Now, Hamilton can drive, I'll give him that, but he's only been a pro for a little while now.

When he started, they called him "The next Senna".

When he overtook someone last year, they called it a "Senna-esqe" move.

Now with the "lie-gate" He's been called a "fierce competitor" who did what he could to win.

Senna WAS extremely competitive, also he was a bit of a prick, but he WAS honest.

After crashing out with Prost, he came out and said he did it intentionally, giving the excuse of being put on the dirty side of the track. Crappy or not, he spoke his mind. He didn't make crap up only to recant later and blame someone else when caught out.

I'll admit I don't watch every second of Hamilton's racing, but I can't remember him passing anyone in the wet, on the same tyres, but Senna did that all the time, many times multiple passes in a single lap.

True, the cars were much more varied, and some would say the MP4/4 and subsequent models were very dominant, but any more so than the MP4/22 ?

Hamilton had a great season in a great car. Senna had many great seasons in average and excellent cars.

Lewis may grow and become a great driver, though personally he wouldn't make my top ten at the moment, but he's still five solid years of results away from being fit to change Senna's tyres in my book.

Opinions?

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
