none and buckley's?

too bad Toyota's usual modus operandii of 'rock up, dump a shit-load of money on the problem, win' didn't come to fruition. 7 years, not once on the top podium spot. ouch

F1's a very different beast to other motorsport discilpines

might have been different if they threw more money at a real good experienced driver? They've had the raw pace on a few occassions over the years.

Reaing EVO a few issues back they wre talking about the new McLaren road car and his focus on making that part of the business work.

Does anybody remember the number of cars that must be on the grid otherwise promoters can murder Bernie? Forgetting the new teams for a minute.

Sauber and Toyota gone, and possibly Renault. ( i expect them to pull out, i dont care that they signed Kubica). So thats only 14 cars on the grid. I am half expecting one of the new teams to pull out, or at least fall over mid season when their hack has been or rookie driver bins too many cars and they cant keep pace with actual chassis etc etc

So is it 16 cars that must be on the grid as promised to even promoters? I think Bernie is going to have to get busy with some support for some people

Spot on. He's running the sports car and automotive technology section of the business now.

The day to day running of the race team is Whitmarsh's gig.

24 car at the moment Roy, minimum in most of the contracts is 14 cars, so 5 more teams can drop out before Bernie has any issues that way, and all he'll do at that stage is enforce the rule regarding to top teams needing to field 3 cars.

    • 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?
