front wing failure

going to be a tough season ahead i think

LOL...It shattered well before Turn 1 and left Hamilton a helpless passenger, in much the same way as Fernando Alonso's wing broke in Malaysia last year.

Still wisj I was there drinking cans in the sun...or under the clouds :)

There doesn't seem to be any Pirelli branding on the tyres that the cars are using on track, I wonder if the teams wanted that so that other teams didn't know what tyres they were running and therefore being harder to compare like for like, or if Pirelli didn't want their name to be visible if there was a failure.

Sounds like F1 from the 80s

I like the 80s

Yep!

There's a bloke in Sydney who owns two old Ferrari turbo f1 cars that he brings out to the irace days, the new turbo Ferrari sounds very much the same as his cars.

pretty dull...

First few laps were more installation laps, you can tell he's not flogging it

I'm wondering what the Caterham nose would look like if it was JUST the dildo front end all the way, might look OK. To hard to tell but. Still want to see the Lotus in the flesh, at the moment I like it one minute, hate it the next, strange design

If i didn't already know and had to guess based on the sound, i'd say the new engines were inline 4's rather than V6's

still, i suppose it'll be easier to hear what anyone in the pit lane is saying when they cross to them during thr race...

    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
