It's just normal on the inside and forged magnesium is pretty good in temps there's a video on it here


I've also got a set of Pistons, conrods (titanium) and cams aswell (from a GTE vantage) with some other things on the way

Took a picture of the inside for you as I noticed something I had missed before, magnets!

You have the locator spikes so the wheel goes on the hub and there's the magnets to help it to stop falling off the hub so you don't have to hold it at a strange angle for the nut to screw on.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what's the significance of Katherine Legge dropping to silver? I saw others saying she'll be popular now in the comments.

Composition of the crews

LMP1: Bronze drivers are not permitted

LMP2: A crew of 2 or 3 drivers must include at least one Silver or Bronze driver.

LMGTE Pro: The composition of the crews is free

LMGTE Am: A crew of 2 or 3 drivers must include at least 1 Bronze and 1 bronze or Silver

Gold speed in a Silver rating is what all of the Am teams look for.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion. That could be a great deal for her.

This applies to the WEC.


c)
For the LMP2 category:
A
driver must imperatively have driven for a
minimum of 1 hour and 15 minutes during the race.
A driver may not drive for more than 3
hours and 30 minutes
in total.
d)
For the LMGTE Am category:
A driver must imperatively have driven for a
minimum of 1 hour
and 45 minutes during the race.
A driver may not drive for more than 3
hours and 30 minutes
in total

The ELMS rules are different I think.

Here, top speeds for Shanghai-

The #99 Aston was in the top 3 in speed traps. But the important thing is, Young Driver withdrew their cars, not Aston Martin per se. Look where the AM cars are at in the speed traps. 264kmh and 266kmh. But this is maximum speed through qualifying and practice. Not the race.

Are you kidding? Wurz wasn't slow, Toyota in General has just fallen behind Audi and Porsche.

The number 8 car was much slower then the 7 last year and its the same this year. It's not just Alex it could be Stefan as well or mike. I
 
AMR will have new spec tyres for Bahrain although its still possible Jan will pull his car again.

Also had something else came today

I haven't paid as much attention to WEC this season, but in 2013 and 2014 Wurz and Sarrazin were both clearly well off the pace of Davidson, Buemi and Nakajima.

If Bird and/or Kobayashi can come in and do a better job, that's the direction Toyota should go. Wurz retiring only makes the transition easier.
 
Furinkazen
He kept the car going on the road and was hardly slow. Toyota just got cocky and regretted it dearly this year.
Click to expand...
Toyota still improved by 2+ seconds from last year. They didnt get cocky, they got outspent. Wurz will be missed, but theres faster guys in the waiting. Kobayashi was rookie of the year in Super Formula, regularly top 5 in his first season. So hes going to be great in the TS050.
