Mercedes GP are to contimue supplying engines to the various team upto 2015, but are selling/have sold their 40% share of Mclaren.

Roseberg has hit the jackpot, Heidfeld makes a lucky escape yet again

If button doest get his Mac seat, he's well and truely fcukd

... bye kimi, was great while it lasted

75% share...just on the news here in the UK. Will be interesting who they sign. Talk is it will e be the German superteam of Heidfeld and Rosberg....but if Mercedes want Vettel over Heidfeld i can see them paying lots of money to RBR allowing them to afford Kimi.

How good is it that I find this out via Al-Jazeera.....

Got to love extremists and their die hard attitude for F1

TATA Motors inbound and Button with Louise at Mac-Homo.

I can also see a slide down the grid for Team GB already.

Kimi at RBR with Webber!

Shaun, it isn't called the silly season for nothing.

Heidlfeld part of a German superteam? He is a chance of limping in for some finishes when the cards fall the right way.

Rosberg finally gets his shot which is good for him but without Vettel they are hardly the best German pairing.

I wonder what Haug meant by a few surprises, Can RBR really be interested in Merc engines, enough to swap Vettel and a wad of cash whereby affording Kimi? The more i think about the more i want it to be true! I ddi read that RBR even thought no announcement has been made have continued with the design of next years car around the Renault V8

Absolutely they still need to be designed around an engine. Dont forget the Brawn was one of th emost sensitive on the gri to overheating, i recall two races where they were turning the engine down due to temps and one of those races they hacked away at side pods on race day to get better cooling,

Also, the engine you run influences the gearbox you are most likely going to end up running which means the hydraulics are going to be different etc etc...so you want to get the engine in the back of the car ASAP, especialy in the current era of F2 whn hundredths of a second matter

I aware of that and I'm not insinuating that's it's as simple as just dropping different engines into different chassis', but I think with modern F1 cars where the engine is part of the chassis it's maybe not as difficult as it once was..... Obviously the earlier they have a confirmed chassis/engine combo the easier the deal is for all designers and engineers

top three guys in the top three teams, with red bull the dark horse

Whoever partners hammo will be pretty hard team to stop

Brawn/Mercedes with Roseberg will be a contender for sure

Nando will be like a pitpull off a leash at team jihad after 2 years in the sin bin

Vettel and webber to pick up steady podiums

the 2010 n00bs are in for a tough season. points looks very hard to come by now

    • You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.
    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
