Renault has an impact on every championship. Its hard for one of the manufacturers at the pointy end of the field not to have an impact on the championship. If their car is fast they have an impact, if their car is unreliable that has an impact. That's as it should be.

WHat shouldn't happen, and what I can't recall happening ever before is half the top ten getting wiped out in turn 1 due to one guy's ineptitude. Has nothing to do with other teams reliability issues.

Saying Vettel may have finished second anyway is a massive leap - if you actually read what your disagreeing with yopu'd know he failled to make the top10 in qualy, and his only podium in the previous 6 races came in the wet. RBR didn't have pace at that time of the season, particularly not at Spa. The cars with straightline speed did - Williams, Sauber, Force India, Ferrari, McLaren... Even Lotus were faster than Red Bull there. Vettel was going to at least have a very tough time making up those positions. In fact with their reknowned lack of top end speed, he'd have been lucky to pass anyone at Spa! Postulate on what might have happened as much as you like, the fact is Vettel's main rivals got taken out and Vettel was gifted a bunch of points while his rivals were deprived a chance of scoring any. That's what happened. Its sad that that incident looks like costing Alonso the championship. Vettel will deserve this one about as much as Hamilton deserved his. :P

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      My BMW 335i

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
