I think the Zakspeed engine was based on the Ford BDA.

I'd certainly heard it was a non-specific Ford block.

Either way, madness to plug along with that for 4 years with bugger all money. They couldn't even qualify at Monza in 1988. With a turbo.

And as can be seen it's running fine, dunno why it wouldn't make a great F1 engine.

My allegiance since then has been: Mansell → Villeneueve → Montoya → Hamilton.

Not bad, but the correct answer was: Mansell -> Hill -> Coulthard -> Button -> Hamilton. You sound like somebody who knows Britain is the best country in the world, but isn't comfortable admitting it. Let me guess, Labour voter?

Fuckin lmao.

Though I'd have to go Hill over Mansell because he beat the axis of Germany and Italy and Button a close second for beating the German in an Austrian vehicle.

This year's extensive testing has shown that I need it to loving rain on race day. These lap times are spicy as gently caress but everyone is going to pull away on race day.

Been watching some of that Silver War video and the poo poo with the radio ban looks so loving stupid in retrospect. I mean at the time it looked rather dumb but goddamn. Either give them a radio or don't. Who runs this sport? Well luckily Americans do now so it'll be done right. God bless Liberty.

I like that it's not our usual drizzle and is actually chucking it down, also that it's far worse in London than anywhere else. If only it had hit us a week earlier and the British GP would have had Malaysia GP levels of rain :(

I use the same tires for all conditions, 1500 must be a "posh git" if he swaps out rubber in the wet

Yeah, they're also the old tire brand the club used that aren't as great. Still I think it'd be an easy podium in the wet.

I need to buy those stupid laser alignment things so I can mark down this setup for when it's wet and then.

Edit: just to drive home the point, I was running two tenths faster in the same session than the richest guy in our class, who has the pace to get on the podium when he doesn't crash out, on the same gearing but with 1000 less peak revs over the lap. So either this engine is absolutely hosed or I'm driving really good 95% of the lap and loving up the turn onto the straight. most likely a little from column A, and a little from column B

Too many similarities for it to just be coincidences.

A German leaving the Red Bull Fourth Reich by Adolf Mateschitz to reinforce the Italian team as a Spanish civil war plays out in the backdrop against Alonso & Sainz.
