TimTaylor751647545500 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 From Christina Macfarlane and Rachel Wood "While a standard engine is powered by a belt connected to the crankshaft, a turbo engine runs on its own exhaust steam, making it more energy efficient." http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18wt7hpgcniowjpg/ku-xlarge.jpg How much can CNN get wrong about F1 engines? CNN's original article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 "Indeed, throughout the 1980s, the powerful turbo was the F1 engine of choice, able to perform at high altitudes and grip onto steep angles." Turbo engine make you grip onto steep angles?! Lol wth CNN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furloaf Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Change standard to supercharged and it is almost somewhat right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaSSon Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Editor's note: An earlier version of this article contained a number of inaccuracies, for which we apologise. Christina Macfarlane and Rachel Wood, who prepared the television story, were in no way responsible for those inaccuracies. You can watch their report at the top of this article. Lol, article has been updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
