Awww Poor Diddums

Hmmm, so a world champ gets pissed because his car is not up to scratch? Seems fair enough to me, a bit different to a certain pommy media darling who puts on the grumpy face when he does not come first.

Lets see:

Pole positions: 0

Wins: 0

Podiums: 0

Championship position: 4th

So, yeah, on track.

given that webber has 2 more championship points than this time last year, is only 11 points behind the leader (instead of 26 last year), is ahead of bieber and is getting slightly better starts than last year (dropping half as many spots off the line as last year), i'd say he'd be well chuffed.

Hmm, not sure. Last year he couldnt win a race (until it stopped mattering) because he couldnt deal with the tyres. This year it is because the car sucks the big one. Not sure that either makes for a happy driver.

Also, just because Bieber has been rubbish so far is good as far as it goes but doesnt help as much as you would hope.

Vettel is the yardstick now, according to popular opinion, so when mark does well against him it reflects positively I guess.

yes, and the fact that the longer that webber stays in front of vettel in the points, the more likely he is to get more favourable treatment from the team as far as strategy goes. i also wouldn't say that the car "sucks the big one". they just don't have as good of a qualifying car, and the race car isn't as much of a dominant force, but they are still a fast car.

Personally Abu Dhabi sux dog balls for a GP. You will pay big money for tickets and accom. There is no social life when in town. So many other GPs in Europe or Asia where you will have amazing fun and most likely way cheaper and also whilst there is still a championship being run

Given how cheap flights are at the moment I was looking at the Texas F1, looks like its popular as most of the hotels are fully booked for the weekend in Austin

Who's been to the singapore GP ?

Very seriously considering going over for this year, anyone got any hints or tips ?

Seems to be one of the more economical GP's to head to, my main problem is I'm time poor with work and uni.

What do people think > ?

I wish this was the case, but whilst that dog Helmut Marko is there V-tool will always get first preference to strategy and upgrades.

      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.

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.
