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 don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
