yeah we need a kick arse international standard race track in aus. something like fuji speedway (facility wise, not neccisarily track wise) in aus would float my boat.

Just send them all to Bathurst, tell all the bogans the cars have V8's and they will love it! The cars will be up to about 400km/h by the end of Conrod.

Yeah great idea. 2 hours of racing which would include atleast an hour and a half of safety cars. Plus there would be exactly zero chance that the Bathurst circuit would be able to be certified to run a GP.

The only circuits worthy would be Adelaide & PI.

It is a shame that the money poured into Albert Park every year can't be put somewhere that could use it for the remainder of the year. Still anyone old enough to remember the "international" circuit at Sandown - remember the Group C race in the eighties? - may conclude it isn't worth the risk...

Hey mate, don't take me so seriously, it was said tongue on cheeck.

i went to the GP a couple of years ago, just before they introduced the V8 engine rule, and i drove past an advertising billboard in a bus stop, which said "Now this is a real V8 Supercar" and had a picture of the Toyota F1 car of the time. it was so funny....

i guess you had to be there... :P

Warning: Read the warnings.

Just a quick warning to anyone wanting to look at the new Renault livery.

Make sure you breakfast/lunch/dinner is well settled before trying this.

You have been warned.

haha agreed... terrible.

If you dont want spluttering diarrhea,i suggest you dont look at it. I know i couldnt control my bowles after viewing the car.

I dont mind it...but the Honda looks the biz. Shame its not the colours they will run the first GP in :thumbsup:

Hopefully it will last longer than it did today, where the thing broke down on the first lap it did. :mellow::cheers:

I just noticed how much the RB3 looks like the Mclaren... a blend between the MP4-20 and 22

Seems like Newey has a distinctive style about his aerodynamics. My vote for one of the best designs on the grid, especially with that long sleek nose it has. They have to be competative this year, it'd be impossible for them not to be...

Newey or computer that does all the computational fluid dynamics on the car before it even gets near the wind tunnel? Fom what I understand Newey's genious (& from all accounts he does have a brain the size of a planet) is as much in packaging the car together as in aero.

true but... its obvious to any armchair professinal like you and i, to see that the sidepod air intakes of both cars are very very similar, even the geometry of both front and rear wings is strikingly similar.

Also the deisgn of the rear end (excluding the chimny's) looks pinched. But as you said thats probably because Newey has used a similar method of thinking and packaging techniques for both... lol and not that you can really 'pinch' your own design

what are you saying? the renault looks like a dogs breakfast?? no way mate. i think its pretty damned slick. I especially liked how they bought back the colour scheme from the 90's renaults on the nose..reminded me of the fw14b. although i will say that last years renault was much prettier.

Lenovo signing with williams was a surprise and a great move by a shrewd operator. Thats a vault full of chinese yuan to dip into! Alonso is being forced to fit the "Dennis" mould. How well do you think it would go down if he still had his flowing locks at McLaren? not too well i think. personally i think he looks terrible with a buzz cut. But thems the breaks..apparantly Dennis is keeping em well away from booze and beatches in light of Raikkonens past drunken debauched antics. poor bastards.

try telling that to david couthard. and for the record i agree Webbo will send him into retirement this year. DC's had a good run but its time for Webbo to step up and take the leaders mantle.

Just so you guys know i was at Suzuka last year and had the privelage of meeting most of these guys. i had a quite a chat with Mark. Hes really as down to earth as he looks. I met Michael and he took a few minutes out to stop and chat to me. At one point he told me i talk too much but was till nice enough to sign something and have a few pics. He thought the design of my S4 nikon was cool. Ralf was definitely the more approachable of the two. He seemed much more relaxed than Michael.

Alonso stopped for a minute and signed my cap and shirt. I was decked out in Renault gear, but one of the highlights was sitting in the log cabin with a pissed John Button ( jensons dad ), A chatty wine drinking Fischella, and a gorgeous canadian underwear model until 1 am!

top stuff. The british journos there were a bunch of rude, but piss funny , jackasses.

another nice thing was being invited into the red bull motorhome by Gerhard Berger, a man who i have immense respect for, to have a drink, a snack and a bit of a chat.

i got photos of all this so when i have time ill show you what this ex pat managed to achieve..

what blew me away most, was that i got to meet schuie 1 RACE before his retirement. I couldnt believe how fortunate i was and im a guy who came from Adelaide and watched GP's all his life and i NEVER ONCE got that close!

Japans great for so many different reasons.

ill post pics soon.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
