The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

@ciao8: Yes, you catched it perfectly! It´s when 2 cars work together, with the one in the slipstream pushing the one in front ever so softly so that that one and the one in the slipstream both go faster.

This btw was sent to me by my Kiwi friend, who is a legend there:
Just to round out your education ... there is also a practice called SIDE DRAFTING. it was discovered in Australian V8 Supercars and is now used in NASCARS.

@Blackswanny: The original Mini Cooper´s raced together with us, in their own class of course (as did the clearly faster Citroen C1´s). The Mini´s were faster on the straights, but only marginally so in the corners (with the slowest of them even slowing me down in the corners after passing me on the straights).
