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?

    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
