Mark Webber's Williams years provided a favourite anecdote about him, which says a lot about his determination, sense of justice and humour. Like all top Aussie sportsmen, Webber is not immune to a f

Barbham in the sun was nice. With a few coldies.

Simon, ear plugs are free at the the info booths along with sunscreen and maps and shit.

Car wise, caterham looks like a dog, mclaren are geared different and were using a lower gear from t1. Ferrari seem to run some funny gearbox stuff, because downshifts were very different to other cars. Cheered to see homo in the wall!

Mercedes v8 supercars sound amazing no matter what they are doing.

F1 cars are sensational. Hoping my photos turn out. World champions stand is a winner. Be better sitting at the back with no afternoon sun but. Happy days apart from sunburn.

Keen for qualifying. Lotus or red bull will take the race I think :)

Lewis Hamilton's off during the second free practice session for the Australian Grand Prix was caused by splitter damage.


The Mercedes driver ploughed into the gravel at Turn 6 in the closing stages of the 90-minute session after losing front-end downforce.


"I had separation of the front splitter, so it was pushed right up underneath and touching the underneath of the chassis," said Hamilton.


"I lost a lot of front end. I went into Turn 6, turned in and nothing really happened, I just went straight on.


"I was complaining of shed-loads of understeer as I was beginning my long run. I came in and asked for three holes in the front wing, which is quite a lot.


"As they did that, they changed tyres and I went back out. I was braking, turned in and it just didn't turn.


"I thought to myself, 'what an idiot', but when I got back they explained to me that the front of the bib underneath the chassis was broken."


Hamilton admitted that the damage might have been caused when he took a bite of the gravel earlier in the session.


But he was relieved that there was no more significant damage to the car.


"Potentially, it was when I went wide," he said when asked about the cause of the damage.


"Thankfully, nothing was really damaged [in the off]. It's an easy fix."

      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)

      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 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.
