Renault has an impact on every championship. Its hard for one of the manufacturers at the pointy end of the field not to have an impact on the championship. If their car is fast they have an impact, if their car is unreliable that has an impact. That's as it should be.

WHat shouldn't happen, and what I can't recall happening ever before is half the top ten getting wiped out in turn 1 due to one guy's ineptitude. Has nothing to do with other teams reliability issues.

Saying Vettel may have finished second anyway is a massive leap - if you actually read what your disagreeing with yopu'd know he failled to make the top10 in qualy, and his only podium in the previous 6 races came in the wet. RBR didn't have pace at that time of the season, particularly not at Spa. The cars with straightline speed did - Williams, Sauber, Force India, Ferrari, McLaren... Even Lotus were faster than Red Bull there. Vettel was going to at least have a very tough time making up those positions. In fact with their reknowned lack of top end speed, he'd have been lucky to pass anyone at Spa! Postulate on what might have happened as much as you like, the fact is Vettel's main rivals got taken out and Vettel was gifted a bunch of points while his rivals were deprived a chance of scoring any. That's what happened. Its sad that that incident looks like costing Alonso the championship. Vettel will deserve this one about as much as Hamilton deserved his. :P

      App to track mods, repairs etc.

      By cardre · Posted

      Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about an app I use to track the modifications, repairs, servicing etc I do to my R33 GTR. You might like to use it as well. I'm biased because my son just wrote and released it! But I think you might find it useful to... https://trackmymods.com

      Proud Dad

      Hey everyone, been on here for a while, but never introduced myself before. 1st import was a R32 GTS Type M, then R33 GTS, now R33 GTR - each one sold to help pay for the next one. Over the years my son has seen me modify and do changes to my imports and was one of the reasons for him to build an app for car enthusiasts like us. (He can only afford a 2007 Honda at the moment, but he'll get there!) Anyway, bit of a proud Dad moment as he's released an app that I use and you all might like to as well. https://trackmymods.com

      Dual exhaust questions

      It will sound tragic and you wished you didn't have 1x exhaust per turbo. There's a reason why most S55 owners change to a single mid pipe.

      Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂

      Dual exhaust questions

      1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.
