You gotta wonder why mgmt even let's them do stuff like that in the off season.

McLaren prolly keep Lewis in cryostasis, Han Solo-style, in between media/training gigs during the northern winter.

poor kube. that is devastating, could even be career ending for him. :( yeah It's surprising more teams don't have clauses in the contracts stating what drivers can and can't do in their off season. look at webber and his farken endurance events. how well has that worked....not. great way to start a season recovering from a few broken bones.

I mean if you really want to do tarmac rally, or mountain biking etc surely it can wait till after your (short) F1 career? isn't driving F1 cars for 9-10 months a year excitement enough. I would think you would not want to do anything to jeopardise the small window any driver has in F1.

Anyway, I'll be praying for you (or whatever I do in place of prayer) Kube. Hope to see you back on track soon and in a decent car too. bobby kube is without doubt one of the best prospects in the current crop of 'young' drivers and this time out will hurt his progress badly. :(

yeah agreed the testing bad sucks but I'm with stinky. I would not want my mega buck F1 drivers doing tarmac rallies on their time off. the stats tell you the chance of damage is high.

geeebus!! (and ouch)

why is it everyone seems to hit the end or guard rails??? see it on highway crashes too. there can be 100's of km's of nothing, then as soon as you add a guard rail someone will hit it. even if they extend the guard rail after the first one. the next car will hit it earlier.....are they magnetic? or are most people just that scared of em that they end up staring at them till they hit it??? (obv this wasnt the case with Kube)....but.....weird

+1 for the HRT car. looks the busines, love the way its advertising where you can buy advertising

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 😛
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
