Wwbbers a chance? Im feeling both red boys b4 him

It is dubious whether he has KERS for the race so he will be swamped on the start and end up compromised by track position for his race. Same as the start in Monaco, despite getting it away pretty well for a change, he was overrun.

Last year RBR made sure they slotted Capt'n Chin in behind SV by not pitting him when he had a 20 second lead and should have raced LH for the top step of the podium with fresh tyres. SV will get the better of the strategy from the pitwall especially if it rains (and rightly so this year anyway).

BBC commentators were saying during qually that Red Bull kers system was 2/3 the power output to the rest of the field. I'd guess that that would be the case for SV but Webber would be less again. Agree with him getting swamped off the start. Who else thinks SV hit the wall of champs on purpose lol

Webber is surely due for a blinder off the start. I had a dream earlier in the week which i told my housemate...Webber off the second row and leading by the first turn was the dream

Unless his KERS comes back on line for race start then I have about as much chance of eating sushi off Heather Graham's naked torso.

A real shame.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
