    Official 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread - Shanghai International Circuit - Race 5/24

    Yep, and he still was slower than Gasly.

    Official 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread - Shanghai International Circuit - Race 5/24

    I'm going to set the over/under on the number of laps it takes Verstappen to be leading. Let's say... 5.5. Any takers?

    Official 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread - Shanghai International Circuit - Race 5/24

    Awwww Norris would have been on pole by 1s+ if he hadn't blown the last corner *Edit* And then he blows it again... the guy chokes it on every opportunity. *Edit 2* WTF race control...?

    Official 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread - Shanghai International Circuit - Race 5/24

    The Pirelli full wets are completely useless. The inters provide more grip in basically every situation except standing water, but the cars never race in that.

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    That's where I'm thinking too, just wanted a sanity check :) Also to be clear it's the 2.5 GTS, not a 4.0.

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    Choice of 2 718 Caymans, which would you go for? Both white, have PDK, Bose, SC, sport exhaust, MF wheel, park assist, extended warranty to mid 2026. 2017 Cayman S, 22k miles, has PDLS+, full leather interior. 2018 Cayman GTS 2.5, 42k miles, sport design exterior, carbon/red stitching...

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    They probably won't do better, but they will drop your renewal - assuming you get the same outcome I did from them.

    best 1.4 hatchback for under £3000

    Anything inherently wrong with your Fiesta? Unless it's got an issue, or due some massive maintenance bills soon, I'd be tempted to stick with it. £3k isn't likely to get you something that much better. How many miles is the commute?

    Sold Car Issues

    Playing devils advocate here, your advert listed the car with faults but *did not* explicitly say that it was specifically being sold as spares/repair. How the buyer decided to pick the car up seems completely irrelevant to me. What were the issues you advised him of? You may well have agreed a...

    Would you tip game devs?

    A good chunk of a game dev team are contractors who leave the project months before it goes gold. Like **** am I dropping a tip to a multi-billion dollar corporation based on work done for them by staff who may or may not ever see any cent of it. Yet more 'altruism' in the name of corporate greed.

    *** Car Wash / Valet / Detailing Thread ***

    I use a large Megs brush for faces and barrels, medium wheel woolie to fit behind the callipers and in tighter spokes, then a small detailing brush to get in to the lugs. One thing I would say is to absolutely avoid using the 'twisted wire' type of wheel brushes. When, not if, the plastic tip...

    *** Car Wash / Valet / Detailing Thread ***

    I'm sure there's evangelists who'll tell you you need to work out out PIR to 3 decimal places. Personally, IDGAF. Life's too short for that one. Just chuck BH auto foam in a bottle and spray it on the car. If you've got a lance that allows you to adjust the water/soap ratio, set it so that it's...

    Can this be pointed ?

    I doubt it's too wide as such, but it'll take a hell of a lot more mortar and may look a bit odd when done. Is lifting and better aligning the paving an option?

    Replacing a single tyre

    Never heard of alignment being included in the price of tyres. Balancing yes, alignment no. I'd replace both if the other tyre has more than 1mm of wear taken off it

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    That's their scapegoat. But as with every other giant conglomerate at the moment, it's a complete lie to cover yet more corporate greed. https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/uk/news/breaking-news/admiral-group-reveals-significant-turnover-increase-480107.aspx Admiral was the the first hit...

    Another heavy crash for Williams to have to repair, assuming it is even repairable and not another broken tub.

    What is the best car you've ever owned and a brief reason why?

    Mercedes E400d. Super comfortable, all the toys, fantastic cruiser, and ridiculously quick. The perfect all-rounder. I miss it every day.
