  1. It will be interesting until the Fezz and McKlarens arrive i Schueys bumper. Maybe a tussle will re-kindle his race pace
  2. Speaking of torrential down pours and Singapore, i was just woken up way early and a massive storm and rain is BLOWING through here at the moment. Its noisy as hell as stuff gets blown off the roof of my condo and the rain is hammering down
  3. They made RBR look like space cadets today. Never fear, they will get their act together tomorrow just in time to bag more points then RBR and watch Nico get his first win. Remember he was doing well last year at Malaysia before the weather card was played
  4. Dont they lap EC at around 1:30. So with big enough semis and less weight, over a single lap the XR6 (turbo Supercar) should be in the hunt
  5. The real queston is, how many laps do they have to bag in order to be classified a full points result. Last year Webber was on for perhaps his first GP win or at least a podium when it was called to a halt. I hope when/if the weather comes tomorrow it doesnt rob Webs of a good points haul. If its a wet race they can start on whatever tyre they want, ditto a dry race
  6. I dont think yo uhave to start on the same tyres
  7. EAT MY SHIT!!!! Top call by Webz to go to the inters and blitz them Get a strong podium tomorrow, maybe a win and his championship starts this weekend with McLaren and Ferrari all the way at the back
  8. i hope Webz is just gettign it all together for the final lap ?!?!?!?!
  9. OK, enough sand bagging and hanging crap on Webz...COME ON OLD SON! PUT IN A BLINDER FOR P1!
  10. Fark Bernie and his idiot mates running this show. So glad i didnt jump accross the pond. Imagine the second year in the rain for a cancelled quali/race and appointed positions
  11. Webber backwards into the sand trying to hard to get the front row
  12. What a cool Top 10 for Q3, shame the Ice Skatin gRussian got pipped be the has been German
  13. So is Button allowed to run?
  14. 5mins to go, what the bet that Hamo and the Fez are gone!
  15. Yeh but its pissing down. just like it is in Singapore
  16. Kerry's car looks nice, but have passed since it isnt registerable. I would consider an unregistered car if it had more fruit in the way of brakes, wheels and suspension...but since it isnt registered will keep looking around.
  17. I will be mega pissed off if quali is delayed until Sunday morning! Bernie and his idiot mates scheduel the race and quali right in th emiddle of stormo'clock, surprise surprise you get monsoon rains. Whats wrong with a 2pm start and the race will be finished by the time the rain typically comes...Didnt they learn anything last year?
  18. Massive storm blowing through Singapre right now, heading towards KL...who knows if it has the legs to make it that far
  19. In my view, a good handling car is a good handling car. If its not understeering or oversteering then just leave it alone. If you find for whatever reason you are losing grip at one end of the car before the other, then soften up the end that is most appropriate. If you are in the middle settings i would alwas go softer trying to get the balance. So if you have understeer then soften the front. If you have oversteer then soften the rear until the balace feels better. Hard is not faster, especially if you are running average grip road tyres on the track
  20. So F40 brakes, hi-flow turbo, std box, BC QF Rims, nismo diff...the last piece of the puzzle.... what shocks/springs ?
  21. I am guessing , brakes and suspension, shocks etc will be basicall as the shell last raced ?!?!?!?!
  22. Well when you are speaking to Ben you may want to point out that he has some of his wires crossed He needs to change the and/or to just pads, perhaps rotors. The GT3 cars do not run Endless, not the calipers at least, and its my experience that the rotors are very commonly Performance Friction, though imagine AP or Brembo are just as popular. Brembo and then AP Racing supply the bulk of GT3, GT2, GT1 and Formula 1 teams. Endless kit is no doubt good, but....
  23. I am curious to hear more about the XR6 Turbo. I assume it wil be lighter then a V8 Supercar, handle as good as a V8 Supercar, have more power then a V8 Supercar. I assume they will be going from the 17" tyres the V8s have to run and will go 18s, then question will be will they be able to get wide enough and sticky enough rubber under it. Just quietly, if it has a good steerer i think the barge could be a bit of a surprise packet .
  24. Any more info on the brake setups and the Nurburgring 24hr results? I was walking around the pits at the SPA 24Hr and they may have been using Endless pads, and perhaps rotors, but Brembo and AP calipers were the norm amongst the GT1, GT2 and GT3 cars. I know the Manthey GT3s run Brembos as i had a poster of it, not sure if it was the 2008 or 2007 car, i support they could have changed in 2009. But i cant recall seeing a single car run Endles calipers
  25. Updates, any more pics. This is one of the more interesting/different builds posted of late
