Wuh, what? No one has the pace of the Red Bull's. It is going to be boring as fk.

Also why didnt channel 10 show the Can Am during the Melbourne GP. W@nkers.

There were Can AM cars at the Melbourne GP....... or do you mean they aired it while the GP was on?

I'm not sure, I saw it live :)

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

Just watched the race.
Awesome driving by Mark.

Lol at Maldo..

Poor Alonso..

Mercedes, awesome drive.

Vetel... no comment.

Was a difficult week to not hear anything F1 related hahaha.
Literally everywhere I turned.
Morning news, morning drive to work on radio.. afternoon drive home..
Saw it on tv at midday today at the gym even.. sigh.

Will probably buy a multi 21 shit for next year if a better quote doesn't come up.
Or buy one for quali and then race day.

Wuh, what? No one has the pace of the Red Bull's. It is going to be boring as fk.

well in one of the two races anyway... when the lead Ferrari was out of the race after the first lap, the Mercedes were keeping pace until they started runing out of fuel, and even McLaren were basically keeping up until they hit trouble of their own making again. And that was after the first race that Kimi ran away with, Force India were fast and Ferrari finished second. Bit premature to say no-one has the pace of RBR and its going to be boring as fk!

besides, if you listen to the drivers, you're not seeing anyones' pace in the race. They're all saying they're driving around nursing tyres at about 80%.

I disagree. He just genuinely doesn't give a shit. He wants to race and that's it

This Pretty much. Why he is so much happier at Lotus (and its showing in his driving at the moment)

Its not all about raw pace. Tyre life is playing a bit part this year. Red Bull are one of the worse off teams with tyre wear and it may cause them to do 1 more pit-stop then some other teams. And as said, I would hardly say their pace is far and above anyone elses. Mclaren wont take long to bounch back, the Ferrari is starting much quicker then last year, Lotus have improved and Force India have shown they can mix it at the front given the right circumstances. IMO its going to be a good year

Seems to be. I read an article not that long back that suggested RBR are well ahead of the other teams (other than Ferrari) and its mostly in part due to Horner who it seems is quite the wheeler dealer. He was the only team manager F1 fella to attend Bernie's wedding and talk is he was the mole in FOTA who used to sing to Bernie. All of which has helped RBR win favorable terms with FOM

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
