I reckon McLaren and Ferrari will probably have the most work to do in winter testing if they are to be competitive from the outset in March. But then again, they are the best because they have the best teams.

ron looks like he's puttig the hard word on Vijay and trying to get one of his drivers into next years force india.

god... if they boot Fisichella out and get Paffett in there it truely will be the best F1 moment of the year.

I'm speechless.... GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!! IT IS SOOOO OUT OF PROPORTION!

THAT IS NOT AN F1 CAR, THAT IS A F*CKING TRAVESTY!!!!

Front wing 10% too big, rear wing 30% too small!!!!!!!!

without over dramatising it at all, i think i want to acctually cry

Good luck with all the typical first turn idiocy in 09 with wings that massive.

Also no more fuji 08 massa styled punting people off the road, which was always good for a laugh

it's not like the current cars are that good looking with the shark fin and OTT winglets.

if the racing is good then that's what matters.

if this doesn't work then Bernie should look into hosing tracks down randomly thru the race skidpan style to keep the racing interesting.

They will look different to that by melb next year, but +2 i almost want to cry..

Its probably just the body being tiny, but it looks as if the track has been decreased too!?

Its very 'A1 like' if you ask me. I really enjoyed how technically advanced 08 cars had become in the aerodynamics/downforce department. Why does it feel like some old dickhead and a bunch of never-were-race-driver people are making such drastic changes to f1.

They are going on about cost cutting.. Well how about the hundreds of millions spent on this years aero that is now getting scrapped!

It would have been much better to leave the cars as is, add full slicks and a boost button that gives another 1000rpm for 1 lap or something. That would make them probably 2sec a lap faster than current.

One of the major reasons overtaking and exciting racing has been rare lately is because they all use the same tyres. It was so much more mixed up and fun to watch when michelin was in there too

I want f1 to be the fastest that human engineering and technology can make it.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
