Tech Talk - The Entertainment Branch of Physics

When is a motorbike like an airplane? When Mat and Peter are discussing aero, of course! This week we dive into the field of applied physics that is changing the face of racing as we know it. It's a story of bizarre unintended effects, beginning with some simple tweaks and ending with riders whu use their own limbs as airbrakes and 'dirty air' as a defense. Or, as Peter puts it omniously: "The engineers went looking in corners where they weren't supposed to be looking - and they found something there." With big thanks as always to Brad Baloo from The Next Men and Gentleman's Dub Club, who wrote our theme song.
