I was in the Brabham stand too and thought it was Bottas going off...though it was Pastor who finally beached it.

In other news after looking at the Mazda stand I want an RX7 SP rather badly. Would look sick next to my Sierra :)

..and on other other news...Webber had no KERS for the first half of the race. So sorry Mark for abusing you from the stands for not being able to get the job done on Button

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

Nico Rosberg has revealed that it was an electrical problem that caused his W04 to stop during Sunday's Australian GP.

Australian GP: Webber hit by telemetry, KERS issues

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner revealed that the issues were caused by the McLaren-supplied standard ECU.

"Mark's problems were hugely frustrating as it was an ECU issue that is supplied by a third party - I will let you guess who that is," he said.

"So we lost all telemetry on the formation lap and then you cannot do the preparation you need to for the start, and then he is in the blind for the start.

"That ECU issue shut the KERS down as well. By the time we had reset the whole system, obviously he had lost the start and lost ground.

"It is something they need to get on top of as there have been a lot of issues in testing.

"It was nothing to do with Mark today."

I think you will find an amazing number of drivers who win in Aus go on to win the WDC. From there the constructor that wins in Aus normally goes on to seal the deal

Stoked Kimi got up and made it easy. Made flying my Lotus colours today a lot easier. Shame that Webber, Dan and Romain all struggled. :(

60% was the figure I heard.

But one of the teams also said that the Aus GP wasn't a good representative of the tracks they have to deal with for the rest of the year.

Closest I got to fame was walking in to the Park one day with Monisha Kaltenborn, team principal for Sauber. (Yes I had to google that name!) Oh, and I thought I saw Takuma Sato in a Ferrari on Thursday. Who did everyone bump into over the weekend?

I had brabham seats all weekend and I gotta say the lotus was looking in great shape the entire time.

it seemed to me like Pasta cooked the brakes and over shot T1 nearly every lap.... retard.

it would also seem that hamilton may have made the right move in going to merc as well.

Amazing week, finally home and I think I'll download the TV coverage to watch the race again. Of all the races for Kimi to win, I was at one :)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
