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...

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
