IM ALRIGHT WITH THIS BECAUSE IF THE TITLE GOES DOWN TO THE FINAL ROUND... WHICH I WONT... AT LEAST ITS NOT IN A TIMEZONE THAT IS HORRIFIC FOR ME TO HAVE WAKE UP IN

SORRY FOR CAPS... FCUK IT, IM NOT RETYPING IT NOW

DVR mang, you need one.

Sucks for me, doing 7on 7off out of town. Can't stay up to watch races, or cant watch them when I'm on nightshift. Then have to wait till wednesday when I get back home while avoiding facebook etc so one of the F1 pages or one of my friends doesnt ruin it on there. It really is shit hanging out to watch it lol, but really is one of those first world problems....

Couldnt find much on any launch dates. Did find something that said Mclaren were announcing their new title sponser on the 2nd of December but no news on that either. Hopefully no more chrome cars!

Does it even need to be that elaborate? Make a car min weight exclude driver and then when you specify minimum dimensions for the cockpit you include a weight that uses ballast in the form of seat weight, both bum and backrest %) to control driver weight. DONE!

What I would do is have a mandated standard cockpit area in size, weight COG and polar moment of inertia.

This is given to teams, let's call it "The Box"

So no matter who or what you put into "The Box" it has to meet the mandated standards.

Not at all.

I've actually changed my mind on this I was overthinking it, lengthen cockpit area for taller drivers and add ballast to seat to meet minimum driver + seat requirements, then let it rain cheeseburgers. Ric at 170 odd cm weighing 65kg and being told he needs to drop another couple of kilos is a joke.

Lol. Cheezeburger ftw.

Agree. Saw a pic of Dan in shorts with his mates. He is scary thin once you put it in perspective. Has no bearing on the racing, and having great drivers excluded for being physically different is stupid (within reason).

What's the swept volume got to do with it?

Yes I'm fully aware that it's a 3.9 litre running at 1/3 crank speed - nothing new there.

Longevity? all engines die if not treated right. Rotaries can and will last a long time if built and treated correctly.

Sound? Dam - you got me there

There's also the dreadful specific fuel consumption of the rotary, but that doesn't matter to enthusiasts, does it?

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
