This occurs in a lot of other popular racing events but they overcome this by penalising the car with the advantage by increasing weight / decreasing horsepower etc.

The inherent problem with handicap racing is that teams efforts in engineering a better car get rewarded by a lead trophy. Then it becomes a formula about who can best lobby the governing body to gain the best advantage. Just like Group C used to be.

places like brands hatch.

Maybe if we scrapped crappy circuits like Barbagallos and actually built some interesting, technical and exciting tracks like Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Spa Francochamps or Zandvoort in Australia then we really would need to pack up and ship over the blighty. I'm really not against our touring car series (be it V8's Group A or whatever) expanding regionally, I think racing at places like Sepang, Suzuka, Fiji and Shanghai would be absolutely awesome...

However I agree with the Zed, Lotus, Evo, STi, Fezza, Dodge, Corvette idea... Need to spruce up our local series with some fresh blood..

Oh, and parity racing sucks, as does the control tyre rule...

Bridgestone.

Dunlop.

Michelin/Pirelli.

Maybe have three 'semi-control' compounds, soft, mediums, hards.

Inters & full wets..

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
