i doubt that navy blue and yellow is the final colour scheme... but i must admit it is a sexy looking car. The mirrors are a bit odd, but other than that it looks like they've taken a step forward in a lot of areas. Makes the Toyota that was just lauched look like a big red and white piece of crap

Go Toyota and Renault.

Never really liked Ferrari but I have a sinking feeling they will be very fast.

Hopefully it is a close year, I'd love to see Williams, Renault and Toyota neck and neck at the top.

Couple pre launch shots of the williams F1...

looks really nice. Only thing i dont like is the exhaust outlet, but other than that, it looks the goods. Its still not going to threaten the podium, but its a refreshing change from all the red and white on the grid.

Apparently the car at the official launch will have slightly different livery and some new parts added that are still being tested

Here is hoping Toyota can bolt together a decent engine. I have a sneaking suspicion the only differences will be that the Toyota motor will have less hp than last years Cosworth & the driver pairing won't be as good. Although maybe Rosberg will stop running into his team mate.

Hope I'm wrong.

There was an interview that I read with Wurz (I think in F1 Racing, can't be sure as my magazines are packed up to move house) that the Toyota engine had less power, torque and driveability than the Cosworth, but the dollars required for the Toyota motor where a lot less than the Cosworth, hence Sir Frank and Patrick Head went for the Toyota.

haha it seems the old boys can't get enough of each other even after life in F1!

Jan.17 (GMM) Former grand prix winner Juan Pablo Montoya has hit back at Michael Schumacher after the retired seven time world champion belittled the NASCAR series. Colombian Montoya, who is this week testing for the Daytona 500 after switching from McLaren in 2006, reckons the 38-year-old German wouldn't be able to cope with stock car racing. Schumacher told the New York Times last weekend: "What do you do in NASCAR? What is exciting there?" Montoya reacted by insisting that NASCAR is harder than it appears to F1 insiders. "Just take (Schumacher) to (the) Homestead (oval) and tell him to stay half a second off the pace," the 31-year-old is quoted as saying by AP. "He would have a heart attack."

Probably all true but... See below,

    • The title should have posted "EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26" I can seem to edit thr title on my Android.
    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
