At least the bathurst track has both left AND right corners.

1kWh = 3.6MJ
1L Gas = 32.0MJ (raw energy) [wikipedia]

1kWh = 0.1125L (burned with no loss)

Assume 20% efficiency of internal combustion engine, 80% drivetrain efficiency [wikipedia]

1kWh = 0.703125L

30kWh = 21.09375L

Of course, this assumes that the energy recovery is 100% efficient (which is highly unlikely) the figures in the article are correct (which is even less likely)

Do americans even know who they are? They did a number of radio challenges on Triple J (Australian national radio station) a few years ago.

these look like renderings to me, look closely

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
