That may be a bit strong, but they certainly know how to market stuff in a way that is able to confuse us into swallowing it without taking into account anything so dull as scientific facts. Nevertheless, the terms leading and trailing as they apply to brake linings only - technically - relate to the way in which shoes contact the inside of a drum. To use these terms in connection with devices that operate as calipers do is akin to the currently popular abuse of the terms "digital", "turbo" and "miracle cure!" Which are seen on many things that are essentially none of these. I have a razor with the T-word emblazoned all over it but strangely enough, it doesn't have an exhaust gas-driven means of increasing the amount of air it ingests with each gulp of fuel.

What's going on? I have been outside welding.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

That's how I heard it but let's have a look at the footage from the telly. Ouch! I hope they had plenty of blue label Absolut ready in his camper.zipgun wrote:Did i hear right ? A 47g hit?
Actually, f'k that old news. Lewis is only the third driver ever to win twice at Silverstone, that's pretty cool methinks.

Oh, F1. Is it actually worth watching these days? It has been so boring for the last few years, I haven't bothered.

Well this one was anything but dull. Some REAL racing - wheel to wheel stuff and some audacious overtaking manoeuvres.
