Roy

As delusional as Maldanado this bloke. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/9487921/JEV-I-showed-my-potential Scrappiest of races with penalities, running off the road left right and centre...yet is claiming it as his arrival drive. Where did he qualify again? Hack. Off you go to Nissan LMP1 program and leave Romain to fly the F1 flag

I hope something happens somewhere that gives Romain a shot at McLaren or Fezz. Still stick by my statements that Alonso will see out Fezz and Vettel a chance to sign for McLaren for 2016 season with Romain keeping his seat warm for 2015....which will effectively bne a drive off between Romain and Magnussen to see who will partner Vettel in 2016.

Ok, so for 3.2k you get: - Trust T67-25G, near new. Done less than 3,000kms in the past 12 months - 6boost manifold, done about 10,000kms over teh past 3 years - Turbosmart gate, same age as manifold - 3" stainless dump pipe - Inlet pipe (BOV return point) and HKS filter. Also can com with twin 4" air filter pipe (HKS) if you want to run 2 inlet filters. - Quality braide oil supply and return line with sheathing - Can also supply E85 tune running Z32 AFM and 1000cc injectors to get you close to the mark on your setup and reduce tunign time 3" Dump T67 when new (Right) about 3,000kms ago Spare inlet pipe

So Alonso to McLaren...seems there is sooo much chatter today! Hope not. I would loved to have him to have been rewarded with a few more Fezzz WDCs

Yeh, Autosport have done some very revealing articles... inc the scam that CVC have going wioth hotels, logistics suppliers etc who all charge members of the series rapey prices for things the public get cheaper

70% from the commercial rights. In the F1 pool of money what is the commercial rights?

What a maggot! Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone says the easiest way to bring down grand prix ticket prices is for teams to accept less commercial rights income.

Doesnt sound like it....read the funding model? Will be lucky to scrape together the funds for LMP2...though if they do I will be there at Le Mans next year barracking them on

But none of the top cars look any good. Nemo etc, the Scorch S15...all gone full retard he lap times dont lie so the creations of Andrew Brilliant obviously work but I have to wonder if someone put down the crack pipe and just did a car with solid aero how much it would lose out...if any? I mean Super GT cars, DTM obviously work well without looking retarded. A basic GT3 car is only 3 seconds a lap slower and whilst they are amazing race cars...they dony have a lot of hp and have a load of safety and endurance crap in them which at approx 1350kg and 550hp isnt really scary time attack like weight and hp numbers

I don't recall that? I remember he co-drove with Larry in the 89-91. If it was a VN it woudl have been a Mobil 1 car...otherwise VLs

Watching that Legends series reminded why Mezera is one of my all time fav tin top drivers. Such a shame I couldnt care less about 98% of the grid as it stands as they are all hollow pieces of media trained fluff. Murphy is about the only guy I will support.... and what Nissan and co are doing for next years test day clash with the 12hr gives me more reason to dislike the series and the teams

Now that he is d1cking a Spice Girl and has front row seats to kiss Bernie's ass he seemed to have forgotten himself there for a second. Why if you were in his shoes you would d1ck a Spice Girl and kiss Bernie's ass is concerning

Eat a d1ck Horner

I think people are missing some rather tasty RB20 turbo combinations out there by not thinking outside the box. Personally, if I had an RB20 and I wanted good mid range and grunt I would go one of these , depending on whether you wanted a tad more power or a tad more response. If you can run E85 and bump boost from 18-19psi to 22-23 psi then you would think it would be a bloody good setup for reasonabel dollars. Take one of these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Turbine-Housing-Kinugawa-TD05H-T517Z-T518Z-T3-8cm-AR61-V-Band-External-Gated-/281436442957?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4186eb514d Weld a Turbsomart 40m external gate to it and then grab one of these to slap in the housing and work on your std exhaust manifold. http://www.bptstore.com/Subaru-WRXSTi-TD05H-16G-XT-Turbocharger_p_23.html OR http://www.bptstore.com/Subaru-WRXSTi-TD05H-18G-XT_p_11.html With std inlet manifold, setup cam gears I think you would have a good setup with the durability of the RB20 that pulls some healthy revs and make better power response wise then the horrible hi-flows that are available for RB20s that dont seem to ever match the response of the my 20G setup and certainly no hope in hell of making the 310rwkws the 20G made Rememebr that std RB20s have pretty durable pistons and bloody strong rods and with such a short stroke the piston speeds and bottom end loads can handle a fair wach of boost safely. E85 gives you a nice safety blanket but a quality tune on 98, ideally United 100 will give you pretty damn good results IMO Turbo, housing and gate with modded dump etc woudl be 2k. Relatively straight forward installation and then just tune it up with Nistune, Z32 and some injectors. All up depending on what you do yourself and what you have to pay to get done you could have it all in and done for 4k ish. Frankly I wouldnt worry too much about the RB25 turbo upgrade...better off workign towards a better turbo setup as the CU and tuning is going to cost the bulk of the coin so may as well save until you can club it with a good turbo

Volvo! Please! Anything but Whincup or an FPR win...anything.

Its car forum and I am a fan boy.

LOL, meters were rubbish but other teams had the same problems, but they suffered in silence and went with the proper procedure. RBR picked a fight and didnt follow the correct process and got burnt. RBR doing a hatchet job over the politics around the faulty meter doesnt mean the meters were not problematic. Says I

I think you will find that the manufacturer has innovated their behinds off and the units are now largely production ready....vs the start of the season when they were steaming pieces of shiza!

Those switches...seems best to wire a relay off it so that the switch doesnt see the current draw

Honestly, with reliability, engine penalties and double points, I wonder if Seb not moving over for Dan will matter at year's end. He is 60 points behind Homo...shame he got robbed of his Melb points.

There is a lot to like about the ARK R32 GTR...but there is the obvious problem of function taking precedent over anything that looks remotely good.

The stupid thing is that 14 points between 1st and 2nd at the final race means that there is a very strong chance of whichever Merc driver wins there will win the championship. Imagine if you are Homo then going in with a 12 point advantage and way more GP wins then anyoen else this season and you dont win the WDC. Its pretty silly. It is rather shocking the reliability issues the Mercs are having. They are worse than RBR, McLaren, Fezz, Williams, FI etc when it coems to mechanical retirements. Good thing they are so damn fast. Pulling out a 25 second advantage on used tyres over about 10laps is pretty clear indication that they enjoy a huge pace advantage

Was also interesting to read Vettels comments about how he thought it was odd-risky for Homo to overtake him where he chose to rather then wait one more corner and a straight...Vettel said he had to kove over for him so to avoid risk of contact. Seems Homo just likes the drama

You need data from the car. Imagine Pastor gives you a tap in the first corner. 6 laps later you are going into a 6th gear 280km/h sweeper and your rear wing fails. Someone can be hurt of killed, spectators , marshalls....when if the pit could see that they had strange downforce readings they will pick up that the rear wing may be damaged. Ditto ERS systems. Can see for verious safety reasons they need to be able to monitor the health of the cars

NO! This car is about perfect in my eyes!!!! It is just about everything I have tried to do with my club street car only neater and tidier! LOL the only thing it msised was 8 pot Indycar brakes Shame to see it go, hopefully finds a good home!
