  1. It IS the same car...I saw 307awkw with my own eyes...16psi and conserative tune and that was b4 the CES dumps were put on...it would pull 340awkw at 20psi no probs
  2. dude chill its been one day....GTR's can be on the market for months b4 a sale
  3. Next year its going back to first 30 cars home get points....which is nearlly the whole field....the teams who regularly finished say 16th to 25th kicked up a stink saying they deserve to get some sort of points for their efforts and sponsors (I dont really agree...Id rather see top 10 or 15 cars only getting points)
  4. Yeah its good to watch...he is a great guy to...unlike some
  5. We have 90% of our rims from the last 3 seasons....but in Fujitsu we only do 7 rounds with less laps so they last longer.... I guess 18's would bring the price of tyres up to, as it is the 17's are bloody dear cause of being made in Nagoya and being a special process to make them.....depending on compound I couldnt see the 18's making a huge difference in racing anyway...the point discussed here is overtaking and if everything stayed the same exept the rims size I couldnt see much difference Anyway its all irrelevant at least until 2012 when the control tyre contract comes up again We are spending 100k on new engines, 30k on rebuilds after every 2500 klms, 11k on 1 gerabox etc etc so any cost cutting helps us....maybe 888 or HRT wouldnt care but we do.
  6. Yeah ther are some great 32's out there including this one. Many peeps are scared off for some right and wrong reasons but everycar should be taken on its merit. 1:10 at wakefield is great on stock turbs...this is a fantastic base for a great track car
  7. We are stuck with 17's and that wont change...at least in the next 3 years anyway. No one wants to spent upward of a 1000 bucks a rim to go to 18's...especially the big teams who have many sets. The idea of soft compound tyres like in Champ car is growing and that may mix things up a bit making the tyre compulsory for one stint of the race but pretty much everyone will work out the best stratagy and all do the same thing unless they are having a gamble cause they are way back. The comp. fuel/tyre stops was supposed to mix it up but all it has done is make us do pit stops for the hell of it and not really mixed it up at all ...its a tough question 'how do we get passing' and hard to get a definitive answer. As a team like most teams we dont put it as a top priority cause passing causes damage and costs...but I guess to keep the crowds coming we need passing to keep the interest up. Many people bag the shit out of guys like Morris but at least he will have a go and yeah he crashes sometimes, but at least that gets people talking
  8. The spending will never stop regardless of how many control parts are introduced...if 888 racing have 8 mill a season to spend they will spend it regardless.....things will never be even and the rich teams will always spend more and generally win everything...thats motorsport The aero thing is partiallly valid but most of the time the passing doesnt occur because the tyres are gone after about half race distance and the driver is just happen to keep the thing on the road, especially the top ten guys...better to stay in say 7th and get the points rather than to have a lunge and screw it up and get nothing....look at tander in tassie
  9. What happened to the T517z turbo's on this????....it made 307awkw at 16 psi on Mercury's dyno
  10. This car better be coming up for Jambo this year
  11. The only reason im going is to see Mark run...hope the rain clears up at least by saturday...whats it making now Mark??? 1000awhp..crazy Good to see you on top of the heap in HPI mag to...well done...gives those southern bastards something to think about Edit ...here is hoping for a 8.272 pass or better:)
  12. Not really a good indication...if the powers to be let us lighten the cars(we add balast to get them to minimum weight) and gave us decent tyre regs and let us go sequential and some other goodies the laps times would really improve to what they could do....but its actually going the other way in the name of "more affordable racing" with more and more control parts being compusory On another note we would love to race the R35 in the GT series here in Oz in 09 but thanks to the GT3 rules the Nissan is NOT eligible
  13. It looks like Tomas will get that job
  14. Yeah 888 are not bad...but like any team there are a fair share of wankers in there....and the big boss aint real easy to talk to.....Jimmy and Ross Stone are still the best guys in the game to talk to
  15. Yep Dumbrell paid...sorry got that seat
  16. Mezera has a new job next year...and its not driving a car
  17. And now Garth gets Todd Kellys ride for 08, Todd goes to Jack Daniels...talk about re shuffling...nice one Tom ya dickhead
  18. I was being sarcastic dumb shit Brawn has an unequaled name for excellence and total professionalism with his work...ask Ferrari I was serious about Todt though...This could bring about the decline of the reds
  19. Honda + CASH = Brawn on board. Ross wont give a sht about how much he can improve that shtbox Honda...he just will love watching his bank account...ching ching...mind you it wouldnt be real hard to improve on Honda's 07 effort Todt was the smart little general (aka Napaleon) of the reds....there is a big chance of Ferrari slipping back into the bad ol days now
  20. ^^^^^ not sure if that one will happen but I see your logic (and Berger would not knock anything back if he could make a buck out of it)
  21. ^^^^ sorry guys my browser had a spasm and 6 posted for some bloody reason This Renault thing apparently started to come out in the McLaren investigation....its amazing how one thing leads to another Im no Renault fan but 100+ mill will kill them and F1 cant afford to lose this team...Ghosn will pull the pin big time...he is shaky on spending this sort of coin anyway Anyway the 6th will be very intersting Also this evidence relates to the end of last season so will Alonso be stripped of world champoinship??? F1 needs to get back to racing on the track and leave all this hollywood crap for the soapies
