looks like Mr Newey has set the trend once again. So far, all challangers have a variation of the RBR nose with the slight dip throughout, with that slim bottom for the diffuser

Cant wait to see what Mclaren have done. The car always looks so fcuking cool

It was an interesting time when the regs changed and all the cars came out completely different. Who was going to set the standard for what all future cars where to based? Well it turns out Redbull are the guys to emulate. so, time for a regulation change?

I think it'll suit most cars on the grid, especially Lotus. The only exceptions would prolly be Mclaren, Williams and Mercedes

Small price to pay. The white sidwalls will always look the sexiest and we did have a goor run. Everybody thought the green strip on the softs would look stupid as hell, but you get used to it. The pis of Pirelli yellow and super soft green tyres on the run will look pretty sweet i think

I think it's just due to the fact that they always print their 'logo' straight across. it's usually quite small and the same colour as the tyre so of no consequence but now that it's huge and yellow it looks a bit stupid. If they don't want to bend their recognisable logo they should just leave the P-Zero bit on the tyre and make the cars run the pirelli logo somewhere on the barge boards or something instead of on the tyre.

Sheet cant upload photos for some reason. but i got a whole lot from racing underground. the redbull car looks the goods. their rear wing and front are a little different from others

got some nice high rez images.. might try upload them someother way.

either resize them (I think the max for the site is 1200X1200) or upload and link them via imageshack etc.

Yer i thought that was it..

here goes! i got 3 folders full. heres a few.. they have most of the other cars there also.. and a few videos of Fernando coming off on track..

some nice lookin bits on the rb7.. the gills on the rear end plates look sweet. along with them extending the body fair way back to the wing.. i dont think the others did it for this year..

Looks little different from those shots. Some tweaking of the front wing design.

Has the fduct tho.. so that would be last years model? i got some good photos of it and thought it looked slightly different on the wings..

the virgin cars however.. wooh wooh wee waaaahh!! look pretty aggressive

decided to do a few. these are track photos, as i've not downloaded each teams folder..

Force indian doesnt look like its changed much, williams looks like its going to morph into a submarine, schueys mercedes looks sweet..

the rest well you decide!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
