lol, leave the polish alone brisby. we don't have much to cheer about!

yeah DRS at the exit of radillion will mean some nice overtaking into les combes...

not sure it matters having the DRS detection before eau rouge as they are flat from la source all the way to eau rouge, up the hill and out the other side at radillon and all the way to les combes. so no one is passing anyone into eau rogue or through eau rogue for that matter unless we are talking RBR on a 2002 minardi...

kubica has more scheduled surgery this month, so he probably won't be back this year.

i'm in good spirits about spa, with all the updates the teams are bringing it will be good.

I sincerely doubt Kubica will ever be back. It's very rare for a driver to come back after such a severe injury, or to be competitive if he does. I genuinely hope I'm wrong, I like him, but I'll believe it when I see it.

its held every year. they invite drivers from various disciplines - rally, F1, touring cars etc to compete on a mickey-mouse indoor track like a scaled down WRC Super special stage with various buggies and weird open wheelers like KTM X-bow.

What does Aus have to do to get an invite, with Dan and Webz would be good to see them fly the colours....though with the likes of Power, Briscoe etc seems odd we dont get to run....years ago Ireland got a spot ffs

Oh, and IMO Spa doesnt need DRS. They are such long straights that if your tyres are two laps older I think they are going to struggle to defend position into Les Combes and after the blast up through Blanchimont and into the chicane, hell if Baron can overtake GT3s in a lowly Exige at that part of the track then maybe Vettel can do it this year without punting someone :)

the guy that plays "McDreamy" on greys anatomy races in the american le mans series.

did remind me of when back in the day (mid to late 90's) one of the f1 teams (can't remember which) let mick doohen have a run in one of their cars. pretty sure that his top speed at the speed trap end of the straight was faster than the regular drivers. have to see if i can find the article in the magazine.

you missed

Tom Cruise - producer and star of mission impossible gp - which opens on December 21, took a break from post-production work to accept an invitation to test drive the Red Bull Racing Formula One car in Southern California on Monday, August 15. David Coulthard, a 13-time grand prix winner and former Red Bull Racing driver, served as Cruise’s instructor for the day with support from a 12-person crew, who flew in from Milton Keynes.

      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)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
