Heh, I wrote 24 hours first of all but I never stick to that rule myself, overnight is long enough to wait for me!

GLOL

Should really leave the first coat overnight, assuming you can leave the car in a garage or summat. Looks great though, just stick with the one coat next time

I'd kill them off in three laps too!

I have no problem with that. I'm more pi**ed off by the taxing of a tax on the cost of fuel, what the petrol companies make is peanuts.

Pirelli aren't the problem, it's purely down to the teams. They had these tyres to work with during the close season tests, and some of them just cannot get them to work for them full stop. Pirelli have done exactly what they were told to do.

Oh, them. They had one decent song about 10 years ago IIRC.

I suspect it feels better because all four wheels are now set with regards to each other, as Mark is right in saying that toe-in will increase high speed stability but reduce turn in.

Not so, there was a set of times posted from 2011 where Vettel won doing a four stop strategy, and his times were the same as Alcocko this year.

I have absolutely no idea what or who this thread is about. An album of some kind, yeah, but nothing else.

I hate roadsters with spoilers. That, however, looks very nice! Shouldn't work (and it's a bit iffy with the roof up), but with the top down that looks fantastic! Great stuff

Grey does look dull, but hey, you're the one who has a whole car that colour You already have a lairy colour down there, if the wheels were a slightly less lairy colour I'd agree with you, but they're not.

Neither. Black please, I don't think the current white really works well either if I'm honest mate. I'd say that you're in danger of having too many colours in one place, will look very jarring on the eye. Silver to match the car would also work well.

None of that is unsprung weight, though

Saying that fitting spacers will not affect performance at all is like saying that you've got a turbo that has no lag: Completely impossible due to the laws of physics. Cornering would be affected and would probably be noticeable, but straight line stuff? Unlikely you'd notice. Unless they were made of steel and a good few kg each, of course... Were they, OP?

Meh, he probably had cruise control on, and the road was straight and clear in front of him. Can't see the problem.

Yeah, I was going to do that when on the phone to them ordering a new card, but Jeff (or Rahjeshmahmadoul Billajowonga to his friends) was struggling just working out I wanted a replacement card, so I thought I'd give it a try another day

I do, but it ran out in April. Tbh it's unlikely I'll need it even if I do have a need for it, as I've got private medical cover coming out of my ears, but even so I'd still quite like to have one. Also just ordered a replacement credit card as mine has a massive crack down it right near the chip, been meaning to sort that out for a few months too It's the card I intend on putting 99% of my spending on whilst I'm away, so pretty critical it works!

16 days to go Ordered my Sanef toll thing last night, very painless experience and should be here tomorrow, cost me about £35 to start with which includes a £20 refundable deposit on the tag itself. Also remembered to renew my EHIC which takes 10 days to arrive: I really hope that's not working days else I've cut it significantly fine! I've also been running my HDH3 repeatedly, trying to extend the battery life as much as possible. Right now I'm getting about 2 hours in 1080/30 format which is fine, that's without Wifi on though. Can't see that being a major issue as I'll be running from a 12v source most of the time, and will only go battery for the external stuff. The car is also booked in for a geo to my specs on the 28th, which is the day before I leave: I'm getting very good at leaving things until the last minute here!

Lewis' comments regarding not being able to drive any slower should be a wake up call to the sport. That's simply not good PR to have, and the whole world heard that too.

Granted, they may need to alter the structure of them a bit still. I miss refuelling too.

Are they trying to kill the brand dead? I'm sure it'll be okay if not amazing, but there is such a thing as too much. Saturate the market and people stop caring. One decent Marvel film a year is enough IMHO.

Nothing wrong with having tyres that fall apart in principle, but just let the teams have as many as they want. That way, they can either rag the cars to the limit and try and make up the time lost in the extra pit stops, or they can drive a bit more carefully and try to preserve the tyres and do less stops. It's because they have a set amount that also need to be used during practice and qualy that is causing these issues really.

Urus first, it's been confirmed for production this week.
