Saw this on YouTube and thought it was pretty interesting; a comparison of pit stops across a few motorsports:



Scully: Victim died of multiple stab wounds.
Mulder: *throws her a file* Ever heard of the knife alien?

They're all very cool. I still find the NASCAR stops the most fascinating though with 5 lug nuts.

Anyone else find the Formuala E stop kind of funny?

Formula E is all electric vehicles and don't think anyone wants to risk shocks in rapidly changing th batteries.

Formula E sounds like they're racing RC cars!!

And those that only allow 2 crew... I thought they only had 2 crew working on the car... but then I find out they have more than 2 crew members, it's just that only 2 can work on the car at any one time. Minor detail but it sure saves a few milliseconds!

Pretty cool video.

Didn't know about the Formula E.

Was going to ask 'why the car swap?'.

I had heard about an electric racing series but didn't hear that it had actually happened.

The races can be seen on Fox Sports.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Looks like another amateur league for washed up ex-F1 drivers.

Richard Branson is saying Formula E will be more popular than F1 within the next few years. Yet another billionaire with his billion dollar opinion, about as relevant as Donald 'Bad HAir' Trump running for the Presidency.

I know what Formula E is, and I think it's more about not being feasible moving batteries. Either way, it's still funny.
