Must be tight on parts. I'm guessing that they manufacture these parts in England for the obvious logistic reasons. They should have been able to design new support pylons during the break, or they are just using this as an initial shakedown wing.

I think they have two actually. One is painted, one isn't.
Nose 1 = the paint lines where the nose meets the bulkhead don't line up, red tape on the pylon sits low and shows black at the top
Nose 2 = top paint lines line up, red tape on the pylon sits higher, blocking almost all the black

The wheelbase is dictated by the Ferrari 15 unit. I think the sidepod might have been dictated by using last year's Ferrari radiator solution to open up space on the floor. I think they might bring a sculpted sidepod design later on if it doesn't eat up too much R&D time.

Williams has no money. They can't compete with the juggernauts. I'm starting to dislike them too as they think that anything other than the Mercedes engine has allowed them to beat RedBull and Ferrari in the past 2 years. They got pretty comprehensively beaten by a heavily compromised SF15-T.

I really hope the ferrari is up there. but other teams seem to inferr that they're not on the same level of Mercs yet. Im hoping that somehow Rosberg can play Ferrari's advantage against hamilton; of course, that can happen both ways.
Then again, maybe a 1986 will happen again; where Vettel can take advantage of the two mercs fighting and snab the WDC from under them.

I really wouldn't be suprised if the defer kimi to a 2nd driver position if it meant vettel securing a WDC.
I think Kimi is an extremely competitive driver, but only when he has a car set up to his liking; having another competitive driver might mean compromising his front-end heavy driving style (sort of like how Hamilton is fucking up Rosberg, except in that case it seems to be more motivated by keeping the car babby from whining.)

It will be interesting to see how the change to push rod suspension will help him.
>mfw Gimi actually comes good
Also, apparently another thing that really fucked his sensitive feels, was the FIA changed the regulations and made the teams go back to hydraulic steering instead of electronic.
Apparently with the electronic they could just laptop very minor changes in feel, but with hydraulic they had to play trial and error machining parts over and over, which takes fucking forever, and isn't as precise.

It would be real carbon fiber, just not structural in anyway.
All Ferrari would have done is wrap it with carbon mat, then dumped resin on it.
Then probably would have baked it in the autoclave because they have one

Am I the only one that doesn't really care too much about engine sound? I mean sure, it's great and all but it's just a gimmick and a novelty in the end. If a v6 was made to sound like a v10 it would be cool for about 5 minutes and then i'd just pay attention to more important things like reliability and efficiency.

Im more referencing how there was promised a singificant increase, but there wasnt any.
Yes I agree; efficiency over sound. A formula shouldn't be built around the noise a car makes. Its tune shouldn't be itself crafted per se, but rather a circumstantial to the engine that was created.

A while ago, she posted about an Asian movie (don't remember what it was) that was getting an American remake (for American audiences, set in America, American everything) and she was wound up because didn't feature an Asian cast.
Apparently this was racist "white washing".
Yet six months later she was over the moon about how great the announced remake of Ghostbusters featuring an all female cast was (because feminism), and didn't make a single mention of "pink washing".

Team managers met earlier this week and suggested a compromise format which would see knockout periods during the first two parts of qualifying before using the old style in a Q3 session which would feature eight cars.
However, the WMSC has now approved the original format, with the aim of introducing it from the first race of the season in Australia in two weeks.
The new elimination format will work as follows:
Q1
16 minutes
After 7 minutes, slowest driver eliminated
Slowest driver eliminated every 1 minute 30 seconds thereafter until the chequered flag
7 drivers eliminated, 15 progress to Q2
Q2
15 minutes
After 6 minutes, slowest driver eliminated
Slowest driver eliminated every 1 minute 30 seconds thereafter until the chequered flag
7 drivers eliminated, 8 progress to Q3
Q3
14 minutes
After 5 minutes, slowest driver eliminated
Slowest driver eliminated every 1 minute 30 seconds thereafter until the chequered flag
2 drivers left in final 1 minute 30 seconds

It's like they got wind that teams were actually inventing shit and innovating for the future and backpedaled hard.
You know, imagine if they came up with amazing new shit that put F1's electric bit to shame. You'd then have to put these into F1's regs, which makes the teams angry because they have to work more.
Or, it's just because whoever is going to be the battery/chassis supplier is in bed with people in the FIA.

It's a northern drink from Manchester it's just that we exported it and they love it as it's a fruity nonalcoholic beverage they can enjoy during the fasting period or some shit.

Also it surprises me that Americans apparently don't seem to have cordials or squash. Like every household I've ever been in had some form of cordial in it. It's what you drank as a kid.

inside the walls residential is generally some 12/2 NM-B cable (a lot of people say "romex" for all nonmetallic sheathed) which is 12 gauge solid copper (maybe the thickness of a pencil lead) which is 20 amps, but a single typical 120V outlet is only 15A
they are rated by ampacity not wattage so the 240V circuits (range, water heater, clothes dryer) look similar but there is an extra wire
they also make other sizes, 10g solid for 30A circuit isn't unusual. 8g (40A) and up are stranded not solid and on the other eng 14g (15A) gets used for cheap shit
extension cords are another matter, a typical unmarked extension cord is 16/2 13A 1625W (read that right off this $2 one next to me). they are all stranded. if you want a decent one e.g. for construction they are usually color coded like orange/red/yellow for 16/14/12

There isn't enough slack on the earth wire.
It's designed so that if it gets yanked the live wire is the shortest and will get pulled out first followed by neutral and then ground.

Well the live pins are insulated part way so that if plugged in halfway you can't touch them.
All the sockets come with shutters inside them that cover the live and neutral holes and only open when the ground is connected meaning you can't start poking shit into your socket and get shocked.
The sockets all have on/off switches as well.
I know getting patriotic over a plug is a bit much but it is a really nice piece of british engineering.

Remember when mansell said that he could beat hamilton on single lap pace, and that you lose race pace when you get old?
More and more I'm thinking of the statistics that show when people get old. Jacques Laffite was driving f1 in his 40s and his qualifying pace really suffered, but his race pace was really good, with him on the podium twice in his final year before retiring with leg injuries. Clay Regazzoni is similar, with qualifying being disproportionately hurt, good results until he became paraplegic when his brake pedal snapped at long beach.
More strategic drivers like Alain Prost, Niki Lauda and Nelson Piquet were less affected in both categories, although both Prost and Piquet's performances seemed to suffer more with lack of motivation (1989 for piquet and 1993 for prost).

Rauno Aaltonen drove in motorsports professionally for 5 decades and was consistently quite good. He raced boats and motorcycles at first, started to drive rally cars in 1955 as a hobby and he ended his professional career there in 1987. He still did some racing in touring cars in the 90's. I think it's going to be hard to find someone with a longer motorsports career these days.

RGB still looks bad to me but individually sleeved colour coordinated cables? Aww yeah
Plus cable management won't look like ass and crimping wire/playing with paracord is frankly a fetish.
The problem is the colour scheme:
>ASUS board colour scheme is brown/Khaki
>Noctua cooler is creamy outer with nutty brown fans
>Noctua redux case fans are grey
Brown can be such an unappealing colour

Thanks.do they ship to mexico? LOL anyways if i were to extremely customize my setup i wouldn't use rainbow cables(not at least on the first try).
I would do something like this but with more pink apart from the cables and custom loop, maybe a bit on the outside.
I would name it "Teenage Dream"

>As of now, the FIA's official 2016 F1 regulations state that qualifying is exactly the same as it was last year.
>Only if all teams support the change to an elimination format now will that be changing for Melbourne.
Backmarker 03/07/16 (Mon) 17:43:17 3710e1 No. 37686

The only way elimination format would make work if it was done over the course of a single hour-long session. Half-hour of free for all, start eliminating drivers every 2 minutes once the half-hour mark passes.
Backmarker 03/07/16 (Mon) 19:03:45 4d3b64 No. 37688
>>37686
The biggest problem with all these elimination qualifying schemes is that they force drivers to qualify their cars on the track at the same time under the same circumstances (barring getting blocked).
This removes the planning and strategic elements of qualifying which naturally toss up the field. If you look at qualifying results from the mid 90s and further back, it's rare to see the procession of cars in order of constructors standings that has become commonplace today.
Under the two day, 12 lap, 1 hour per session qualifying scheme you saw the most skill rewarded, the biggest gaps between teammates, and the potential for better racing from the natural tossup of the grid.
There's some fallacy that we have to make qualifying like a randomized, frenzied dash that rewards getting out on track first more than the skill of the driver and car setup.
Also the 2 day, 12 lap, 1 hour qualifying sessions were perfectly watchable, usually at least two drivers were out doing balls out laps at any given time.
People love to say that rain would prevent anyone from coming on track, as if a rained out qualifying session wouldnt be immediately redflagged by todays FIA lest the tractors get hungry.

>Despite a general belief that the 't-minus' logos adorning the sidepods of this year's Arrows cars pointed to the unveiling of a major new sponsor or chassis development, nothing appeared to be any different at Imola.
>There was a feeling of disappointment and anti-climax when, at 't+1', the team revealed that the ruse simply drew attention to its latest branding idea. 'T-minus' was dreamt up by new Arrows boss, Prince Malik, as a universal brand name which will be licensed to manufacturers wishing to promote their products in tandem with Arrows. The advantage, according to Prince Malik, is that manufacturers can benefit directly from a global marketing facility offered by his company, while appearing on the sidepods of the team's cars at no extra cost.
>Much had been made of a possible link with Italian car manufacturer Lamborghini, with rumours suggesting that Arrows had signed a deal to use Lambo engines in its cars. In contrast, the connection merely pointed to the possibility of Lamborghini launching a limited 't-minus' edition of its Diablo model.

but if I had friends I wouldn't have time for you guys…
Also where I live isn't that social and I only ever had one proper absolute best friend (went round to each others house. Always paired up at school. proper best m8s) across my school life. All my other friends I haven't kept in contact since we left upper 6th. I didn't have a twitter or facebook, I stopped going online on my xbox. The few who I had on steam haven't messaged me in ages.
The idea of going out to find friends feels awkward.
I leave for work at 8-9am get back at 8 usually. I'm often quite tired so I go upstairs to have fun my little brother. He's on the autistic spectrum but playing with lego or racing games is always good fun. I commentate on his/our racing, pretending it is some big final race with a chance of a title.
I let him come to my room because his computer is pretty rubbish and play rfactor 2. Same thing again.
He always gets a kick out of the crashes and regardless of the severity I always joke and claim he has died or the car has gone through the fence and wiped out the crowd.
He always tries to come up with some excuse as to why he is in fact alive:
>"Okay this is bad buuuuuut I'm heavily injured, in a come for life, eating through a straw but I count as alive"
>"They would have jumped out of the way!!! They had like what 1…2… seconds to react. Sure they made it. Maybe that guy has a broken leg but he will walk it off"
I don't really know where I was going with this….
