The Silver Arrows made 2014 their bitch. New records for most 1 | 2 finishes and wins in a season (11 and 16 respectively) plus a total of 1357 points accrued via Mercedes power.

Will surely be a season referenced by commentators for many years to come.

Records are kind of useless, there's more races in the season and more points on offer than from long ago. It's like movie box office records, inflation guarantees it'll always be broken eventually.

Well given the emphasis is on poms and point score. Hamilton won more points in the last race than John Surtees did in 1964 to win the world drivers championship. Kind of tells you where the current nonsense has got to.

McLaren won 15 of 16 in 1988. MB 16 of 19.

    • Hey guys, Just thought it might be of interest to owners of the RB25 det NEO motor, that awesomeness Nitto are in the late process to produce an engine gasket kit by end of Jan 25.  I think obviously there will be an 25det kit too. cheers, Ian
    • He is around but doesn’t really do automotive stuff anymore, mainly does commercial work now 
    • Shortly after I do the usual full exhaust/ fmic/fuel pump/ R33 turbo and still get flogged at the lights by i30Ns
    • Is Chris from Craved Coatings still around? He is an ex SAU guy and did great powder coating (back in the day at least)
    • Bumping this thread yet again, has anyone ever tried putting yet another vacuum regulating valve on the hose that goes between the turbo inlet? Something local owners have mentioned is the Radium breather pipes de-restrict the valve cover but it actually produces an undesirable outcome in practice, way too much air is sucked out of the crankcase and a ton of oil comes with it as well. As far as I can tell the PCV diaphragm in these modern euro wet sump performance engines is active during boost as well, there's just a check valve to block boost from entering the valve cover and crankcase as there's no inherent check valve function in these diaphragm-type valves. Hopefully I'll be able to try some of this out soon. The Volvo XC90 4.4 V8 has a nice external version of these things.
