It's a whole lot less than half Dallara!

I was surprised to read how much Ferrari is in that car - it's every single fking thing except the tub, nose cone (even the wings are Ferrari clones) and engine cover. I'm a whole lot less impressed with Haas' results too.

It's not the lack of free to air that has turned me off. Half the time I watch a recorded race anyway cos I don't fancy still being up at 1am and having to work the next day. It's not the Mercedes d

Given the advantages they had by being outside the rules for a long time and then getting all the customer stuff you would expect them to be competitive. Will be interesting to see how sustainable it all is. They don't have sponsors and whilst HAAS has bags of money how much do you want to chuck away to finish 5th.

FORMULA 1 TEAM PAYMENTS FROM 2015

(Figures via autosport.com)

Ferrari — $192 million

Mercedes — $171 million

Red Bull — $144 million

Williams — $87 million

McLaren — $82 million

Force India — $67 million

Renault — $64 million

Toro Rosso — $57 million

Sauber — $54 million

Manor — $47 million

Note 2 of the 4 top teams get paid above their station. Ferrari didn't win any championships but got the most money. Red Bull got substantially more than Williams despite finishing behind them. System is rubbish.

I like the ability to procure components of other teams. Perhaps they lost needs to be pulled back a bit but the approach is right. Maybe its a for the first 3 three years of a new team thing....thrn revert to a shorter list.

Shame tonsee Sauber struggling at the moment with finances. I will be gutted if they go the way of Tyrrell and Lotus as they have done a solid job since moving into F1

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Speed Sensor replacement

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.

      Speed Sensor replacement

      By R33_Guy · Posted

      Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
