What a start by Webber. Deserves to win the WDC with that start!

The development series are only running them for one more season aren't they? Figured only those flushed with cash would be upgrading when only good until end of 2013. I did read they were trying to sell them to UAE as a series so they could replace their V8 saloon series in 2014 but not sure if they have had any success

My god that Lotus is anamazing looking car

I know that pain. I have worked in backwards nowhere parts of Indonesia, India, Malaysia..."engineering...taking people to parts of the world nobody else dare"

LOL, yeh more shit that people dont want. I had to buy pallet racking the other week to put all that shit on and still be able to fit the car into the garage space

I am not fussed whether they are running production based engines. I think in reality they would prefer to run production based engines as these days both make great late model all alloy powerhouses. But the respective SVO and Chev engines now have enough development in them its probably a financial thing that they keep them. I am looking forward to car of the future...should mean plenty of cool brake setups, Hollingers etc find their way into club cars

Williams have their own KERS which has now won Le Mans but its not what is used in its F1 cars. It uses the Renault system Also see Homo is having a sook about Vettel being luckier than him as he had a dominant car when he has won his WDCs, where he didnt ?!?!?!? LOL, he had the class of the field car in his first season and second season and only lucked into his only WDCl since which his maturity as a driver hsa goone backwards. He was a fair chance in 2010 with races where the McLaren was as dominanat as RBR and Ferrari at certain tracks. It helps when you dont run into people and lose points. If Alonso or Vettel was in the McLaren in 2010 they would have won the WDC in a McLaren Enjoy Mercedes and racing Force India and STR farkwit!

Another car I will be pining over when at Racepace

They will fit certain 17" rims, but not all. I couldnt get them to clear things like Work XD9s, AVS Model 6s or Gram Light 57s. But they will clear TE37s, LM GT4s, Weds TC05 etc

So who is heading up this weekend? I will be up spectating and having a rather relaxed weekend on the cans

Well the Stone Bros are likely to get a jump on Kelly Racing/Nissan as they are already testing their COTF Ford. So the they know the current cars aero performance and will be able to see how the new underwear fits with a known aero setup. I imagine that is going to help them understand the new chassis quicker then if they went straight to a Merc with AMG engine. I am really excited about next year. I like the variety of the Gold Coast round....i like the racing. SO the new manufacturers just adds to it. I just hate most of the drivers. The Kelly video I posted is the perfect example...the series has produced a bunch of media trained zombies who all sound the same. ie boring as bat sh1t. There are so many things Nissan could be doing right now that would be exciting and help build the brand in the series. But nothing but monotone drivers boring me with chit chat. (and I dont mind Tod Kelly) So to me the only thing they need to do now is let the drivers be themselves and inject some personality into it. Right now i dislike both HRT drivers, both FPR drivers, one of the 888 drivers...both DJR guys. Bring back mad Thomas Mezera, there was a guy I loved baracking for! lol floored genius

Cosworth are killing Honda in Indycar. Thet even tried to get the A/R housing on their Borg Warners changed and still get spanked. And RBR and Caterham who use their system are the only ones to the best of my knowledge that use their own KERS. Even then RBR's Kers is a development of the Renault system

I don't know what I want. I have a new gig that I don't really want so need some retail therapy to try to convince me the job at least serves an end

Keep the GTR and sell the DR30. I know a buyer for it

What, going with an engine manufacturer that would have to staff up with all new people to develop an engine for F1? They will make a good engine, but have no idea about KERS etc...but I cant see an engine making that big a difference to McLaren who will need o make the package work. I really hope someone picks up Cosworth and continues with it as a going concern. he name has far too much history to fade away. Hopefully the stories about the new engines not being use din 2014 get put to bed the next day or three in FIA and F1 discussions and the likes of Cosworth can sign people up for their engines.

Price for the Metropolis Gear bag?

Kind of...car is heading to Europe for their summer and need AC for the drives through the Alps. )

Very sage advice!

Not a bad layout. Makes me wish that the ROC included some identical retro late 70s style F1 cars with manual boxes, and plenty of grunt and to see who can go 40 laps driving the things without missing gears, blowing up boxes, over revving engines etc

LOL, Dane ....that vid is freakishly good for an external mount. This is the best I could get with packing the housing and mic port with hedphone foam to try and insulate it May be a long shot but i hazard a guess that where your camera is mounted is in a good spot and that your cars aero is working better to shield it from airflow vs lil Caterham and its tomb like aero causing loads of turbulence around the camera

Working on my other car, Skyline is primary mode of transport until the other is back on the road so not tempting fate by asking too much from the Skyline at present

231 pages...so much crap talk in the thread yes, but guessing the question has been asked and answered every 5 pages means its been asked and answered over 50 times. ie, Kando dont do any such turbo. Go look at high flows from whoever you fancy for hiflows

Ditto....jump on a plane and come see the race in the flesh and hope to keep the GP here. Channel 10 are a disgrace and I am sure their coverage will continue to be bad entertainment! Nothing wrong with cross promotion and trying to get people to turn on the box, but bad tv is bad tv....you would think it would be easy to cover the F1 with coverage and info on Aus/Nz greats like Brabham, Hulme, and other notable people like Perkins, Shenkin etc . Show the history the sport and Australian contribution to it....and interview the Australians in the pits working for various teams and show the Aussies behind the scenes!

Clutch sold...turbos are all still laying around. Nobody wants Trust gear when they can get Kando for 1/3 the price
