With SONY as their new sponsor?

Dont want to be hating but typical Jo Saward horsesht. Runs a story that has been specifically denied by Sony. He gets about one in a hundred of these things right but it is all (At best) unsubstantiated rubbish.

Having said that sods law dictates that Sony will end up being McLarens new sponsor.

I'd rather watch R/C cars racing than than FormulaE, if that is what they are going to be like, especially with the ridiculous 100m dash that the drivers have to do in the middle of the race when they change cars after 20 minutes.

not as ridiculous as the fans being able to vote extra power to a certain car.

Think it was the weekly Sky F1 Show earlier in the year talked that Sony was a possibility when discussing the bad year they were having and chances of damaging negotiations with replacement sponsor. They were talking how the Honda deal could bring Japanese sponsors on board?!?!? Made no sense to me

And something else I stumbled across. Lotus still have not confirmed a Renault engine deal. Surely they are using one and building the car around it...but dollars from non existant sponsors etc and payments is stopping a formal deal.

I hope they are not in as bad a shape as some media outlets are saying with regards to possibly not fronting as employees still missing pay cheques :(

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
