Roy

Interesting to compare Dan and Jev? But the real point that I am stoked about is Romain has been in teh points the last 7 races ,inc three 3rds. The Singapore DNF is the only hiccup and he was in a strongh position when that happened. He is finishing the year nicely!

I will have to speak with Gary to find out where he gets his promo girls! So that's what it takes for Winterbottom to not sook like a 5yr old that dropped their ice-cream

Makes complete sense. They split strategy to ensure that an RBR car beat Lotus to the win. The way the cookie crumbled it was Vettel that won...and he is the guy needing points to wrap up the WDC. So thinking big picture RBR got the strategy perfect. That is a given....the discussion is whether the strategy hurt Webbers chances of a victory and I think it did hurt his chances of a victory....the challenge was could be beat Romain on teh same strategy? Based on the lack of pace from Lotus on teh hard tyres he was in for a good shot...

Read those articles and you will see that the talk is around the second stop at 25 laps and RBRs desire (sensible thing to do) to cover the Lotus of Romain by splitting the two cars. Webebr himself said that he couldnt cover both of them. If he tried he could have lost out to both

But she has a Scottish accent and is faster in a car than I ever will be. Thats a winning combo in my books. But its that accent that moves her to the top shelf

It wont matter for squat If Disco Dan cant put the thing on the same row or same row +1 as Vettel then it wont matter about his approach to the racing. He has looked very good since Silverstone and RBR state that his test was smack on Vettels pace fuel corrected at Silverstone. So will be interesting to see a guy with a tank full of energy renew the challenge on Vettel Meanshile...watching the post race Sky footage....I think I love Susie Wolff.

Well the kit you have allows you to run a bigger rotor with better wheel clearance. It is lighter than the Advantage caliper. But those things are all bee's d1ck things. The one main reason why your calipers are superior is the titanium pistons work waaay better at keeping the heat from the pad out of the brake fluid. But again, the Advantage kit is pretty damn competent on most track GTRs. Especially if you are going to get stung for $600 for a pair of radial mounts. $800-1000 for the hats and bobbins to work with the V8 Supercar rotor...then lines and pads. Buying $1500 calipers can quickly add up to serious money if you dont have a line on good combination rotors and hats. If you are going to run those calipers I personally would go brab some off the shelf 380x35mm rotors, either aftermarket or off an R35 and then just pay the money for the radial mounts

Needs more silver!

LOL, Its fine that we see things differently but I know how this ends. I name the races where I think Vettel was ruthless and you will defend them...so not going to bother. It dates back waaay before Malaysia 2013. How about it started in Fuji 2007! Vettel did nothing wrong and I didnt dislike him for his error...but I hated the fact that he robbed Webber a shot at Hamilton and the teams first ever win. That would have changed the dynamic of Vettel coming into the team if Webber was already a GP winner like Vettel.

Exactly. There is no denying that Vettel is a dedicated, calculating and very talented guy. If you read back through what James Allen, DC and even Joe Saward have said over the years that the culture of the team is very foccussed on guarding Vettel. For me Malaysia was the first obvious thing that Vettel did publicly that the team couldnt spin away. There are so many seeds that hint at what control Vettel had within the team. Does it change anything? Not really. Webber simply isnt as quick every weekend. If he was he would have bagged 2010 but he had a rather poor final few races (typical of his form eveyr seeason...strong in the middle, hopeless at the start and finish) I hate Vettel because he has only ever been himself publicly for 10 days. His actions in Malaysia and the subsequent week when he came out and simply said "I was quicker and I get paid to win" If he towed that line I would respect him more. But he goes back to his PR cover of not being the arrogant, cut throat prick he is. And the main reason I dont like Vettel...is how he puts his team mate to the sword. Doesnt help that its Webber, but anyone who drives liek Perez on Button is wrong. Vettel pulls moves on Webber that he knows wouldnt fly on other cars as he knows when push comes to shove he has the support of the team and Webber will take avoiding action. Perez does the same on Button and thats the reason I hate Perez. Looking at how Kimi and Romain play....MEGA respect to how Button and Hamo races and how Rosberg and Hamo race....but Perez and Vettel put their team mates to the sword in passing and I dont like how they use the politics to help them get places on the track

If you have a subscription to AutoSport they have a good read on the Japanese GP. Basically RBR did the logical thing and split the strategy to cover Romain. It was all there for Webber to still be able to win...but meant he had to clear cars with low traction out of the slow corners....and in their opinion the best thing about splitting the strategy was putting Mark and Seb on different parts of the track so to avoid issues.

The old Paul Newman flick Winning and the old James Garner flick Grand Prix is actually very, very good

I was VERY Drunk when watching the race so last few laps were a bit sketchy. What was it, a 15 secon lead with 10 laps to go? How much older were his tyres then Vettels? Only 2 or so laps wasnt it? Anyway....thats Webber shot to sh1t for the year...Seb will hand it to him at all other races except maybe Brazil where Webber can sometime pull a result. COME on Romain...now that Kimi is betraying the brotherhood to go play with red cars I want him to gag on C0CK and watch Romain kick on with hopefully a win somewhere.

Looking at your site it suggests that you can get twin scroll T4 housings for the 6758 but isnt available in the drag down box. I am after a punchy turbo for my 2L YB cosworth. Engine runs low compression and runs 26psi at the moment so if I can get something a little more punchy that likes boost I could get a streetable bit of grunt

Was so happy at the prospect of Romain winning...but just couldn't match the pace of RBR

SUCH A THROWN FIGHT

S.TO.K.E.D!

COME ON ROMAIN!

Come on Mark and Romain. Great to see Mark P1 and Romain P2 with Hamo 3rd

Oh go away already Heikki. Nice guy but poor in a Renault. Poor in a McLaren. And Petrov matched-beat him...now he runs round "I was a McLaren driver and dumped but too good to pay for a drive." He would be lucky to get a seat even if he paid. I like Caterham and would rather see them throw their weight behind talented youngsters in the hope that a tp team would place them with funding. McLaren?

How are Gardner/Crompton looking for quali?

Ah, this is back when Stallone wanted to make an F1 movie and Bernie wouldnt let him...so he ended up doing a Days of Thunder in Indycars Complete with Indycar race to the pub after dinner through the streets I had completely forgotten about that stinker

...mmmm Olivia Wilde!

lol, what was that crap film a ways back with C grade acting and kind of hot tart that was once a tart off some part something crap show....stay with me....the take away was some filthy rish middle east fella backed the film and used all his own cars in the filming of it. Only for that black comedian to bin his Fezz during filming... Phew...that was SO CRAP I Watched about 4 mins of it and turned it off!!!!
