Well if you can't get an RBR out of Q1, even without KERS, and on the harder tire, you can't really say too much...

Exactly...they were saying that kers gives a 0.3-0.4 sec advantage on this track...webber wasn't even near that...excuses again...

So hoping Vettel doesn't just drive away again. Would be great if his kers bails and that long straight serves as a battle ground between Button and Vettel. That might be asking too much though? Do the other back-runners have kers? Are they going to launch past Webber like last week? Hopefully he recovers well, it's going to be a bad GP for him and he'll be fighting all afternoon, but i bet he'll get some points out of it, assuming no-one takes him out.

Look forward to reading about wtf happened with that tyre choice and lap time.

KERS is no excuse for being that far down the field.

i wanna see him do well....but it just keeps going backwards. I'd say if he doesn't do well this year he should/will retire......or they are deliberately making his car suck balls so he can help hold the rest of the pack back so Veetool can win easier, and to give them an excuse to ditch him next year for someone else? Barichello maybe? he likes being second fiddle to German elitists doesnt he?? :domokun:

either way...i dont see it hapeneing for Webber. maybe he needs some prettier arm candy to BOOSt his confidence?

theres already enough ballast in the drivers seat holding that car up

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Poor webber, I feel sorry for him sometimes. He's certainly one of the best drivers, but he's never had luck on his side.

Redbull's now the top team, they may want someone like Di Resta, Petrov or Rosberg for some new blood in 2012. Though ferrari still stick with massa (I think webber>massa though)

Cause Weber will be holding a lot of Vettel's challengers back from 18th position on the grid. Unless he lassoos the cars in front to get a bit of a run up the straights.

WTF with Weber? wrong tyre choice,be interesting to know the real story on who made the desision. Not suprised to see KERS not working on mark but just fine on sebs, same cars my a@$

I'm mystified. The simple fact is an RB7 should be able to get into q2 on 7 cylinders, never mind hard tyres. And mark's a better driver than that ... at least, I've always thought he was. He's still the same guy that came close to winning the title last year, but I have to ask if his head's right. I wrote off Australia as a one-off, in Malaysia he was screwed by the KERS failure, but I can't think of any reason for this qualifying performance except him being out of the game mentally. He can fix it but he needs to take a good jar look at himself, I think

Webber also only managed 5 laps in P3 and only one of those was a timed lap, seems something has been up with his car all weekend he was way down in the other practise sessions as well. Whatever the cause without KERS here it will be a very long day for him.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
