The only external link is dead; the article itself looks like more a dictionary definition. Mark Ekimov (talk) 12:21, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. When you encounter a dead reference or external link, you can often find an archived version of the page at the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, http://web.archive.org/ That's what I did just now, and I also added some other references. Another option would be to merge it into Glossary of motorsport terms. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 13:31, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - On the one hand Wikipedia is not a dictionary and in it's current form that is all this is. On the other hand, this subject is essentially two concepts in one - mechanical grip and aerodynamic grip. These two terms, at first glance, do seem to be suitable for an encylopic entry, and putting them together in one article, or two articles where Grip (auto racing) is a disambigation could both be potential ideas.SSSB (talk) 09:13, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Glossary of motorsport terms. The entire text of the article is already there word for word. There is no reason to have a stand alone article that is an exact duplicate of the content located on another page per WP:Content fork. Additionally, Wikipedia is not a dictionary is a convincing argument.4meter4 (talk) 14:48, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
