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

A rounded off nose would have made that car. Like the colour scheme, the rest looks okay the ferrari style step nose not so much. heres to redbull changing to secret bits before melbourne..

And when racing the same cars on same piece of track and traffic...Dan does one over on Jev

on much newer, softer compound tyres...

would have been something wrong if he couldn't pass him in those circumstances.

HUH? Jesus...its pretty straight forward. They started 18 and 19. No safety car or major number of cars dropping out and Dan beat him by a few places and to 10th and 1 point

The fact that Dan went longer on his first set of tyres and had more life in his tyres at the end of the race is a credit to him..its not like he got a free set of tyres levitated onto his car for no time penalty of being in the pits!!!

Jesus! :P "the same piece of track" made me think you were talking about the pass...

Vergne had a slow puncture in the last stint as well, so can't really say it was a straight up head-to-head race. And it was two places, not a few. And guess who's stil got more points :P

Daniel Ricciardo Hard (16) Medium (17) Medium (11)

Jean-Eric Vergne Medium (10) Medium (14) Hard (20)

So, slow leak it wasnt bad enough to pit him despite the claim that it was from the start the last session. He did 20 laps on them. So Dans strategy if he had lived with him for the first two stints was always going to help with using the faster tyre at the end on low tank

Also, if you look at the pace of Jev's 3rd stint its basically the same as hist first stint (like many others) vs Dan who obviously had a load more pace on the newer tyres.

Has not always been the case between them but Dan definitely had the better race pace

yep, STR split their strategies and Dans worked out better. Seems to me it's always better to finish on the softer tyre if you are going to be in the pack though. Finishing with a long stint on primes is just asking to be passed by people finishing on fresh options.

Yeh, the two medium stints up front seemed odd. Perhaps they were banking on a safety car to catch him up doing the long stint last. Keeping a casual eye on their respective pace Dans opening stint on hards was equal to Jev on the softs so doesnt appear the STR had the pace to clear cars early on.

Estaban seemed to finally show something this race. Lets hope he can kick on and consolidate as he has lacked even those moments of some promise.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
