I am pumped. Dan has been called up to test the RBR at Silverstone. Lets hope he can seal the deal and we see another Aussie in a top seat next year

Joe Saward seems to think its the wrong choice fro RBR and they should be looking at JEV.

Also interesting to see Coughlan has left Wiliams and Pat Symonds has signed up. SO many changes cant be good for Williams but hopefully Symonds can convince Maldanado to bin it and get Bottas in a good spot after a safety car

Anyone keen for the new F1 game to come out? Thought I'd bring it up in the Formula 1 thread because I think its the most likely place to find people who buy/play F1 games ;)

maybe, so long as it was a dedicated computer game not an awful xbox/ ps port

last F1 game I bought was Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 4

good to hear Disco D. has been given an opportunity as I think he has deserved it so far. Whether RBR see him in the seat next season will be another story.

I'll more than likely buy the new F1 game for PS3 (have bought the last 2 years) but planning to get a decent cockpit setup as well...Playing with the controller isn't much chop

by the GT steering wheel then!

I have the driving force GT Pro. Its pretty good for F1 actually. I think the G27 would be a little wasted (but still good) on F1 games. At the moment I dont have my wheel setup since I moved house and went back to controller. But I cant drive the cars more then 3 laps without crashing lol.

Disco Dan had his test with STR and RBR yesterday clocking 1st and 3rd fastest times with one small off.

The times look pretty good compared to this years race times so a few eyes will be on SebVet today to see how his times look by comparison.

Looks the goods, wonder how much cheaper Kimi he would be....

If I pull the trigger on a cockpit I'd go all out and get the G27

I love my g27 but it's old tech now. The pick of the new units is the Thrustmaster t500. Feeling extra rich add the F1 wheel .

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
