bah, that was just a gentle flop over after bouncing off the tyres. With modern barriers that wouldn't be an issue. Or you could move the wall back. But they'd obviously have more tarmac instead of the gravel trap these days too.

Well, they haven't got an agreement with Renault to supply unbranded engines yet... I imagine Renault would only go ahead with it if they are extremely confident their works PU will be clearly better. Renault engaged Illien at the end of 2014 to help develop their engine. I've read that Renault decided to pursue their own development path rather than use Illien's input...

Have RBR pilfered an ERS guru from another team or something? Otherwise they're probably on a hiding to nothing here.

Building engines probably isn't Renault's problem, it's the associated ERS and "Power Unit" rubbish that teams struggle with.

If the regulations were changed to allow more conventional type engines, fans would enjoy it more and the complexity of design and fabrication would be a lot lower therefore making the units cheaper.

No brainer really.

Talk is the single cylinder prototype yielded improvements. But as RBR were the ones that paid/introduced Illien they are disputing it is their IP and want to own it. I understand that is largely why Renault are kicking on with their own developments and it seems RBR will use the Renault motor as the basis with the Illien tweaks

Also, the talk is its the atual engine and turbo that is weak with the Renault and the energy recovery majic works well

I wonder if Louise can turn the switch back on next year or whether he will go to sleep now he has 3 x WDCs. Mercedes will have us believe development tweaks have moved the car in Rosbergs favour but surely Louise spending too much time in hotel rooms with C-grade rappers and F grade groupies has more to do with it

I wouldn't be surprised if Hamilton has someone employed to teach him how to act to be liked... The way he answers questions now, initially it's what made me stop hating him as he seemed more humble, but these days it's like he's reading straight from a script..

    • My son saw this Porsche 904 in Yodoyabashi in Osaka, not sure if it's the plastic or fibreglass version 767605763.559358.mp4
    • I agree re not trusting it as it makes mistakes however can do hours of research for you at times by simply asking a question
    • The I've done a lot of research and feel like I'm becoming a nut and washer expert. The washer in question doesn’t look very conical—it’s almost flat, but one side has a chamfer. The guide's picture shows the convex side (chamfered side) facing the nut, but the text says the chamfer should face the pulley, which is confusing. If I follow the picture, the chamfer faces the nut, but the instructions say the opposite. When I place the washer on a flat surface, one side looks flatter—maybe that's the concave side—so I would expect the chamfer to be on that side. But it isn’t, which adds to the confusion. The term chamfer is also throwing me off. I always thought the concave side should face the pulley, and the convex side (with the chamfer) should face the nut or bolt head. But Nissan’s instructions say the chamfer should face the pulley, which seems backward. I know I’m probably overthinking it, but I want to be sure I’m doing it right. Also, I’ve seen some people replace the nut and stud with a bolt, but I assume that’s not a good idea, since it might not keep proper tension on the tensioner. Lastly, just to be 100% sure: the pressure washer should face the pulley, then the conical washer? That feels strange, since usually the pressure washer goes first, facing the bolt or nut.
    • I checked, i dont think it was the indicator stalk. The problem just magically fixed itself though. 
    • H1 is not the Humvee, but is the most road based version. Lachlan (HankScorpio) on here has a proper Humvee. He imported it a few years back.
