are you not contradicting yourself? the fact that a four stroke engine is being turned in excess of 20000rpm is unbelievable, how is that not the pinicle of motorsport? the absolute limit of technological engineering? giving teams this freedom doesnt mean they will all take it. Unreliabel cars dont win championships.

Can't wait to see 20,000+rpm though...

However I agree with Montezemolo, F1 is ment to be the pinnacle of technological and engineering in motorsport, the absolute limit of racing... I think this approach is killing that..

All I'm going to say is that although F1 remains cutting edge and very advanced in a technology and engineering sense... It is also rapidly becoming the pinnacle of gheyness too, with Max and Bernie and some nazi sl*ts all parading on the first ghey and formula 1 mardi gras float!

So we can only imagine what they would've been capable of had they not freezed development

I'm hoping Ferrari's new aero package works for them this weekend....

The Cosworth V8 that Williams used a couple years back pulled 20,000rpm not long after it first ran.

Mostly the engine freeze meant alot of very talented people got sacked. >_<

Speaking of engines..... Bernie is now saying that teams that want to abide by the budget caps (and it's looking more and more like all teams won't have an option) will have engine costs fall outside of the budget caps as well as what we all already knew in regards to driver salaries falling outside the confines of the budget cap.

Yeah well whatever Max & Bernie are smoking they should stop it. The engine proposals they keep coming up with get more & more strange by the week. No they are after something called a universal engine which is to be used across categories.

I have always been a fan of Bernies but I think he has finally lost it.

I want to see all the manufacturers walk out and stick with this years rules, instant multi million dollar saving right there. Have a car that runs under the same rules for 3 years, then change a simple vairable like engines, or use of data acquisition, communication to the pits or to and from the pits.

So many ways to make the racing cheaper without re-writing the rule book

Problem is Bernie and Max think F1 is about them. When they come to the realisation that it's about the sport, cars, teams and everything that is made up of those things they might actually pull their heads out of their assholes and stop trying to destroy the sport....

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
