That's because they didn't show him on airtime at all for whatever reason, had a reasonable race by the looks of it!

Reasonable race overall, lots of stuff ups still with penalties and pit issues.

Also interesting to see the RBR team with a clear issue with the front nose cone.

No-one seriously hurt I trust.

Glad the fire didn't start during the race.

Someone at the celebratory dinner has got to say, "Pass da pasta Pastor"

From best previous performance of 8th > 1st now is great news & great driving.

Williams working to determine cause of fire, FIA says 31 people treated in total

It is so far confirmed only nine members were from F1 teams but other team personnel were understood to be involved.

Caterham said four of its members had been taken to the medical centre for examination, while another Force India mechanic had also suffered from smoke inhalation and was under observation.

Formula 1's ruling body, the FIA, said a total of 31 people were seen by medical staff from the circuit. Seven had been transferred to local hospitals.

no one seriously hurt that we know of terry.

nice to see people form other teams helping them.

PS Pic 4:- Those red hoses need reinforcement in the walls, since they kink badly

Aren't those lay flat hoses? THey store flat on a reel (take up less space) and only fill out when they've got high pressure in them. If so, those kinks will do nothing to stem the flow. The hose is flexible enough to allow the water through, even with the kinks in them. The amount of water they flow is overkill anyway (if you have good pressure) so the small reduction in flow won't make a big difference to their firefighting needs.

Thanks, I'll accept that; but the same hose in Pic 3 seems to be emitting better flow (notwithstanding that the pressure + the nozzle position are the same).

Overkill? In this instance, you're probably right. Ta.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
