Romain will continue to be a gun!

Re Kimi...from Autosport.comon Kimi in Nascar

But the race wasn't without its dramas. As anyone who heard Kimi's Abu Dhabi radio chat is aware, he knows what he's doing - even if that means failing to wear the correct protective gear...

"When he first came here I looked at his shoes and I told him, 'I don't think you'll be able to run those shoes over here' and he's like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah that's what I always race with', so he didn't want to put the heat shields on. The floorboards get exceptionally hot in NASCAR vehicles, maybe 125-130 degrees.

"But he didn't want to put his booties on as we call them and we are a bit into the race and he comes on the radio and says, 'My feet are getting very hot! Never mind, I will put them out the window!'

"I thought that was the funniest thing I ever heard on the pitbox. And that was the only time he brought it up in the whole race."

I'm looking forward to seeing what is is like. Most of the drivers are ex f1. They still have gearboxes and make noise! Have u watched the video on Formula e website. Old mate who's f**ked ever hot bitch on the planet has bought a team, presumably to lure more bitches in with environmental talk

    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
