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.

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
