wow, who would have thought this piece of shit track would bring back boring racing

How in the fcuk are places like this and hungary allowed to be apart of the calander

Well done to vettel, just counting down the weeks until this championship is done. Kind of a shame that with the points lead he has now, he doesnt even have to win or come second to have this all locked up.

+1 to this.

Oh, and am I the only one getting sick of hearing "I have no KERS, KERS is gone"... then said driver immediately puts in fastest lap of the race on their next lap or two?

Lastly, DRS is as shitful a Ecclestone... if DRS must be used, can we at least have it available on corners?

6L atmo? even that is waaaay too quick.

4 cylinder sounds crap, i'm suer v6 wouldn't be that good either. inline 6 is a possibility but for packaging reasons nobody uses them in production cars any more. v8 sounds crap especially with this blown diffuser nonsense.

I'm a fan of smaller capacity V10 or V12, NA. Keep the cylinder count high, no RPM limit, and reduce capacity as required to keep power within sensible limits. Besides that I say "anything goes" with the engine as long as they still sound meaty and not tinny like a motorbike. Not really a fan of turbo, it kills the exhaust sound. V12s were before my time but the V10s sounded magnificent.

Get rid of this reliability stuff, engines and gearboxes lasting half a season etc. The random blowups used to make things interesting.

Aero needs to be simplified still further, to make it easier for cars to follow closely. That and mechanical grip needs to be improved. I think DRS has too many rules, and is a bit artificial. I have no problem with KERS because drivers are free to use it at any point in the lap.

The main thing for me is the sound. In between F1 practice sessions when the two seater V10 comes out my jaw drops and I go what... is... THAT.... :worship:

When did this happen? Lap times drop with fuel loads but I think it is safe to say that KERS makes cars quicker.

as pointless as not even putting in a time in q3? these tyre regs need the most work

from start to finish, this whole weekend has been a complete let down

Refueling would solve so many problems. Two, three or four stints where cars are driving flat out rather than circulating to manage fuel, tyres, engines and gearboxes.

Button did it last night if I recall correctly.

Also I think Webber did it a couple of times earlier this year

Fuel reduction is the main reason plus the on/off nature of some KERS modules when they get too hot.

I agree, but JB did it the lap he was heard on the team radio last night.

Whether the team radio broadcast was quite delayed I do not know.

I think you will find that those messages are delayed, have heard the commentators say as much a few times, was more than likely coincidence

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
