lando.jpg - daniel3.jpg - Please help! :)

Hello, I urgently need your help for a term paper! Which racing drivers have .jpg accounts like those of Lando Norris or Daniel Ricciardo? Are there others that are set to private? Charles? Max? Anyone else?

swarm intelligence needed, thank you! <3

1962 Ferrari 330 LM / 250 GTO by Scaglietti

With just 36 in existence, the 250 GTO is a coveted motorcar. However, this example is even more special, thanks to its 4.0-liter engine.

It's the only example initially fitted with the larger displacement motor, unlike the 3.0-liter found in the other cars. However, the original engine made way for a 3.0-liter Colombo V12, which remains under the hood today.

This car placed second overall in the 1962 Nurburgring 1000km race, and competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the same year, surviving 56 laps before a crash ended the car's race.

Rockets, Racecars, and the Physics of Going Fast

When our Space Launch System (SLS) rocket launches the Artemis missions to the Moon, it can have a top speed of more than six miles per second. Rockets and racecars are designed with speed in mind to accomplish their missions—but there’s more to speed than just engines and fuel. Learn more about the physics of going fast:

Take a look under the hood, so to speak, of our SLS mega Moon rocket and you’ll find that each of its four RS-25 engines have high-pressure turbopumps that generate a combined 94,400 horsepower per engine. All that horsepower creates more than 2 million pounds of thrust to help launch our four Artemis astronauts inside the Orion spacecraft beyond Earth orbit and onward to the Moon. How does that horsepower compare to a racecar? World champion racecars can generate more than 1,000 horsepower as they speed around the track.

As these vehicles start their engines, a series of special machinery is moving and grooving inside those engines. Turbo engines in racecars work at up to 15,000 rotations per minute, aka rpm. The turbopumps on the RS-25 engines rotate at a staggering 37,000 rpm. SLS’s RS-25 engines will burn for approximately eight minutes, while racecar engines generally run for 1 ½-3 hours during a race.

To use that power effectively, both rockets and racecars are designed to slice through the air as efficiently as possible.

While rockets want to eliminate as much drag as possible, racecars carefully use the air they’re slicing through to keep them pinned to the track and speed around corners faster. This phenomenon is called downforce.

Steering these mighty machines is a delicate process that involves complex mechanics.

Most racecars use a rack-and-pinion system to convert the turn of a steering wheel to precisely point the front tires in the right direction. While SLS doesn’t have a steering wheel, its powerful engines and solid rocket boosters do have nozzles that gimbal, or move, to better direct the force of the thrust during launch and flight.

Racecar drivers and astronauts are laser focused, keeping their sights set on the destination. Pit crews and launch control teams both analyze data from numerous sensors and computers to guide them to the finish line. In the case of our mighty SLS rocket, its 212-foot-tall core stage has nearly 1,000 sensors to help fly, track, and guide the rocket on the right trajectory and at the right speed. That same data is relayed to launch teams on the ground in real time. Like SLS, world-champion racecars use hundreds of sensors to help drivers and teams manage the race and perform at peak levels.

Knowing how to best use, manage, and battle the physics of going fast, is critical in that final lap. You can learn more about rockets and racecars here.

My father was Lightning McQueen (he looked human, but my paperwork and everything said the racecar was my dad), and Lightning was rumored to have killed someone. It was an unfounded rumor, not even a court case for him to have been charged with anything, but TMZ refused to let it go. On a race for charity, my dad won, but he ended up crashing and being on death's bed because of how bad it was. My existence was hidden, but when I shrieked, "Dad," and ran towards him, some man who had been celebrating grabbed me and strangled me. He gleefully said that McQueen would pay for the death that he was suspected of doing by having a dead child before he dies, but someone helped get him off of me before I could die.
