Hi and welcome. Rare colour that,looks very nice.

I reckon Rules is done in F1, Sutil has got the be the favourite for his Williams seat. Unless Sutil signs for Lotus (pretty unlikely), then he could just live to fight another day... In all seriousness,Rubens needs to retire. Hes not a quick as he was,and yes he has years of experience,but he would be better off taking a technical job at a team,helping set up etc and consulting. He has alot to offer,just not behind the wheel anymore.

Red Bull for the triple double!

How the hell do you drive that with that steering wheel? Looks pretty stunning to be honest,not my thing,but fair play to the owner.

Got mine and got them fitted last year. Was surprised by the weight of the original pulleys. Engine spins up faster with these fitted,well worth it.

Be careful with the US ones,as they will be set up for LH drive. You will need some from a RH drive car i believe,otherwise your beam direction will be wrong.

Good luck finding some now. I ordered mine in October,and still havnt got them.

Spotted a very clean 54plate (I think) azure coupe,with LED rear lights and what looked like 20"wheels. Also had a sports exhaust and bumper tuck. Had a quick wave. Put mine to shame,as it looked very clean,mine looks like its been ploughing fields.

I took some videos of the cars in the garage while Renault were trying to blow them up,but did it on my camera. I cant seem to transfer them to my phone when im syncing my phone with my computer (A Mac laptop). Does anyone know how to put these videos on the phone at all?

Screaming engines were amazing,we had ear plugs in,though they only helped abit. It was a pretty cool sight,and sound,with both of them going at the same time. The heat and fumes were insane though. They did it last year in Abu Dhabi,until the exhausts were cherry red. They didnt go that far this time

+1 can't seem to view the vids though What happens when you click on them?

Makesure you have the volume up on this video,and keep an eye on the drip tray under the back of Sebs car I love this pic For all you V8 lovers.

Is that a Russian Alpha Class?

Was a crazy weekend. Seb treated the team to dinner at a steak place where they just bring you meat,and carve off as much as you want. That was Wednesday night. We also all went to a club that was only for RB people,sponsors etc sunday night,which was good. Free drink. Though the highlight has to be Seb swigging vodka straight from the bottle,and busting moves on the dance floor. DJ Erok provided the music with enough bass to make your chest thump from the other side of the club!

Well iv just sat down,and dumped all my stuff,and thought id come on and say hi. What a weekend,certainly was a good week for me. Il upload some photos abit later. Also got an amazing video of the 2 cars in the garage screaming their heads off,as Renault wanted to blow atleast one of them up. That was loud! Iv been told i was on TV too,so il be having a check on that at some point. I didnt sleep on the plane back,so currently been up for over 24 hours,except a half hour nap on the bus on the way back to the factory.

Feel free to "tweak" some of Sebs settings to help Mark to the front if you like GL with the race, not that you're likely to need it. I hope Mark can have a good result Sunday,he needs and deserves it. He did well last year,so fingers crossed.

I hope the quality is better than the ones i saw at Goodwood 2 years ago. The welding looked like with was done by a high Stevie Wonder. FTW though. I love the metallic sound that the engine makes at idle,sounds really angry. Most videos fail to capture it.

Off to Brazil later folks,keep an eye out for me on TV. I dont directly work on the cars in the garage,so i will probably be seen bumming around or something. Looking forward to going back to where we won the championship last year. I will be hoping Mark can get the pole and the win,and end his season long drought. Hopefully we will have an aftershow party too FTW

Estelle is an HR advisor for an aerospace company. Its unusual for the HR department to be sorting out expenses,its usually done through accounts/payroll department

From what i remember,the 90 is the saloon,the 91 the estate,and the 92 the coupe.

Looks awesome! A friend of mine has the dark blue (interlargos i think) with the same wheels in black. I keep saying to him to change the bling bits to black,as it would complement the wheels and the roof,but he refuses! lol His also has the EDC,not all cars have it,so he had to wait a fair amount of time for the right one to come up. It is an awesome car,though i think it needs a decent exhaust on it,as its far too muted. We went to FOS 2 years ago,and it took 2 hours each way. We averaged 19mpg there and back,and were not nailing it all the way. The whole trip was a tank of fuel.

Has it got to be diesel? How about something like a VXR Vectra,or even more subtle a GSI vectra. the GSI has 200hp and a 3,2 v6. Id avoid the Golf too. I had a mk5 GTI for 6 weeks,and it was a good car,did everything well,but i wasnt sad to see it go. It was just a good all rounder. Im sure you could pick up a 530i or 530d for that sort of money,if thats the size you want,or a 330i/330d if you want something abit smaller,similar sketch with the C and E class,though they tend to be Auto's more than manuals. Youve also got the A4+A5 Audis,they are very good. Just depends what you fancy. Try driving a range of cars,and see what sort of car suits you best.

Awesome,thanks!

Was hoping someone maybe kind enough to lend me the bits for a week on an individual basis,being winter and all,i know some people have sheds to drive in.

I discovered someone that has the Summit one,but cant seem to find it on their site,so either there is some LOFT involved,or they dont do it anymore.
