A crash involving a Toro Rosso truck will not affect the teams performance this weekend. The truck was carrying a fleet on minibuses that would have been used to transport the team to & from the circuit and hotel. The incident happened when another truck crashed into the rear end of the Toro Rosso vehicle. The damage is estimated at £104,000. The team will find an alternative fleet of vehicles to transport their personnel.

Wonder if Vettel was driving behind the truck...

not working. :/

+1 pure listening pleasure :thumbsup:

senna only has two races to prove him self (Belgian and Italian Grands Prix)

Team principal Eric Boullier feels Senna has the right qualities to drive for Renault.

"We are happy to provide Bruno with the chance to begin racing with Lotus Renault GP, starting at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend," the Frenchman said. "He has proved himself to be an attentive member of the team since he joined almost seven months ago, and we are confident that he will demonstrate his ability alongside Vitaly (Petrov)."

Renault said on their team website that their "present intention is to give Bruno the opportunity to race for the rest of the season. However, some legal issues have not been fully resolved as yet and, as a result, the team will make another announcement on this matter in due course."

in other news still talk about mark and his contract, he said

"I know some of you are waiting for news on my future," he wrote in his column for BBC Sport.

"I stopped off in Salzburg for a meeting with Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz on my way to the Hungarian Grand Prix last month and, as planned, the August break gave me a good opportunity to have a chat with team principal Christian Horner about me continuing in 2012."

q&a with senna for those that are interested

Edited by tweety bird

bruno (you can't call him 'senna' ffs) will have his work cut out. petrov is pretty decent and I can't say I ever remember bruno doing anything that great. if he can get on top of petrov in these 2 races then he's in with a chance at a drive. but I doubt it.

Portugese naming customs are odd, to say the least.

Bruno Senna is actualy Bruno Senna Lalli. His mothers maiden name is Senna & his fathers name is Lalli - hence Senna Lalli.

In the same way Ayrton was actually Ayrton Senna Da Silva. He just used the Senna bit becuase it sounded better to the English.

This is typical not some confected hyphonated nonsense like the poms use to sound more impressive.

For that matter Ayrton is not actually pronounced airtun.

But anyway. Here is hoping Bruno goes ok. Bit hard to light the world up in a HRT as Ricciardo (pronounced Rickardo FFS) is finding.

why not ?

Yeh, will be watching with interest how your Bruno goes. I have never thought much of his ability even though he has had good results in lower categories. I think he is there because of his name, nothing else...so happy to be proven wrong. He will be doing well to get withing 0.8sec of Petrov in quali and withing 1 minute of Petrov in the races (IMO)

Its painful to have been at this track only 10 days ago and now having to watch this race on tv :(

Why don't you just find and internet peepshow and get the girl/s to say saucy things to you like "oooh oooh eau rouge" or "spank me on my Blanchimot" or "you can park your bike in my Bust-top"

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
