Maybe they should have kept the dodgy Pirelli compounds for this and refuelling ... Exciting race my ass

The tyres haven't changed yet - they're aiming for Canada or British GP. Its just that track doesn't have any real long/high load corners to f**k the tyres in the space of a few laps. And you can drive as slow as you want, just about, without fear of being passed by everyone. I thought all the slow corners might hurt Mercedes rear tyres under power, but that's not their problem apparently.

Anyone who has ever watched Monaco before knows what to expect in terms of the racing. Absolutely no sense complaining about that.

I don't agree Perez was in the wrong in any of those moves - certainly not the one where Kimi ran him into the armco before the corner!

And he was more than fully up alongside Alonso and made the turn-in to the corner no problem whatsover. When someone has you up the inside like that and there's no room to fight it - sorry, you've lost the position. Even if you are Alonso and even if you are in a Ferrari.

Just when you thought that the tyres were the worst thing in F1 along comes a safety car period that just will not end despite Massa's car being cleared ages ago.

they needed to use microscopes and tweezers to collect every sliver of shattered carbon-fibre

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
