Unlike what happened in Egypt, the armed forces in Bahrain most definitely are on the side of the government. Nothing like a vulgar display of power to put a people in their place (which is what the Arabic psyche understands best).

could prompt a move back to interesting tracks in non-shitholes. one holds out hope all the industrial fires burning in Korea really added to the ambèance

no- you cannot run a V35 on E85 without reprogramming the fuel and ignition the only cars in Aus that can take it in OE spec are the recently updated Flex Fuel Commodores (and possibly some new Bentleys, but don't quote me)

nice design. very tasty

that's why you need ones that are hella aggro

All 6 of my Bob's are now at Level 40. Next stop is to get the X1 over 100,000km. Quite close now, that thing has been so very heavily beat on. Still waitng for the long-tail F1 GTR to show up in the UCD I've seen the Silk Cut le mans Jag twice now I hope i'm not missing something here, like your A-spec level needing to be 30+ or sumsing (doubt it though)

What you'd be best to do (if you can) is wait until winter rolls around to tune the car for E85. Try and get the tuning done on the coldest day possible (when the cylinder charge density and inj duty cycle will be highest), and then do the on-road tune finish in, again, the most arctic temp you can get (most likely at night). As most would know, the winter 'E85' blend from Caltex contains the least ethanol. I emailed them a while back to ask what minimum RON rating they specify for E-Flex, and the fuel science guy said it's 105 winter and 106 on summer blend. Done this way, you should be able to ensure the tune is peachy year 'round.

They should just fast-track him Boy's def got skillz

made the same mistake as I did- you get one of those from a gift car ticket I'd have over 16m CR if I hadn't bought that

speaking of which- I miss the old standing 400 and 1000m test function; was great to mod the car and see it improve

you guyz wanna pass a hat 'round for me?

Not rally though

nope needs to be a 'stage 4' turbo and engine kit via dlc

And my being there the other 9 months of the year is real tough, I gotta tell ya

You gotta wonder why mgmt even let's them do stuff like that in the off season. McLaren prolly keep Lewis in cryostasis, Han Solo-style, in between media/training gigs during the northern winter.

Co-driver was unhurt apparently

Looking for a sugar daddy more likely

Yikes

screen shots (literally)

Check out the 3D model of the MP4-26 on the McLaren racing site; Serious looking exhaust blown wing setup. Looks to be supplemented by some scoopage near the airbox inlet. Now let's see the relative PACE!

no big deal while the wheels are turning

Looks little different from those shots. Some tweaking of the front wing design.

Don't know. This thread is the only place I'm bothering to get F1 info at the mo'

Come on McLaren, make with the '26

yes, that kinda gets my goat too it's un-necessarily different
