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

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

It should be pointed out that Joe Saward is a pharken idiot who's opinion is not worth a cold dog turd.

I bought the G27 the day that F1 2010 was released for PC, played it about 4hrs that Friday night then put it back in the box never to be touched again. Was planning on selling it but may need to hold out until F1 2013 Classic Edition is released...

And Sainz Jnr was only 0.044s slower than Dan in the STR on his first ever drive in an F1 car. That's faster than Dan was in his first drive of the RBR, with 2yrs F1 experience under his belt...

Track condition, temps etc will have something to do with it. Hard to say how much however. But seen as they were on different days I don't know if it will be quite as bad as it looks on paper.

Must be hard driving 2 different cars in the same day. Wasn't entirely shocked that he was slower in the Red Bull considering it wouldnt be set up for him or even designed with him in mind. So yeah hard to really say, hopefully its not a cross against Dan's name

World Champions stand. Was there this year, up the back this time. Was right in the front row this year which was alright but everyone walked past all the F$&@#$@# time which meant you had to move your legs all the time

Just wonder if the dates are locked in now that Melbourne isn't round 1 anymore. I'd like to look into accom soon but cant really do so till the date is set in stone

Pretty sure no setup changes were allowed on the car on the day. Not sure what they might have changed overnight....

Werent the established drivers forced to run the new tyres with no setup changes...vs the rookies allowed to test development parts and change setups? Many variables for the relative pace....but all the same Sainz was impressive first time out

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.

      The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.

      Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.

      I know on some cars it's explicitly endorsed in the service manual but a lot of them it isn't which is what gives me pause. I know a lot of cars also have you jack up the car by the radiator core support which is a lot easier to get to than some crazy deep section of the front subframe. I'm just reluctant to find out if any of that is really safe to do if not listed in the service manual. The FK8 has even the R-chassis beat in this regard, the front subframe jack point is almost fully behind the front tires and is surprisingly recessed into the car.

      I've been doing it for longer then I can remember and on pretty much every car I've owned without any issues.  Jack on a tow point (or under the rear diff), jack stands under control arms/other beefy suspension component is my go to if I'm not using the quick jack.
