Elon Musk never does anything new or original btw. Just copies people youtu.be/CdbE5RiIaSM

"Niki Lauda realised he had to adjust his driving style, mostly for cornering. He found that if he accelerated around corners, the car would "stick" to the road as if it were on rails. This had the side effect of exposing the driver to very high lateral acceleration" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brabham...

That's what the Brabham did, nearly 50 years ago.

Oh cool, I missed the part where they had fans. Interesting to read about the lateral Gs potentially leading to exhausted drivers, which is basically all professional racing now 😂

I didn't know Niki Lauda had driven one. Love how he got his 'drivers excuses' in quickly! :D Much as it's popular to dunk on Musk and I'm sure there'll be a lot of "been there, done that" opinions on the fans, it's good to give old tech a fresh look. The SpaceX kit could have great safety uses.
