Well that is fine, but do you remember how crap Detroit was?

Or the Las Vegas GP that they ran in a car park (I shit you not)

oh do i what. Bumpier than a herpes outbreak. check this footage out in detroit in the wet. I know its only eddie cheever but damn hes got some skills. At around the one minute mark is especially good. cant believe he caught it.

I know they werent ideal but racing on those surfaces added a great element of excitement to the sport. Street tracks will always be more real and ballsier to race on. And damn good fun to watch too.

i know this is never going to happen because bernie is now more interested in the money he gets from the sport than the sport itself but wouldnt you like to see adelaide back on the calender? I know i would..for more than just sentimental reasons. Not 1 person ive ever spoken to had a bad thing to say about the place. F1 loved adelaide and adelaide loved f1...sniff..sniff

Lewis Hamilton secured his first pole position with a demoralising, at least for Alonso, lap time of 1 min 15.707 that will surely give him his biggest chance for his first win in F1...Alonso dropped the ball at the final chicane and weaved across the line in frustration knowing Hamilton had him and there was nothing he could do about it.

Personally i couldnt be happier for Lewis... Hes not just going to win races but championships with them..

lets hope Canada will see the start of that.

great Quali, awesome action and good to see Webbo up in 6th for redbull.

i cant believe the start hes had. I havent seen anything like this since i started watching F1 when i was 7 years old..

truly a supernatural but I think id put him in the shade if i had the chance! :):P

Richard i was thinking of uploading that exact vid a couple of days ago, instead loading up the detroit vid of cheever in the wet..

that turbo hauls major ass though...

those were the good old days..

Hamilton wins! what an unbelievable race. F1 rookie takes his first win, outclasses illustrious teammate and leads the drivers championship. Alonso makes an ass of himself no less than 8 times, Massa and Fisichella blackflagged, Raikkonnen nowhere, 10 second stop and goes galore, botched pit strategies, a super aguri passing the world champ in the final laps for 6th position(!!), the other missing out on points because of a hit and run on an animal on the track (??), and the worst accident i have ever seen anyone walk away from, EVER without so much as even a broken bone...It such a testament to the strength of the modern F1 monocoque. If that were any other F1 era Kubica wouldve been killed instantly.

Contrary to previous reports Kubica did not sustain a broken leg. He will apparantly be released from hospital today.

i cant wait for next week.

Woohoooo go Heidfeld.

have to say the Williams is a surprise. Good to see Super Aguri well and truly kicking Honda's arse :)

HAHA i just noticed that they have changed location for the Japanese race.

Looks like i missed out on an interesting race :) That was a massive accident, good to hear he is ok

why were Fisichella and Massa black flagged??

Edited by Whiplash

fisi and massa exited the pits when the red pit exit light was lit (safety car in the vicinity), kubica was waiting for the lights to go green when both drove around him.

i don't understand why webber didn't pit during that final safety car period as soon as the pit window opened. it cost him championship points. he could easily have finished right near the front.

Woohoooo go Heidfeld.

    • Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.
    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.
