Rossi must be feeling a little bit cheated not getting the call up to Marussia for Austin

Try removing the backing plates. 90% of people find a far nicer pedal as the old backing plates take up that little bit of early pedal travel compressing them more than you actually get in pad travel to stop the car. So result in often a spongy pedal

They shouls stick with WEC. Shame if the series loses them as a manufaturer

Can I ask why you want remote reservoir shocks? The quality of the shock valving matters more than a cheaper shock running external reservoirs. Typically with external reservoir shocks you are getting features such as separate high speed, low speed bump and rebound adjustment etc rather than just a single dial to do everything. Its more those sorts of features then simply a bit of extra fluid volume that make them kick ass...provided you have a clue on what your car really needs in teh way of separate bump and rebound adjustment

There is one very obvious and easy to exploit option for RBR here. Sack Renault and go with Nismo-infinit. Then for 2015 Nismo can take the 2014 Renault engine and do a Supertec-Mechachrome job and enter as a new engine supplier. Caterham are not going to be around next year to need an engine. Lotus have walked. How hard is it for Renault to leave F1 next year and give the operation to Nismo and just suppy STR and RBR? I know Renault like to have their name associated with F1 but ...at the end of the day I am pretty sure Mecachrome still buidl the Renault engines anway, its hardly in house. So Nismo just take overpaying the invoices

Probably. Maybe I wonder which V8 Supercar team Sam Michael is going ot come back and be a hack for? Shame he sucked at Williams and McLaren. I have read he is actually very good but simpy overworked at Williams and landed in a sh1t storm at McLaren. It was UK journo but could be your typical "make excuses for the Aussie and make out he is great even though he is average"

White R32s are yummy. There were a few colours that I considered when I got my car sprayed and it basically came down to white or silver. Still not sure I got it right With a good tune the lil 20s can take some abuse and provide a load of giggles So got more stuf back from powder coaters, More bushes and bolts and nuts and washers etc and damn close ot having alloy hubs in the front of my car. Such a waste in hindsight to go to the lengths I have but meh...is what it is and will be good that it is so neat when its done Before AFTER Had the uprights blasted, zinc coated (in case powder coating cracks over time) and then powder coated in a rather dull but very durable silver Going for silver and light pastel silver powder coating as I want all light colours so its oiss easy to see tell tale leaks and drips etc. Had a little porblem with the new ball joints. I am telling me this is typical but not happy so going to get some 42mm shim washers and pack the gap between the arm and the circlip

That's so crap! Tony simply put too much faith in retard Gascoyne....cost and complexity of new engines obviously not helping either http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/116445 Some suppliers are going to get screwed whilst assets are moved around, debt written off and team continues. What do you expect when you have a Romanian in charge Really would like to see sleeker more elegant cars with less aero and way more tyre....help even the cars up without uber aero budgets and development

Need lower control arms. Are these std height ball joint or extended for roll centre adjustment? Pm me your contact number please

Bought these RCA from Japan for my R32 GTSt, Just fitted them and the circlip doesnt bottom out and locate the ball joint on the arm like it should Its an R32 GTSt LCA 100%, I am wondering if they sent me a rear or a front R33 one or something that allows for a different height between the flange of the arm and the circlip groove? Thoughts...people know the difference between all the relative front/rear and model ball joints?

I serioulsy hope Button doesn't end up at Porsche. Can you imagine half way through le Mans him wanting to chanrge the car setup as the car gets understeer and cant drive around/to the characteristics of the track and car. Let him go to Nissan as well, he can listen to Jev whine about how he was as good as Dan

Too many Cosworth and Pectel parts ie UK parts for it to run reliably But it did look better than expected all stickered up from the pics I saw. Shame to see them not get many kms under their belt give all the work that has gone in to it. Still, team Last Minute will always struggle with such complex cars

Well, good luck to JEV running around in Nissan's sportscar program. If I was him I would leave as another season at STR is just going to make him the Luizzi measuring stick BUT, for me a more interesting discusson is Hulk and Perez. Seriously, Perez has come on strong and I am thinking that McLaren all happened that little bit too soon for him. He is having a cracking back half of the season

Lets cherry pick our points then. Going into Monaco and returning to Europe JEV had 1 point compared to Dan's 7 points. TOTALLY/CLEARLY KICKING HIS ASS. Thats why I look at the amount of points finishes as having more weight then points to a point in the season. There is only one supreme French F1 talent and thats Romain ...and really he is Swiss In all seriousness whilst I have no love for Jev he has done enough this year to get another year. You only have to look at how Webber went from strong to hopeless post 2010, Vettel to crap this year. Kimi to winning and now struggling to appreciate that the cars are a little fickle and being a fraction off in one years car doesnt mean you cant take a huge step with a car or tyre that somehow fits you better. And, for mine I accpet that JEV is the new Heidfeld. Has potential, a load of what ifs around his performances and somehow seems to accumulate points despite never seeming to impress in other than a single race a season. I scratch my head how he can say that he is capable of Dan like RBR results because when they were team mates they were close....he was never close. He qualified several positions behind every race, never raced in 3rd - 4th with distinction in a GP like Dan did all day at the British GP until like Kimi stayed out and made the wrong call. Never stuck the car in 6th in Bahrain. Instead when in racey positions he runs into people havign received few 10 spot penalties for the next race etc.

LOL...who is full of IFs now? I suppose if you never make Q3 and always have an extra set of fresh tyres its easier to claw a few seconds back in a race Soundly beating Dan in 2013 up to the test? Try 3 points scoring finishes each Dan 7, 10 and 8th with Jev 10, 8 and 6th leading up to Britsh GP. As for Singapore...driving off the circuit every pass helps I guess. Cant argue with the result but it was a rather scrappy, messy drive. He was unlucky not to get Vettels seat and it was probably a close call against Dan. But obviously his frequent mistakes, penalties and messy quali excursions don't ooz confidence. I rate his Canada drive but its about the only time he has strung a solid weekend together without hiccups or driving into people like in Spain etc

Yeh, I have to admit that whilst I dont like or rate him he is damn unlucky to be overlooked as i think for the next season, possibly two JEV will be doing the better job than Daniil will at RBR. May not have the pace, or head space to be a Vettel but is capable of being there about most weekends and over a season pull in some good points. As for beating Dan...please ! 2013 Dan vs JEV Points: 20 vs 13 Best Finish: 7th vs 6th Points Finishes: 7 vs 3 Head to Head Quali: 15 v 4 Avg Quali Pos: 10.68 vs 13.63 Cliff Notes: Dan was on for a 4th or so place @ Silverstonewhen the team made the wrong call and didnt pit him with the others and had to struggle on old tyres losing a few palces in the last few laps after the late safety car. I am sure JEV had a few tough brakes as well but overall the years results speak to the trend. 2012 Dan vs JEV Points: 10 vs 16 Best Finish: 9th vs 8th Points Finishes: 6 vs 4 Head to Head Quali: 15 v 5 Avg Quali Pos: 14.7 vs 16.65 Cliff Notes: JEV was behind Dan on the road and inherited one of his 8th places when Dad had mech failures at ends of races. In particular Korea Dan should have finished 8th instead of JEV but a broken swaybar meant he waas limping and JEV overtook him for 8th whilst Dan held on for 9th. In Monza was good for 10th until fuel pump failed on second last lap. There was JEV being hit by Schuey so both sides had bad luck in 2012..but when you weigh up some of the circumstance, along with the speed shown in a rather poor car with rather inconsistant performance...generally people conceded JEV had more points but it was circumstance that played him his hand.

Ahh. I see Mr Red Bull is umming about keeping a slow, more experienced brick alongside the young gun

Says who?

He deserves a the sphincter of the universe slap off a Singaporean lady boy.

Well that sux

Well, I cant recall Lewis every really going that well in Brazil...then again I cant recall Rosberg doing that well there either. Looking at the final 3 tracks US and AD look good for Homo over Rosberg. I wonder if last night was a bit of confidence Rosberg needs. He has been doing panicky moves in the last few GPs and handing it to Hamilton without making him even earn it. Last night all he had the inside line and all he had to do was put Lewis to the sword by being wheel to wheel on the inside. ...or wait until DRS...just too panicky and trying to hood wink Lewis rather than set him up for a cool, calm move like he did just about the entire grid last night...whislt makign his tyres last. So, yeh,. Hopefully last night will give him some confidence as he is been scrappy

So much for any of the other teams catching them up. They were soooo dominant today. The fact that Rosberg was quicker than Williams, Dan etc on hammered tyres...those things rarely show their true speed. Seems very ominous for next year too. They only have to tweak this years car to remain dominate whilst RBR, McLaren and Ferrari need to find 1.5-2.0 seconds over Xmas Oh well. One thing about last nights race was the joke that the FIA call track limits, Vettel in his usual great form driving straight off the track at most corner exits.

It will be dead by then. No Commodore, no Falcon and COTF. So we are going to have GT3 racing with Camaros, Mustanges and Volvos, E63s etc?

What an arrogant c0ck Julian Palmer is! Hope he gets passed over for a seat next year

What an idiot! Glad Lowndes gave Winterbottom a serve,,,if Giz couldnt win glad Mostert got it. Thats the problem with V8s, i hate most of the pilots these days. Was gutted for Gary Rogers and Ovlov fail when looking so good
