Seems like Will Power did a good job from the highlights I saw this morning, although the move that Nelson Piquet Jnr put on him to take the lead in the 2nd race was pretty awesome.

Look forward to watching the next one in Germany (I think?).

i must say i can't stand nelson Jnr, i dunno why he just looks like a chubby little spoilt rich boy. I can't deny he seemed to be the class of the field though by far. I watched the first race at the pub but we got booted out at midnight so i missed the second one. did anyone tape it?

This series is so cool.

They have a 30HP "boost" button that they can use upto 8 times a race. So straight out of PS2. Brands Hatch probably isnt the best track to show the benifits of a boost button but the concept for increasing overtaking opportunities is brilliant.

Already looking forwards to the next race.

I really like how its all focused on nations rather than individual drivers however it still lacks the excitement of F1.

Over time though im sure it will pickup, can't wait for the EC race coming up ;)

I watched the coverage on channel 10 and it was great to see something different, and those guys are definately hungry to make an impressions....its a refreshing change from F1, partly becuase there were plenty of cars on the grid ;)

But Aus were dead lucky to come second.....France, GB and NZ were definately faster but FR and GB had engine troubles and had to drop out. NZ were unlucky, couldn't start the warm up lap and had to start from pit lane, but still ended up fourth. Also great drives from Malaysia and the Netherlands.

I didn't catch the full coverage (so perhaps this may have already been explained), but what's the go with lapped cars?

I could have swore the Pakistan car was 3 laps down towards the end of the race, yet he was swerving all over the track to defend his position from the car behind which was trying to lap him. I'm sure this went on for a good 5 laps...

Surely he's supposed to get out of the way???

yeah amazing how those guys raced, esp since it really made it very difficult for NZ and whoever they were racing (mexico maybe?)

they should have been given blue flags for sure but I guess that over enthusiasm is a great part of racing like this, also British F3....makes for good racing :)

Hehe... Malaysia and Netherlands had good drives because they had ex-F1 drivers... lol! Yoong and Jos.

Piquet Jnr was a class of his own. No wonder Williams is keen on having him onboard.

I'm really keen to go!

didnt make it to the F1 this year and Indy's not looking good either, so I'm very much wanting to make it to this.

my best friend went to Brands Hatch, said it was the best race he's ever been to..

He should NOT be given the drive.

Its a farce. But it seems he's not the only Son of a World Champion being given a drive simply because his dad runs the team. Niki Lauda's son doesnt seem to be doing much better for Austria.

But if Will Power doesn't drive for the rest of the season then I hope no-one sponsors these knob jockies until they decide to take it seriously.

I dont like C Jones or his father! both tossers... but thast my opinion :)

I think after the first sprint race they should of swapped over to Wil Power, unless they were having set up issues where it wasnt Cj's fault but i doubt that!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
