Those two things—chassis layout and engine configuration—are the only elements of heritage that carry over from the fabled fourth-generation A80 Supra to this new A90 Supra. The gap between them stretches over enough years to grow an adult driver from scratch, after all. Conceivably, other nuggets of commonality might be found in the specifications, but for now, Toyota is keeping a tight lid on those details. Before cutting us loose on a racetrack and roads used as rally stages north of Madrid, Spain, assistant chief engineer Masayuki Kai gave us one quasi-spec: The new Supra’s wheelbase-to-track ratio would be at least 1.6:1 for optimal handling, but he wouldn’t reveal either dimension. Nearly every other question about metrics was answered with an inequality: "More than" 300 horsepower. A zero-to-60-mph time of "less than" five seconds. A target curb weight of "about" 3300 pounds. You get the picture.

What? What three diseases went away on their own with no vaccines? I’m not very good at guessing games.

That’s not unusual for those types of activities to take place since many of the athletes spend countless hours together anyway.

“I think he just needs to pitch,” Boone said. “We saw enough that suggests he can get back to where he was. He didn’t get great results, obviously, in the game, but we saw a lot in the (simulation) game — how some of his pitches were playing. So he just needs to pitch.

Four underclassmen from the WVC left Giant Center without a medal and now next year will now be in the same situation as many of the senior state qualifiers were over the weekend.

Also, they still use cams. It’s pneumatic valve springs not actuators. This is due primarily to section 5.9.2 of the technical regs which prohibit “variable valve timing and variable valve lift profile systems”. There’s no bonus to be had from going to actuated valves if you can’t vary timing/lift.
