  • You can totally go 250km/h on the A5 from Frankfurt to Darmstadt, if traffic allows it. That wont always be possible, but typically if it isnt during work traffic, 160-200km/h is doable comfortably, even on other parts of the Autobahn

    The longest unrestricted part that ive driven should be the A71, where you can go longer passages without restrictions, save for the tunnels.



  • Sometimes youll need stuff like this. Rail maintenance cant always be done using overhead lines, since the machines will get destroyed by electric breakdown(?).

    Some parts are not electrified yet, some cant be without major work being done to the track.

    It is not ideal, but sometimes you cant do it otherwise, or you’d have to cut of some parts, imo its a useful way to bridge gaps.



  • Youll often see cars run wide if they pick up dirt or dust with slick tires. Youll also often see rubber pebbles lying next to the racing line as seen here. Twitter link. After a race drivers are told to pick up rubber to make the car a tiny bit heavier to avoid being umderweight, which will lead to the tires looking completly gone.

    If you want to see what happens with wet tires on a drying track look at “Slicktermediates” wich kinda look like the ones in the OP.












  • Imo the discord works quite well. For mods the github repo us great and for most questions a diacord is enough. I like the fact that i can quickly share stuff and get answers. Forums always felt very clunky to me. I can use them, but the culture us often a bit shit, and then there are those that need registration to view posts or pictures. While those problems also apply to discord, i dont need a ton of accounts, i can somply join a server.
