A crash involving a Toro Rosso truck will not affect the teams performance this weekend. The truck was carrying a fleet on minibuses that would have been used to transport the team to & from the circuit and hotel. The incident happened when another truck crashed into the rear end of the Toro Rosso vehicle. The damage is estimated at £104,000. The team will find an alternative fleet of vehicles to transport their personnel.

Wonder if Vettel was driving behind the truck...

senna only has two races to prove him self (Belgian and Italian Grands Prix)

Team principal Eric Boullier feels Senna has the right qualities to drive for Renault.

"We are happy to provide Bruno with the chance to begin racing with Lotus Renault GP, starting at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend," the Frenchman said. "He has proved himself to be an attentive member of the team since he joined almost seven months ago, and we are confident that he will demonstrate his ability alongside Vitaly (Petrov)."

Renault said on their team website that their "present intention is to give Bruno the opportunity to race for the rest of the season. However, some legal issues have not been fully resolved as yet and, as a result, the team will make another announcement on this matter in due course."

in other news still talk about mark and his contract, he said

"I know some of you are waiting for news on my future," he wrote in his column for BBC Sport.

"I stopped off in Salzburg for a meeting with Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz on my way to the Hungarian Grand Prix last month and, as planned, the August break gave me a good opportunity to have a chat with team principal Christian Horner about me continuing in 2012."

q&a with senna for those that are interested

bruno (you can't call him 'senna' ffs) will have his work cut out. petrov is pretty decent and I can't say I ever remember bruno doing anything that great. if he can get on top of petrov in these 2 races then he's in with a chance at a drive. but I doubt it.

Portugese naming customs are odd, to say the least.

Bruno Senna is actualy Bruno Senna Lalli. His mothers maiden name is Senna & his fathers name is Lalli - hence Senna Lalli.

In the same way Ayrton was actually Ayrton Senna Da Silva. He just used the Senna bit becuase it sounded better to the English.

This is typical not some confected hyphonated nonsense like the poms use to sound more impressive.

For that matter Ayrton is not actually pronounced airtun.

But anyway. Here is hoping Bruno goes ok. Bit hard to light the world up in a HRT as Ricciardo (pronounced Rickardo FFS) is finding.

Yeh, will be watching with interest how your Bruno goes. I have never thought much of his ability even though he has had good results in lower categories. I think he is there because of his name, nothing else...so happy to be proven wrong. He will be doing well to get withing 0.8sec of Petrov in quali and withing 1 minute of Petrov in the races (IMO)

Its painful to have been at this track only 10 days ago and now having to watch this race on tv :(

Why don't you just find and internet peepshow and get the girl/s to say saucy things to you like "oooh oooh eau rouge" or "spank me on my Blanchimot" or "you can park your bike in my Bust-top"

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
