  14. Any of our Welsh Members on here know if this is going to happen as I believe they have signed a contract for Moto GP for 2016.. South Wales to get new racing circuit for 2015 Wales, already home to some of the UK’s best driving roads, is getting an all-new purpose-built racing circuit. The 3.5-mile track, to be christened ‘Circuit of Wales’, is due to be opened in 2015/2016, with work beginning on the site later in 2013. Where will the Circuit of Wales be built? The planned venue will be set in the Ebbw Vale, in Blaenau Gwent, South Wales, around 25 miles from Cardiff. Work is due to start on the 830-acre site once final approval has been granted from Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council to the outfit responsible for the circuit, the Heads of the Valleys Development Ltd. The site still needs to be surveyed and an environmental assessment to be completed before work can commence. What exactly will be built at the Circuit of Wales site? As well as the main 3.5-mile racetrack, designed by the same company that’s working on Wimbledon’s Centre Court roof, there’ll also be a motocross circuit, international-spec karting track, and off-road driving courses. A hotel and leisure complex is also planned – the Circuit of Wales is aiming to host international racing events, track days, manufacturer development and driving training programmes to encourage and nurture future British racing champions. In an effort to remain eco-conscious, the site will partly generate its own energy. How much is all this going to cost? The current budget for the Circuit of Wales is £350m for the public-private ownership programme, making the project the largest privately funded investment in motorsport ever seen in the UK. Makes the Nurburgring look like a bargain. Will the new track make any money? Heads of the Valleys Development Company Ltd. estimate 3000 jobs will be created during construction of the circuit, which, once complete, will reportedly attract 750,000 visitors a year. It’s hoped the Circuit of Wales will contribute as much as £50m per year to the UK economy. The Heads of the Valleys Development Company Ltd, pictured, right, said ‘I’d like to acknowledge the tremendous support of the local community of Blaenau Gwent and the Welsh Government. Michael Carrick continued: ‘We promise to deliver a truly innovative and sustainable business, helping to deliver long-term economic and social benefits for the region.’
  15. Easy job for any good body shop, and should not cost much either.
  16. I told Admiral about my Nismo rear wing and the only thing they said was as its not part of the original car, if it got broken they would not pay for it,
  17. Looks great on the Zed.
  18. I'm sure you don't need it with a Cobra, But CS will advise you.
  19. Team radio clampdown extends to Formula 1 pit boards. The FIA has told Formula 1 teams that the ban on advice being given to drivers will also extend to pit boards from this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix. Following a clampdown on team radio conversation that was announced last week, motor racing's governing body has now clarified with teams exactly what is and is not allowed. In a lengthy note that was sent to teams on Monday, and distributed by the FIA, it made clear the areas of car settings that drivers would now have to deal with themselves. Who benefits from radio ban? It was also pointed out that teams would not be allowed to get around the radio ban by displaying information on the pit board instead. However, some leeway has been given until the Japanese GP for teams to get better fail-safe systems in place so that drivers can cope with areas like tyre pressure, brake wear and gearbox learning (for seamless shift) without safety or reliability being compromised. Further discussions with teams are expected to take place ahead of the Singapore GP for the teams and the FIA to clear up any outstanding issues. The dramatic nature of the new interpretation of the rules has already left Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff in no doubt that there will be some controversy as it comes in to force. "The directive is not yet fully clear and there will inevitably be some controversy, so it will need further clarification as to how much the essential on-track procedures will be affected - particularly before the start of the race," he said. THE FIA's FULL CLARIFICATION OF TEAM RADIO SITUATIONS The FIA's note issued to teams made clear what team messages - either through pit boards or radio communications - that are and are not allowed from now on. Here is the full list: WHAT IS ALLOWED - Acknowledgement that a driver message has been heard. - Lap or sector time detail. - Lap time detail of a competitor. - Gaps to a competitor during a practice session or race. - "Push hard", "push now", "you will be racing xx" or similar. - Helping with warning of traffic during a practice session or race. - Giving the gaps between cars in qualifying so as to better position the car for a clear lap. - Puncture warning. - Tyre choice at the next pit stop. - Number of laps a competitor has done on a set of tyres during a race. - Tyre specification of a competitor. - Indication of a potential problem with a competitor's car during a race. - Information concerning a competitors likely race strategy. - Yellow flags, blue flags, Safety Car deployment or other cautions. WHAT IS NOT ALLOWED - Sector time detail of a competitor and where a competitor is faster or slower. - Adjustment of power unit settings. - Adjustment of power unit setting to de-rate the systems. - Adjustment of gearbox settings. - Learning of gears of the gearbox, allowing the ECU to record the position of the gears releative to each other for the seamless shift system (will only be enforced from the Japanese GP onwards). - Balancing the SOC [state-of-charge of batteries] or adjusting for performance. - Information on fuel flow settings (except if requested to do so by race control). - Information on level of fuel saving needed. - Information on tyre pressures or temperatures (will only be enforced from the Japanese GP onwards). - Information on differential settings. - Start maps related to clutch position, for race start and pit stops. - Information on clutch maps or settings, e.g. bite point. - Burn-outs prior to race starts. - Information on brake balance or BBW (brake-by-wire) settings. - Warning on brake wear or temperatures (will only be enforced from the Japanese GP onwards). - Selection of driver default settings (other than in the case of a clearly identified problem with the car). - Answering a direct question from a driver, e.g. "Am I using the right torque map"? - Any message that appears to be coded.
