Small thing, but I don't think cryo increases strength (technically). It works by improving the weak points by ensuring more uniform grain structures. Well at least that was my memory of it from 10yrs ago when I once read about it

Well, when it come to the crunch I think I am truly sick of travelling with work so unless its Belgium, Switzerland or Ireland I am not going to bother. So car has been stranded in Sydney, should be getting it back in the next week or so. In the meantime I have kept myself sane without her by planning this trip to Germany-Belgium with a few friends. And for two days this was my track car at Spa

16th Niv too. Late enough in the year that I can probably plan a trip after building up some more holidays

So you can take it flat but its actually slower due to a bit of mid corner understeer. But at least I can die saying I have taken Eau Rouge flat

Personally Abu Dhabi sux dog balls for a GP. You will pay big money for tickets and accom. There is no social life when in town. So many other GPs in Europe or Asia where you will have amazing fun and most likely way cheaper and also whilst there is still a championship being run

I wish it was mine but Euro track days are where you realise that we rarely get special cars at the track And for two days this was my track car at Spa

Really hope MS makes one of his blinder starts and holds up the Macs and we get a good race. If the Macs xlear out and MS just holds up the mid paxk then that will be a shame . I want a repeat of Monza where the old dog schools Hamfist

Out of interest, can somebody explain why some curves are all wavey and all over the place like that? Is it the resolution/scaling?

St George Tyres has them even cheaper then that @ $215 / tyre. Not sure if there is two compounds available but some refer to UTQG of 100, some 200

I can get them for $1200 from OS, so looking at that . The wear is encouraging, can you gauge their outright pace against other tyres you run or similar modded cars? Are they quicker then RE55s? Equiv to AO50s? I read they are quicker then R888s

So Tuggah isnt far away now. No news on who is actually running from SAU? Seems only the Tassie lads are running

Oh christ. Do you know I forgot to put my tips in.

What would have been real interesting is an old head in the Williams. I cant help but wonder if Rubens would have got a great result for the team yesterday. A top 4 finish. I dont think Rubens will always be the better bet, but in the more chaotic races where you just have to keep punting and watch those fall off the track, Rubens has always been able to come through, especially in the lowly Honda days. But I think Senna and Pastor are solid enough that if they are really any good they will raise to the occasion. Feelk sprry for Pastor yesterday but it was a 1st year Rookie mistake... he better not make too many more of them in 2012. Not if the Williams is as quick as it looks

And brilliant commentators who make you hate going to toilet/to eat etc. Anything that makes you leave the couch! If Perez keeps driving like he did today! Massa could easily be pushed aside mid season and Sauber grab some other rookie or blood

Don't go posting this stuff up on SAU. The real good gear you need to keep quiet and to yourself I did an exhaust with a friend years ago when I lived in Sydney and had after hours work to my old employers factory, tools etc. Their gear is top notch and I was planning on using two of their real mufflers in a twin system. What I need to find is a centre muffler that has a 4" inlet and twin 2.5" outlet

I have had problems in my life. But next weekend, having to get up at 6am in Belgium to watch the Malaysian GP, just in time to walk out the door of the Hotel to cut laps at Spa in the Caterham? Thats not a problem I mind having. Caterham seem a bit quicker and close to the tail enders, but they are really in limbo. Nowhere near STR/Sauber/Williams but well ahead of the Marussia/HRT. Disappointing that their cars are still unreliable

Gutted for Williams

Now we get to see how much pace Kimi and that Lotus have And Webber is on the faster soft tyre....can he win it from here

This is going to be very interesting

Come on Mark, You need to get the job done on Rosberg. GREAT race so far

Suck SHIT Hulkenburg. You cant bash into people in an F1 car. Dan back on track but Romain got the cop from that hack Williams driver :domokun AND MARK IF FLYING!!! Come on Old Son!!!!

Fark. Romain gone. Webber gone. Dan gone. I am off to the pub

How awesome is it to have a character like Disco Dan flying the Aussie flag? Always smiling and joking around
