That F1's only done 14K! ... and had nearly 13000 views. Hope it stays in NZ.

Wonder what the insurance on it is like

Think it's confirmed now that police have a list of the passengers they believe were on-board. Even worse is that his 5yo son was on-board.

They really do live fast. A bit like a lot of rock stars I spose, except that drivers go out high on adrenaline rather than a class A drug.

A real shame ...

Hmmm, well this all sounds different to what the Toyota Racing Series is claiming, because they are shifting to biofuels (like what is run in standard cars).

The benefits they said were:
*more power
*cooler running engines (if I remember rightly)

There was no mention of any disadvantages in ...

Only thing i'd say is you might want some more height on the gas pedal. Heel-toe is difficult on my corolla just because the gas pedal is a fair bit deeper than the brake, supra is perfect. You could cut a piece of 10mm thick *hard* foam the same shape as the gas pedal and stick it over the top ...

Bolt-on racing pedal suggestions

Hey guys, I want to have a play with the heel-toe driving style like what the pro's do. So I'll need some pedals made for the job, just to chuck in my run-about.
I've heard that I can either go with clip-on pedals or bolt-ons. Bolt-on sounds safer to me, so what are some good options?

Thanks for the help guys. Makes it all clear as.
But still one more thing, any estimates for what the offset is for the standard wheels on my AE92 Levin?
I couldn't find it printed on the wheels. They're just standard 14" wheels with hubcaps.

Wheel stud patterns, offsets, etc

I'll start off by saying I swear I've searched the forum and the net for about half an hour with very little luck.
I'm trying to find out what my AE92 stud pattern is (think I found it was 4x100), and what this wheel offset business is.

I know what the 4 studs means, but what's the x100(mm?) bit ...

Think I just failed my exam this morning because of watchin it all Sunday afternoon till the end But I think it was worth it. And I'll do it all again next year.

That was definitely worth not studying for my exams!

That last remaining Audi was just too good. Peugeot 2nd, Pescarolo 3rd.

The DBR9 was lucky to beat the Corvette in GT1. If it wasn't for the safety car, it would've been a win for the Corvette

Yeah I was up at 1am to hear the start of the race. Dumb Peugeot on pole went straight into the gravel on the first corner! But at least he was back up to 3rd by the end of the lap.

I've been searching everywhere for a live stream. Will post a link if I find anything

haha it lights up the rears easily enough as it is, i can't imagine what it would be like using only 10% of the tire to try and drive looks sweet though.

Hmmm... I think that (excuse my technicalness) only the weight on the tire and the friction co-efficient of the rubber affects how much grip ...
