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

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
