Good to see Kimi putting down a better time in Q3 when it mattered as opposed to the Q1 and Q2 times...

Well done to Webber...if he's not just running stupidly light to get a good spot in Qualifying then he should do well.

And how's Lousie's form...everyone congratulated HIS team-mate but him. Completely ignored him. Maybe all the other drivers hate Hamilton as much as us and were happy to see HK beat him.

I watched ESPN's coverage of the qualifying (with british commentators) and they were so far not Hamilton biased like the iTV flogs, it was great :banana:

just wait til tonight to hear all about how great hamilton is and how he'll carve up the field like Senna and Shumy and leave the rest for dead.

Why would Webber run light>? Maybe the car is just that good at Silverstone- Fingers crossed. I doubt its either a publicity stunt or a light fuel load but we shall see.

I havent seen the ESPN coverage, i usually watch the "natural sounds" one coz then i dont have to listen to or understand anything the commentators have to say!

All natural bebe.

webber (or RBR really) have been getting extremely poor starts this season, so hopefully he gets away well this time around, otherwise i fear he'll end up fourth before he even gets to Copse.

Massa should, for his own sake at least, put on a show with Ferrari's stright line advantage and pass a few of the slower guys in the early part of the race.

Going to be a good race

The reason i know webber isnt running light is that in Quali 2 he was only a tenth off fastest, eventually ending up 3rd in that session and it doesnt take a genius to figure out that everyone was out there on fumes trying to get into Quali 3...

So the car, and more importantly, Webber ultimately has the pace and thats obvious to see from the Q2 times.

Get up there on the Podium Weeboo!

Yeah itll be good - you can bet youre maso heritage on that little piece of trivia Ive.

Thing is, Webbers always sucked at starts, so i dunno... i kinda half expect him to fail at the first corner like he so often does... :banana::)

Im with you. Webber commented that everyone must have been on a different strategy, suggesting that they were heavy so he was up the top. But Q3 pace shows that the RBR cant be too bad a thing., The only negative is DC is nowhere again, so Webbers pace could be a little inflated with fuel, but i doubt it.

Webber is a pretty conservative guy and doesnt have a history of light fuel loads, if anything he normally goes a tad heavier and lets his abikity to put a lap together look after him in quali. His biggest advantage is Lewis and Kimi are behind him so will be more occupied with one another then Webber up front. So Webber v Heikki, personally i would back Webber in a wheel to wheel stoush, but the Mclaren will walk away from him :)

I am so pumped about tonight! Have the video player all set :P

webber is THE man. red bull on the front row, who'd have thunk it. but we all know webber is a champ. looking back over his career it's hard to really believe he hasn't been given a drive at a top team. he deserves it for so many reasons.

it will be a top race. webber will be on the podium and koob will make up some good places and get some points.

Well, as Hamilton is a few back from Heikki, it will be interesting to see if Heikki can race from the lead and brign it home. Or somehow LH jumps him during one of the two pit stops of the day?

Personally i wont be too sad if Lewis and Kimi get a bit competitive and hamper one another allowing us to see Webber and Heikki have a straight battle at the front for the first 20 or so laps. I hope Webber gets a sniff and doesnt get swallowed on the first few corners :)

Webber won't have the pace for the McLaren, he will be immediately defending from the Ferrari (if he doesn't get passed by it at the first corner) and this will give Heikki a chance to grab a 3-5sec lead before running wide and having Kimi on his back until the first round of pitstops...

i'm not convinced webber is as light as people are making out.

by his tongue in cheek response to the journos, i think he may have a pretty average opening stint fuel load on board and was gobsmacked when other cars were just plain slower.

he was on the pace all weekend and was very quick only the macs looked faster.

now he can bog it down on the start but then work his way to a glorious win carving his way through the traffic when it rains.

That would absolutely make my year.

Hes always been filth in the rain.

What are the chances for water in the race anyways?

from F1 website

The skies above Silverstone were dark and overcast first thing Sunday, and the forecast remains for unpredictable weather with frequent heavy rain showers and an ambient temperature high between 17 and 18 degrees Celsius.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
