VIDEO Split-Screen: Nissan GT-R vs. Corvette ZR1 on the Nurburgring It's standard to stop timing at the final corner and not include the final straight for safety reasons.

VIDEO: Porsche Engine Test Rig Simulates N?rburgring Nordschleife True that you can only test up to 1g in any particular direction, but it is the dynamic sloshing motion of the oil which is more of interest to the engineers. A rolling rig can never really simulate the g-forces even if they were below 1g since the rig can only simulate 1g in one direction at a time. In real life you will have 1g towards the ground most of the time, even if you are cornering or braking hard. One of the big problems for the oil systems is the oil pickup under high vertical g-forces such as those experienced at the bottom or of a hill. I don't think this rig can simulate that.

Volvo ReCharge Will Base Research Plug-In Hybrids You guys are forgetting that the transmission of a normal car multiplies the torque of the engine depending on what gear you are in. Multiply the engine torque by gear ratio and the final drive ratio together to get the torque available at the drive wheels.
