelbalancing, that you can't do that one a racecar, but have to tune your suspension each time you change tires

how do they do this at le mans? where they use about 10 sets in 24 hours?

 

[Mitchi]

To necro even further:

but have to tune your suspension each time you change tires

I call bs on that ...

I think he was hyperboling scrubbing for wheelbalancing.

Bryan Murphy, a technician who cared for three customer F1s, reports that a nail in one tire cost $6,000 to repair because the McLaren factory insisted on replacing both tires on the same axle. The McLaren factory scrubs every F1 replacement tire that it supplies to owners on a test track.
