Exactly. Especially with motogp, if the teams are going to pay someone to stand there holding an umbrella then they might as well pay someone who's easy on the eye.
You can go on about how tacky it is, etc, but the teams are also in the marketing business and having promo girls would generate more merchandise sales than some sweaty fat bloke with a beard.
Aren't a lot of the MotoGP "Grid Girls" wives or significant others of the riders in a lot of cases?

Looks like they have blown front hubs on the car again, Newey keeps on putting them on the car, so they must give enough of a gain to offset the potential loss in the pits during wheel changes.

Is there a Mexican restaurant nearby?

That may be what the sticker on the outside of the can said...

I'm an idiot as well then, always left foot brake in my cars, even the manual gearboxed cars. It have it to a point that using my right foot feels unnatural.

If you buy and ECU or Dash, I'll make sure that you get a beanie and a cap!

I do apologise again for having to leave fairly promptly, as it was , I just made my flight by about 5 minutes!
If anyone wants to discuss any of the MoTeC products further, I am more than happy to do so on here, either through continuing this discussion or via PM's, the only area that I will not go into is pricing, as that is a discussion that needs to be done directly through one of our dealers.

Out of a coma doesn't mean that he is conscious, it just typically means that he is breathing for himself and responsive to external stimuli such as touch, whether there is higher brain function has not been revealed, as far as I have seen.

The problem was that you thought that you where at Winton, not Sandown...

The last WRX round earlier this year was a 95dB day.

International and National events from the 1st of July, for track, tarmac and off road events, and then from 1st January 2015 this also applies to all state level events, but not club level at this stage.

Lol. I meant to do it ages ago but never got around to it. But since he is part of the commentary team for channel 10 for the gp it seemed appropriate
I reckon that I saw him today riding around the track, if it wasn't him, then it was someone who looked a hell of a lot like him.

Williams wont retain the blue bodywork though, as it is a colour that doesn't work on TV and it will just blend in and disappear into the background.

It compares well with my other comp tester (I got this one as the tester that I had didn't have a small thread adapter) that I tested against a calibrated gauge when I worked for the national Measurement Institute.

The cooling system pressure test kit and a compression test kit.

I've bought some tools from this group, they have always delivered on time and the tools have been as described and good quality.

I have a Kincrome cordless rattle gun, it does the single wheel nuts on the Speads with no issues, and I use it every day in the workshop. https://www.kincrome.com.au/product/K13070/cordless-impact-wrench-19~2-volt-1~2~-drive I definitely didn't pay the retail price for it though!

F1 or V8's? I haven't heard anything about the F1 going to Foxtel.

Belkin makes a 2.1A dual USB lighter adapter as well. http://www.belkin.com/au/F8J071-Belkin/p/P-F8J071/

Check the filler necks, quite often the top lip where the rubber seal sits isn't flat or true to the threads, I have found that giving them a quick going over with a sharp blade and taking away the high point and burrs makes a big difference to leaks and fumes.

They sure can.

Roland Ratzenburger, Senna was pretty torn up by his death, going by reports at the time, and some questioned if Senna should have been in the car at all.

I like how one of the advertising billboards over the track is for Oscar Meyer Wieners, one of the smaller teams should have made a pitch to them for sponsorship of the proboscis.

There doesn't seem to be any Pirelli branding on the tyres that the cars are using on track, I wonder if the teams wanted that so that other teams didn't know what tyres they were running and therefore being harder to compare like for like, or if Pirelli didn't want their name to be visible if there was a failure.

The difference being that most race series that use tyres like that, use them for a session, and then either bin them, or they use them for practice/setup work, where the ultimate pace is not available out of the tyres.
