BTCC also artificially manufacture closer racing by imposing weight penalties on cars that are faster on the day. That works in BTCC but I don’t see that being transferable to something like F1. As for same spec cars with identical engines, anyone remember A1 GP? No, thought not. Forcing F1 down that route of standardising the cars would largely defeat the purpose of F1. Aside from the fact that it’s a team sport, and therefore reducing it so that the only difference is the driver removes the team aspect, it’s also supposed to be the pinnacle of racing. By providing all the chassis and engines for the teams undermines the basic principal of development that is the foundation of F1. I mean, how much tech on your average daily comes from BTCC, after all?

Is this where the wild speculation of the next Z coming with a Ferrari V12 start then...

Also, it goes off and needs replacing regularly. It's even more rubbish when it's gone off.

Fair enough, I stand corrected.

Does the new fail now supersede any previous pass?

That is a delightful colour, I like that.

Well, that's definitely been painted before. And terribly! The patches look like it's just a poor paint job, but if the paint is that horrendous I suspect any repair work under it will be equally as poor. I can't quite tell from the picture what the grooves and acne are likley to be though. Rear quarter panel is a big job to replace as it needs to be cut out & welded back on - it's not a bolt-on panel.

Try @ZMANALEX Be warned though, OEM don't come cheap!

Not really, tbh. They're made for filtering consumable water rather than producing pure 0ppm water (which you really don't want to drink!) that you'd want for detailing. It would reduce water marking, but It wouldn't eliminate it, and I'd suspect you might have flow issues for detailing too.

And I would recommend Daqua.

I’m pretty sure I know him https://www.350z-uk.com/topic/82410-the-ilogikal1-test-thread/

Thank god you’re here to tell us how boring this place is. Image how dead it would be if you had just left without the tantrum!

And it’s a slippery slope from here.... Fortunately for you there’s a (very charming, witty and all round great) guy on here who uses a lot of products and tends to review them on here, just so happens that he too has the best colour Z.

Hardly surprising, those glorified milk floats are quite boring to drive after all.

It’s my favouritist ever detailing purchase (from a lot of detailing purchases!). I love not having to even consider water-spotting or drying when washing cars. Yes, I need to get out more.

This is my favourite part of this build. ilogikal1 approves.

Could be a hijacked account. No response yet, I take it?

Nope, sorry we've voted on it once, that's it. It's undemocratic to have a second vote on anything. The next generation of voters could rejoin someday, those who haven't voted on it before that is. Provided they do so on the first attempt. That's how democracy works, right?!?

FTFY.

They’ve been consistent this year. Consistently saying they’ll be better at the next race!

At least I’m consistent.

Well, maybe give them each their own car... ...then again, maybe not actually!

Touring cars is always going to be more entertaining than F1 simply because it’s more of a contact sport than F1 ever can be. But even that aside, there’s little from BTCC than can translate to F1 really to make the latter more interesting without fundamentally changing the entire ethos of F1, IMHO. On a side note; BTCC needs to be picked up by a proper channel. All for it staying on free TV, but ITV really are s**t at all sports! I’d watch it a lot more if it had decent coverage. I know many people don’t like Sky having F1, but I like their coverage. At least they can organise a proper TV schedule...

Part of the problem is that Liberty are still dealing with the fallout of Bernie's legacy deals that had no intention of doing anything for entertainment (or, arguably, the sport). Having said that, I'm not sure what they can do to prevent one team dominating an era simply because they got their understanding of the rules right from the start. I really, really don't want it to become the gimmick-laden s**tshow that is Formula E (or Formula W...) for the sake of "entertainment", I'd rather stick with what we've got than go that route. I'd even rather go back to the days of condoned Ferrari cheating than that! If someone can come up with a way of making the racing actually racing-focused entertainment instead I'm all up for that, but I can't think of anything that actually manages to do that well at the moment. Not on the large scale akin to F1 anyway.

A handful of Sharpies and a day of your life... just saying.
