Yes and yes

It's definitely expensive, and sponsor aquisition is always a success factor as in every racing league.

This is actually fairly common in Formula Student cars. They often use decoupled heave/roll suspension systems, where one spring/damper is for the heave of the entire axle and another one for the roll on the axle. It has some advantages over separate springs, but I'd have to ask our suspension guys.

The graphics in this article show its function fairly well, but don't explain the calculations either

Recently, some teams have added the hydraulic relocation of dampers, and some (like Dresden) even have software control of them.

The racing formula this is from, Formula Student, actually has a driverless competition as part of it. It's pretty fun, but also harder than one would think, still.

AMZ's cars are also capable of autonomous driving (they were actually one of the top teams in the autonomous categories for the last couple of years).

I assume it's just a requirement for this Guiness record category, or they didn't want to bother with all the software.

These cars stem from the Formula Student, which since 2022 has re-allowed the previously forbidden "powered ground effect".

But this car has an upgraded battery and powertrain beyond what the rules allow and they maybe also use tire warmers and potentially rubber/glue on the launch surface/tires

It was disallowed for many years but is re-allowed since the 2022 season

I absolutely binged the Tally Ho restauration project by Sampson Boat Co., masterful and highly educational.

Also Project Binky by Bad Obsession Motorsport shows fascinating fabrication skills even for people not interested in Motorsport like me

Probably not what you're looking for, but I have a 5€/mo VPS that hosts:

- 2 Minecraft servers

- 2 instances of FoundryVTT for playing D&D with friends

- A Trackmania Nations Forever Server

- 3 License servers for a student project

- A few web experiments

- An XMPP server

On various physical boxes I host a few Instances of Nextcloud and Gitea or Fileservers for some projects.

There's also wezterm, which is also GPU accelerated, supports ligatures and is written in rust, so it's probably faster than kitty/darktile as well
