perhaps they didn't consider people to be so lacking in ethics as to exploit them in that fashion

hence demonstrates the wide difference between obeying the law and the 'spirit' of the law (or rules, as the case may be)

if their gaming of the system last weekend gets Nando across the line for a drivers title this one, then the end, rightly or wrongly, will justify the means

and Ferrari will plaster Alonso's face up in every dealership and milk that marketing leverage like a muthabucker...

regardless of who wins, it was a great season

shame kimi and lewis didnt have a touch more luck to add the pressure on vettel and nando in the closing stages of the year

Has been good. Damned good.

I know every driver has things go wrong every season, but it really seems to me Lewis has had far more than his share of mechanical problems/take-downs this year.

By rights he should be right there with Sebvet and Gonzo as a WDC contender in the final race, if not with a bit of a lead even :(

C'est la vie

Well Coca-Cola have been trying to acquire Monster to boost their market share in energy drinks. There have been some talks between Mercedes and Coca-Cola the past 6 months and some that think that Coco-Cola be it with an acquired Monster or other brand may step up with some major branding/funding for Mercedes. Some have suggested it could be one of the reasons for Hamo jumping on board as it gives him a profile and brand to be associated with outside of motorsport

can't find. :(

Here's the torrent, I'm assuming you already have BitTorrent or similar.

It's two gig, but has the race, plus all the pre and post race bs.

What happened to Schuey?

Pretty much circulated going backwards all race with nary a whimper barring his chop on Button. The slippery track should have suited him. Is Mercedes the new Toyota?

They've sucked since Silverstone where the tyre variability dissapeared. The car is far too hard on its rear tyres, just like it has been for the previous 2 years. The fall apart tyres we had at the start of the season actually suited Mercedes because the tyres didn't last for anyone.

But a slippery dry track is very different to a wet track - track temp is still up, as is abrasion, so tyre wear is still there. Perhaps even more so than normal because turning the tyres out of the slow corners on the slippy track will hurt them more than normal. In qualy tyre wear doesn't come into it and Schuey once again hustled the car into a position it had no business being, just like he's done in the wet all season. But in the race, the tyres just got torn up. They were the only ones who had to stop twice. Conserving tyres has never been one of Schuey's strengths either, so it hurt him more than Rosberg.

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
