so incase ppl were asleep

p1 was red flagged for a few mins as vettel proper-fecked the chicane and hit 'the wall of champions'

it resumed and the ferraris looked strong, hamilton lost all steering wheel displays due to a steering rack fault

vettel only has 2 front wings left btw :S... would he ever use one of webbers if needed?

p2... after fixing the car with both rbr teams cranking to get it sorted.

di ambrosio, kobiyashi, and di resta all had crashed from hardest to lightest. none real serious just a few snapped arms and linkages.

looks to be a fairly slippery course. interestinly enough it looks to actualy be looking up for ferrari and mclaren..... lewis has 100% record here and wouldnt be happy after monaco!

True that, not too concerned tonight but work on Monday morning will suck if I stay up tomorrow night for the race. :/

If this was supposed to be where mclaren and the fuzz where going to have any chance of pole and vettel still got it done, i can see why the already paid him out for the WDC

Mclaren running that much wing is just unforgiveable. I can believe they gambled (again) on a such a stupid variation. Redbull deserve this.

Even if Nando else wins, Vettel still has a podium all tied up. Stupid stupid stupid

Lol, Should be a good race, Vettel seems to be getting the best out of the Red Bull, there are four guys that can win the race tomorow it seems.

+1 for Massa, looks in the best shape of the season.

I will reserve judgment on the rain setup until the race finishes dry tomorrow, afterall, the alogythms and simulations they use for race pace are actually very accurate, must be boring knowing where you'll come in the following race upto the last few seconds.

McLaren knew they didn't have outright pace, so they gambled with the setup we will see if it pays off.

oh and +1 for Kob for effort, loose as a goose through the final chicane, impressive stuff. :thumbsup:

    • 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.
