Real men!

Guessing 1937? NFI where.

Was tempted to say real men like the unfortunately named Englishman who drive for Mercedes in 1939. But I wont because that would be wrong as he ended up dead at the Belgian GP that year.

Look up 1967 Formula 1 German Grand Prix (2 of 4) on youtube - by thash1127. Fast forward to 0.59 and watch the next 5 sec. As they round the second right hander, you can recognise the rise just behind the 2 cars in the photo above. I'm convinced it's Brunnchen at the Nurburgring (recognised it from my hundreds of hours driving the 1967 track in GPL) :whistling:

Formula 1 will award double points for its final round from the 2014 season in an effort to keep championship battles open longer.

The move was agreed by the F1 Strategy Group and the Formula One Commission at a meeting in Paris on Monday.

Permanent driver numbers will become a reality from the 2014 Formula 1 world championship, the FIA has confirmed.

While #1 will be reserved for the current world champion - should he choose to use it - every other driver will be asked to choose their race number, between #2 and #99.

A budget cap will be introduced in Formula 1 from the start of 2015.

The move was agreed at a meeting of the F1 Strategy Group and the F1 Commission in Paris today.

A working group will be established to finalise the regulations governing the cost-cap regulations.

This group, which will include representatives of the FIA and of the commercial rights holder, as well as F1 team members, will be tasked to finalise these regulations by the end of June 2014.

It is not clear how the budget cap will be structured, although previous proposals have included exemptions for marketing and driver wages.

It's the 38 German GP and Dick Seaman actually won it..

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
